Paris Saint-Germain are already planning for next season and recognize the need for a world-class central striker. Luis Enrique, pleased with Ousmane Dembélé’s progress, is looking for a forward who can elevate the performances of both Dembélé and Bradley Barcola.
According to reports from El Nacional, Viktor Gyökeres has emerged as a key target—the same striker Hansi Flick views as an ideal signing for Barcelona. The Swedish forward has been one of Europe’s standout players this season, excelling at Sporting Lisbon and drawing interest from several top clubs.
PSG are prepared to make a significant financial offer to secure Gyökeres ahead of their competitors. Meanwhile, Barcelona, despite Flick’s strong interest, faces financial hurdles that could make it difficult to compete with the French club.
PSG’s attack has lacked consistency this season, with Gonzalo Ramos and Kolo Muani struggling to meet expectations. As a result, Luis Enrique is searching for a striker who can consistently deliver goals and seamlessly fit into his tactical system.
With his physical presence, clinical finishing, and movement inside the box, Gyökeres appears to be the perfect fit. The Swedish star has scored an astonishing 34 goals in 35 matches for Sporting Lisbon, making him one of the most in-demand strikers on the market.
Barcelona’s management has also identified Gyökeres as a priority target to strengthen their frontline. Flick has approved the move, recognizing the urgent need for a top-class number nine. However, the club’s financial constraints could prevent them from competing with PSG’s superior financial power.
Should PSG successfully land Gyökeres, Enrique would have a lethal attacking trio, featuring Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the wings, with the Swedish striker leading the line. This setup would provide speed, fluidity, and technical brilliance, making PSG’s attack one of the most formidable in Europe.
Meanwhile, if Gyökeres opts for PSG, Barcelona will need to explore alternative options. Competing with the French giants in the transfer market will be tough, and Flick may have to shift his focus to other strikers if Barcelona cannot resolve their financial issues.
