FC Barcelona is currently in a spectacular moment, but even so, the sports management is already working on future transfers. The center forward position is more than covered with a Lewandowski in spectacular form, matching his best numbers at Bayern. However, the Polish forward is already quite old, so despite his form, the management is studying the market for a quality replacement.
Considering that the elections are in less than a year, Laporta needs a blockbuster transfer to secure the members' vote again. We all think of Haaland when we talk about a center forward and Laporta, but his transfer is very complicated. That's why the name the club has on the table to eventually replace Robert Lewandowski is Viktor Gyökeres.
THE FORWARD IN FASHION Viktor Gyökeres is one of the trending names in European soccer. So far this season, the Swedish forward has spectacular numbers, 18 goals and 4 assists in 16 matches, quite surprising numbers for a Sporting CP player. Major clubs on the continent are closely following the Swede, Manchester United with the addition of Ruben Amorim, could be one of the most interested offers in the center forward.
Barça is one of them too, and considering that by summer the club will have balanced the books, the blaugranas position themselves as serious competitors for the player. The Lisbon team would be willing to transfer him for a figure between 60 and 70 million euros. Therefore, the sports management is studying some ways to reduce the operation's price.
THE SWAP THEY'D BE WILLING TO MAKE According to the Portuguese newspaper "A Bola", in Can Barça they would want to offer Sporting CP a swap with Vitor Roque, who arrived in January for the amount of 30 million. "Tigrinho" is on loan at Betis, a team where he is already starting to regain confidence and has scored 4 goals in 11 matches. In fact, the Portuguese considered his transfer in the summer, but the Brazilian forward didn't want to leave LaLiga and chose Manuel Pellegrini's Betis.
Despite all the complications this operation could have, FC Barcelona doesn't lose hope of emerging as the winner in this race for Gyökeres's transfer.
