Ruben Amorim is in place at Old Trafford, Manchester United supporters have been celebrating in advance that Europe’s hottest striker this season chooses the red part of Manchester. That Viktor Gyökeres will follow his former mentor to Manchester this summer, it must be obvious. Barcelona intend to stop this “done deal” transfer to United and have come up with a clever plan.

According to Spanish Sport , Barcelona management has made a plan for the Swede. This will give the club maximum utilization of Robert Lewandowski, while Sporting get maximum utilization of Gyökeres.

The Spanish media reports Barcelona want to sign the Swede in 2025, send the 26-year-old directly back to Sporting on loan without packing his bags, and then pull on the Barca shirt when Lewandwoski leaves at Camp Nou after the 2025/26 season.

Barcelona are of course doing this to adapt to the situation with top scorer Lewandowski, not miss a unique opportunity to secure Europe’s sharpest striker, reduce the transfer fee through the loan back to Sporting, but at the same time have a very strong bargaining chip with Sporting who do not want to lose Gyökeres.
