Viktor Gyokeres is one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers, and sources indicate Barcelona may not be able to fight for him, exposing the club’s financial difficulties once again, according to SPORT. Gyokeres’ current team, Sporting Lisbon, has apparently set a high asking price of €100 million, which the Blaugrana cannot pay during the current transfer window or even in the summer. Gyokeres’ remarkable form has been causing a stir throughout Europe. The forward is among the most talked-about players in the football world because of his consistent goal-scoring ability.
Although Sporting Lisbon is eager to keep their best striker, they are aware that other teams are showing interest in him. The club is determined to keep him, and they believe that €100 million is a reasonable amount considering his exceptional performances.
Gyokeres is an Impossible Dream for Barca
The Nordic “killer” is being watched by numerous clubs, including FC Barcelona. However, the Blaugrana are unlikely to be able to make the significant outlay required to sign him in the current winter market, let alone in the summer. The Lisbon team has already covered its bases and searched the market for substitutes in case they lose their star in January, according to A Bola.
Gyokeres has the opportunity to raise his value even more with four pivotal Champions League games remaining before the window shuts. Although Barcelona has their eye on the striker and admires him, they are unlikely to pursue a deal because of their budgetary limitations. The Catalan powerhouses must now take a backseat while other affluent teams vie for one of Europe’s most productive attackers.
