Arsenal FC could lose Viktor Gyökeres in the upcoming winter transfer window. The Swedish forward, 28 years old, wants to leave Mikel Arteta's team in January 2027 due to his lack of playing time. Atlético de Madrid is among the clubs interested in a transfer that would come just a year and a half after his signing from Sporting de Portugal for over £60 million.

According to TEAMtalk, the striker is becoming increasingly unhappy with his sports situation. He has not yet started in any match of the Premier League 2026/27, and Arsenal's interest in Julián Álvarez has raised doubts about his continuity in London.

Arsenal FC Could Lose Gyökeres After a Million-Pound Investment

The situation of Viktor Gyökeres has changed considerably since his arrival at the Emirates Stadium in July 2025. Arsenal paid around £63.5 million, including add-ons, to bring him from Sporting de Portugal, where he had scored 54 goals in 52 matches during his last season.

The forward signed a five-year contract, until June 2030, intending to become an offensive reference for Arteta. In his first season, he scored 21 goals in all competitions and contributed to winning the Premier League.

However, the start of the current season has been different. The Swedish player has not scored yet and has had few opportunities in the English league. Kai Havertz has become Arteta's primary choice to play as center forward.

The lack of starts has made the footballer seriously consider his future. His priority is to regain playing time, and if the situation doesn't change, he would be willing to request a transfer during the winter window.

Julián Álvarez Complicates Gyökeres' Future

Another factor affecting the forward's continuity is Arsenal's interest in Julián Álvarez. The Argentine striker from Atlético de Madrid is among the offensive targets of the London team since last summer.

The potential arrival of Álvarez would mean bringing in another player to directly compete for the center forward position. This scenario worries Gyökeres, who has already lost prominence without any additional signing in that position.

Arsenal, on the other hand, is not ruling out considering offers for the Swedish player. However, as per reports, the club does not intend to allow his departure without first securing a replacement to ensure offensive options for Arteta.

Sporting planning will be crucial. The London team must assess both the investment made in 2025 and the player's current performance before considering any potential deal.

Atlético de Madrid and various European clubs monitor his situation

Atlético de Madrid is among the potential destinations for Gyökeres. The red and white team is monitoring the forward's progress, although there are no formal offers to acquire him at the moment.

Interest also comes from Italy, where Juventus and AC Milan are attentive to his situation. Additionally, other teams from England and Germany are watching developments ahead of the January market.

Competition may intensify if Arsenal FC confirms their readiness to negotiate. However, a public release clause has not been set for the Swedish international.

The next step will come with the market opening on January 1, 2027. Until then, Arsenal must decide whether to reintegrate Gyökeres into Arteta's rotation or to seek a substitute that would facilitate negotiating his transfer without diminishing the team's attacking options.
