Barcelona, May 19, 2025 – Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres has surprised the world of football by revealing that his next destination will be FC Barcelona, a step that will take this summer after his decision to leave the Sporting of Lisbon. In a statement that has generated great expectation, the 26 -year -old said that he feels that the Catalan club is the ideal place to continue his career, especially after having experienced cold treatment in his current team. “Barcelona is the dream that I want to fulfill. I want to conquer all the titles with this club, and the Champions League is my priority,” Gyökeres said with determination.
Sporting’s departure seems imminent after a brilliant season in which the Swedish scored more than 40 goals, consolidating himself as one of the best strikers in Europe. However, his relationship with the Portuguese club has deteriorated, which has led him to look for a new challenge. With an agreement that could facilitate its transfer for a figure close to 70 million euros, Barcelona is positioned as the favorite to take its services, exceeding the interest of giants such as Manchester United and Arsenal.
The arrival of Gyökeres would be a key reinforcement for the Blaugrana attack, especially as the long -term successor of Robert Lewandowski, who, at 37, remains a pillar but already shows signs of wear. The Swedish, known for its imposing physique, speed and ability to press, fits perfectly in the style of play that Hansi Flick is implementing. The German coach, meanwhile, has enthusiastically responded to Gyökeres’s intentions. “He is an incredible talent and a winning mentality. If he comes, I am sure it will be a great contribution to our project,” Flick said at a press conference this morning at 09:35 am local time.
The Barcelona directive, led by Joan Laporta, works intensely to close the transfer, although financial restrictions could complicate negotiations. The possibility of including players like Vitor Roque in the operation could be a strategy to reduce the cost. Meanwhile, Culés fans are excited about the arrival of a striker who promises to return the team to the European elite. Gyökeres, with his ambition and scorer record, could be the catalyst that Barcelona needs to recover the glory, starting with the next edition of the Champions League.
