An astronomical offer puts Viktor Gyökeres' signing by Barça in jeopardy

Viktor Gyökeres started 2025 on the right foot. After going through a rough patch following Rúben Amorim's departure from Sporting CP, the Swedish striker found his best form again in the first match of the year against Vitoria Guimaraes, celebrating his fourth hat-trick of the season.

This new performance from the forward came amid rumors about his potential departure from José Alvalade during this winter transfer window. The player's explosion keeps him linked to the continent's top clubs, and several of them would attempt to sign him this January. The player would have rejected an offer from Manchester United to head to Old Trafford in the coming weeks, but he would already have another proposal on the table.

Bayern accelerates for Gyökeres

According to reports from the 'Daily Star', Bayern Munich is making a significant effort to bring Gyökeres into Vincent Kompany's squad. The Bavarians dream of pairing the forward with Harry Kane to form a lethal duo, and to achieve this, they would be willing to pay the 100 million euros stipulated in the Nordic player's release clause.

If this move materializes, FC Barcelona would be left without one of their main candidates for the center of the attack. The Catalans are looking for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski and the star from Sporting CP is one of the favorites of the sports management. However, the tough competition in the operation, with PSG also lurking, seriously jeopardizes his potential arrival in the Catalan capital.
