Barcelona Rule Out Move for Gyökeres as Lewandowski Stays Top Choice

Barcelona’s sporting director has said the club isn’t looking for a new striker this summer. They have confidence in Robert Lewandowski as their main choice. Despite Viktor Gyökeres’ great performances at Sporting CP, Barcelona is not planning to bring in a new attacker.

WHAT WAS SAID?

The club director said Viktor Gyökeres is a talented striker who has done well in Portugal with Sporting. However, he made it clear that Barcelona are not looking for a new forward. He emphasized that Robert Lewandowski is still the main striker and will be the trusted number nine for the new season.

CONTEXT: LEWANDOWSKI’S IMPACT AND BARÇA’S SEASON

Lewandowski has been consistently good for Barcelona since joining in 2022. He recently scored his 100th goal for the club. In the 2024-25 LaLiga season, he scored 27 goals and made 2 assists in 34 games. He continues to be one of the top scorers in the league. Although Barcelona finished second in La Liga behind Real Madrid, they have relied heavily on the experienced striker’s goals to stay competitive.

WHAT IS NEXT FOR BARCELONA AND LEWANDOWSKI?

With Lewandowski as the main striker, Barcelona will look to improve other areas of the team during the summer. They will focus on pre-season practice and upcoming games as they try to win the La Liga title and advance further in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Sporting CP hope to keep Gyökeres after he played a big part in their successful season in Portugal. Barcelona’s next official match will be the La Liga opener in August, where they aim to start strong with their top goal-scorer leading the way.
