One of the main tasks that FC Barcelona will have to address in the upcoming 2025-26 summer transfer market is the acquisition of a top-level center forward to strengthen the sporting project, thinking not only about the present but also the future. There seems to be several alternatives already considered as favorites for this issue, but the complexities in their negotiations suggest that it will not be an easy task to finalize.
In this sense, one of the names that resonates the most to strengthen the forward line of FC Barcelona is that of the 26-year-old Swedish striker, Viktor Gyokeres, who has established himself as one of the best '9s' in the world. His statistics in the 2024-25 season back this up: 34 goals in 34 matches, enjoying an impressive average of one goal per game. Truly remarkable.
Precisely, these impressive numbers of a world-class goal scorer are what has sparked the interest not only of FC Barcelona but also of other top clubs in securing the services of Viktor Gyokeres. With this in mind, it is likely that the player will change clubs in the upcoming summer transfer market, either joining the Blaugrana or another team.
The price of the Swedish striker could be a 'bargain' next summer
Viktor Gyokeres needs to take a step forward towards a top-level team worldwide to showcase his value as a scorer, thus closing a cycle at Sporting CP, which experienced a decline after Ruben Amorim's departure. Although the Lisbon team is gradually getting back on track, it would not be surprising if the Swede still wants to try his luck at another club.
Furthermore, recent reports indicate that the striker could try to force his way out of the club for around €60M. This also suggests that a club change is likely next season.
Why should FC Barcelona consider signing Gyokeres soon?
This poses a serious inconvenience for FC Barcelona, as if they want to have Viktor Gyokeres, they will have to bet on him in the upcoming summer market. However, the situation is not entirely clear, because although they are interested in acquiring a center forward, it seems that the priority, according to the club's sporting direction, lies in signing a left winger.
Not only that, but the renewal of Robert Lewandowski seems to be getting closer to reality. Therefore, if the Polish player renews, taking into account the incredible numbers he is producing and if he manages to maintain them, the signing of a star striker for the 2026-27 summer window could be postponed. In this scenario, there is a high risk of losing Viktor Gyokeres in this summer market.
Now, it will be necessary to evaluate where this operation leads. While the signing of the Stockholm native could be economically feasible and progress smoothly thanks to the solid relationships between FC Barcelona and Sporting CP, it is necessary to consider whether the Catalan club will steer his incorporation as soon as possible. Especially considering that it has been mentioned that the Blaugrana are also interested, for example, in Alexander Isak from Newcastle.
