According to Sport, Barça would consider recruiting Victor Gyökeres, serial scorer for Sporting and Sweden, to make him Robert Lewandowski's successor. With a particular assembly.
If Barça can currently count on Robert Lewandowski – at least until 2026 – to stack the goals, Sport assures that the Catalan club would see in Victor Gyökeres, the best European director of the moment, his ideal successor at the forefront of the attack blaugrana. And the Barcelona media even indicates that management has a precise plan to recruit the 26-year-old Swedish center forward.
Barça's idea would be to sign Gyökeres for an amount of around 70 million euros… and leave him on loan to Sporting during the 2025-2026 season. If the player's release clause is 100 million euros, Barça would consider that the Swede can leave for a lower amount, and that this arrangement would allow them to benefit from Lewandowski until the end of his contract, while allowing Gyökeres to continue his harvest in Portugal.

Other big names on the lookout
Still, according to Sport, Barça is obviously not the only club interested in the former Brighton player. Manchester United would be in particular, with much greater financial room for maneuver.
Asked a few days ago about a possible interest in Gyökeres, Deco, Barça's sporting director, did not want to fuel the rumor. “He’s a good player,” he observed. “He has been scoring goals for a long time in Portugal, we know him well but it is not our priority at the moment and we are not looking for a 9 to replace Robert. Because we want him to continue for another season. He is happy to be here, so we're not going to talk about a specific player now.”
