Unexpected, Barça Takes a Step Forward with Viktor Gyökeres: '2 Players for 1'

The Swedish forward remains on FC Barcelona's list, which proposes a player exchange to lower his price

FC Barcelona Has Planned a Major Reinforcement in Their Attack. Lewandowski has only one year left on his contract, and the idea is to find a generational replacement. There are various names on the list, among which the Swedish Viktor Gyökeres, from Sporting, stands out. He intends to leave and has attracted the interest of several major European clubs, including Barça itself.

Viktor Gyökeres, Less Than 100M

In recent months, it has become known that Gyökeres's release clause reaches 100 million euros, but his real price is lower. Sporting is willing to negotiate his sale and do him a favor for his services rendered. This is the information from "A Bola," which has laid out the economic conditions for his potential departure.

The aforementioned information has pointed out that the cost of Viktor Gyökeres will be in a range between 65 and 75 million euros. In this regard, he will decide his next destination, having several options on the table for when he chooses to leave Portugal. Barça is one of them, but there is a bid for his services, and the truth is that his future seems to be heading to the Premier League.

Barça Has a Plan: 2 Players for Viktor Gyökeres

In this regard, Barcelona would intend to lower the final price of Viktor Gyökeres by including two players in the operation. "Madrid-Barcelona" has learned that an essential factor could be Francisco Trincao, who is at Sporting itself. Both clubs share his ownership, and that 50% would be valued at about 15-20 million euros.

The first would be Trincao, while the next would indeed come from Barça. We are talking about Ansu Fati, whose future could be in Portugal. Jorge Mendes would be pushing for this operation, trying to give his protégé a new start away from Camp Nou.

Between Francisco Trincao and Ansu Fati, Barça's plan would be clear: to reduce Viktor Gyökeres's final price by about 30 million euros. Deco knows it will be challenging, especially due to the high interest the Swede has caused in the market. In any case, it is not the priority in the search for a "9," although everything can be negotiated. There is time for the final decision, and they don't want to make a mistake.
