Barça has a plan for Viktor Gyökeres: this is how they intend to lower his price

Viktor Gyökeres is set to be one of the major attractions of the upcoming summer transfer window. The 26-year-old Swede has limited time left at Sporting CP, as his impressive breakout this season has put him on the radar of the continent's top clubs (including FC Barcelona), who are already preparing their bids to secure one of the most coveted pieces in the market.

In fact, teams like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Juventus have already made moves to get ahead in the race for the forward and have presented their offers to convince him to join their ranks. The 'red devils', specifically, have him very high on their list of potential signings and will pursue his acquisition until the end, as it was under the orders of Rúben Amorim that the Nordic player showed his best version.

Meanwhile, at Can Barça, they do not intend to make a hasty decision and are carefully analyzing the various alternatives to replace Robert Lewandowski in the center of the attack. Alexander Isak would be the top favorite of the sports management, but the high figures involved in his operation make him a complicated option for the summer. Therefore, the name of Gyökeres remains on the table, although, for now, there have been no significant advances in his potential signing.

Barça's formula to lower Gyökeres' price

However, from the offices of Spotify Camp Nou, they are working on strategies to reduce the final amount of the operation for the Swede if they ultimately decide to pursue his signing. According to 'SPORT', Sporting CP would demand a figure ranging between 65 and 75 million euros to agree to transfer their star player at the end of the season, but the Catalans could achieve an even more accessible price.

Indeed, the Catalans have the card of Francisco Trincao up their sleeve. The Catalans have a buyback option for the player, which they could waive, in addition to holding fifty percent of a future sale of the player. Everything points to the fact that the Portuguese winger will change teams next summer for a high price, and Barça could use this leverage to reach an affordable agreement with the lions for the signing of Gyökeres.

The excellent relationship that Deco maintains with the executives of the Portuguese club could be key in the operation, but, as of today, the player is not a priority for the Blaugrana. For now, in the Premier League, they would have the upper hand in the race, and it would be only in April when the 'saga' of the goalscorer begins to unfold. At Can Barça, they remain on alert, and Trincao could be the factor that tips the balance in their favor if they bet on the Swede as Lewy's replacement in the attack.
