Barcelona set to challenge Real Madrid for Robert Lewandowski’s heir – report

Barcelona and Real Madrid are set to battle it out in the transfer market as both clubs have turned their attention to Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, claims a report from Fichajes.

The Swedish forward has been in exceptional form since making the move to Portugal, delivering impressive goal-scoring numbers that have caught the eye of top European clubs.

Now, the two Spanish giants are ready to compete for his signature in an effort to strengthen their attacking options.

Fee involved in his operation
Reports suggest that Sporting CP would be open to negotiating his transfer for around €75 million, significantly lower than his €100 million release clause.

This reduced valuation makes the deal more feasible for both clubs, with Barcelona and Real Madrid considering his addition to their squads ahead of the next transfer window.

For Barcelona, Gyokeres is seen as a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski.
