Barcelona not considering €70 million-rated forward for now as PSG’s interest strengthens

According to a recent revelation made by Gabriel Sans in Mundo Deportivo, it has come to light that Barcelona are not currently considering signing Viktor Gyokeres.

Despite speculation linking the Sporting Lisbon forward to the club, sources within FC Barcelona have denied any interest in him at the moment.

Furthermore, While Paris Saint-Germain, under Luis Enrique, are reported to be monitoring the player, Barcelona’s attention appears to be elsewhere.

Problems within Barcelona
The club is still actively looking for a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski. However, with the Poland international likely to extend his contract until 2026, any new striker brought in would likely have to settle for a backup role.

This presents a challenge for any player, as playing second fiddle to Lewandowski would not appeal to many top strikers, including Gyokeres, who is currently enjoying a leading role at Sporting Lisbon.
