Barca News
A big surprise is what was announced just a few hours ago, and it is that they claim that Barça would be following very closely the situation of a player who could arrive to strengthen the attack. Although no sale has yet been finalized, Joan Laporta’s intention is to get rid of Ferran Torres, Raphinha Dias and Vitor Roque, who arrived in January, but has not been able to meet expectations.
All of them are on the transferable list, and if a good offer arrives, they will not hesitate and at the Camp Nou they will allow them to change their minds. This would leave significant income, although it would also be necessary to sign new stars for the offensive plot, which would be orphaned.
And one footballer who is in the spotlight and who seems to particularly convince Deco is Victor Gyokeres, who signed a year to remember in his first campaign in Portugal.
He signed for Sporting de Portugal after excelling in the Championship, but no one could imagine that he would adapt so quickly, and have such a spectacular impact. He became the offensive reference of the Lisbon team, and the big star of the team , as evidenced by the 43 goals and 15 assists he achieved in all competitions. Spectacular figures, and which place him as one of the best rams of the moment.
He was without a doubt the main responsible for them celebrating the Primeira Liga victory again at the José Alvalade Stadium, and there are many top-level institutions that have been interested in his recruitment. Manchester United , Chelsea, Arsenal, Atlético de Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur or Juventus of Turin have positioned themselves for the Swedish international, and they now also need to include Barça.
Laporta and Deco do not rule out an attempt to give more alternatives in the attack to Hans-Dieter Flick, and Gyokeres is particularly liked, since the reports that the observers have drawn up are highly recommended.
But Barça already know that signing the former Coventry City, Swansea City, Brighton & Hove Albion or Sant Pauli player would not exactly be cheap, and they will demand more than 65 million euros.
A very high investment, and more so if we consider that Gyokeres would a priori be Robert Lewandowski’s substitute. However, a last-minute surprise cannot be ruled out.
