Barcelona have emerged as a possible destination for Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres, with reports claiming the Sweden international is open to a summer move.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — Viktor Gyokeres could leave Arsenal after just one season, with Barcelona reportedly interested in signing the Sweden international during the current transfer window. According to transfer reports, the striker is considering a move after finding it difficult to secure a regular starting role despite contributing to Arsenal’s successful Premier League campaign.
Reports claim Gyokeres believes a move could offer him more consistent playing time. The forward is said to be willing to push for a transfer if discussions progress, while sources indicate that a transfer fee of around €60 million could be enough for Arsenal to consider his departure. Neither Arsenal nor Barcelona has publicly commented on the reports.
According to the reports, Barcelona are monitoring the striker as they continue to assess options to strengthen their attacking line ahead of the new season. The Spanish club has been linked with several forwards in recent months as it looks to add quality and depth to its squad.
Gyokeres joined Arsenal with high expectations and played a role in the club’s title-winning campaign. However, competition for places limited his opportunities to establish himself as the team’s undisputed first-choice striker. Barcelona, meanwhile, continue to reshape their squad as they prepare for another domestic and European campaign.
The development means negotiations could gather pace if formal contact begins between the two clubs. At this stage, the reported interest remains unconfirmed by the clubs involved, and any transfer would depend on official discussions, personal terms and Arsenal’s willingness to approve a deal valued at around €60 million.
