Barcelona are looking for the top scorer forward for 75 million euros for the summer; Lewandowski must be let go

In a significant development for Barcelona, ​​AS has learned that Viktor Gyokeres’ agent has made it clear to Premier League clubs that the Swedish striker is fully committed to finishing the season with Sporting CP.

This revelation is a boost for the Catalan giants, who have been closely monitoring the 26-year-old striker as a potential summer signing.

Gyokeres continues to impress with his performances in Portugal. The new year has started as the previous one ended for the forward: with goals.

In the first Portuguese league match after the winter break, he produced an outstanding performance by scoring a hat-trick.

However, despite their efforts, Sporting CP were unable to achieve victory, as their match against Guimaraes ended in a dramatic 4-4 draw.

Either way, Gyokeres’ consistent goalscoring form has kept him in the spotlight, especially now that the January transfer window is open.

I’m not moving in January

As expected, several teams are closely following the Swedish international. Among his admirers is his former coach, Rubén Amorim, who now manages Manchester United.

However, any possible movement during the winter transfer market is ruled out, as confirmed by Gyokeres’ agent.

Hasan Cetinkaya, the forward’s representative, has revealed that the Swede is totally focused on completing the current campaign with Sporting CP.

Boost for Barcelona

For Barcelona, ​​this decision offers a sense of relief and an opportunity to plan for the future. The club have been monitoring Gyokeres for a potential summer move, seeing him as a long-term solution to their attacking needs.

Interestingly, now that the 1:1 rule has been reinstated, the club can think about signing the striker. The management has the idea that if the situation improves, they will have the possibility of betting on the Swede this summer.

However, the club may need to get rid of Robert Lewandowski before they can make room for Gyokeres, as the two top leaders simply cannot coexist together.

For now, however, everything indicates that Lewandowski will stay for one more season and, if confirmed, Barcelona could say goodbye to Gyokeres.
