Premier League
The agent of Viktor Gyökeres, forward for Arsenal, has initiated contacts with the sporting director of FC Barcelona, Deco, to offer his services in this final stretch of the transfer market. The blaugrana team continues to search for a striker, making it the most anticipated Barcelona signing.
As reported by Cadena COPE and El Chiringuito, the Swedish international is seeking an exit from the London club, becoming an option for the Catalan squad following Atlético Madrid's refusal to negotiate the transfer of Julián Álvarez just two weeks before the transfer window closes.

Viktor Gyökeres's situation at Arsenal and Hansi Flick's needs
The Scandinavian attacker joined Arsenal a year ago from Sporting Portugal for $86.6 million (£64 million). Despite scoring 21 goals in his first season, the striker has lost his starting position in Mikel Arteta's lineup to Kai Havertz, has gone six official matches without a goal, and was a substitute in both the Champions League final in May and the 3-0 victory against Manchester City in the Community Shield.
Meanwhile, FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is demanding the addition of a target striker after Ferran Torres's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain for $58.1 million (£43 million) and Robert Lewandowski's departure at the end of his contract in June. The Barcelona sports commission has launched this inquiry due to financial constraints in pursuing signings like Lautaro Martínez (Inter Milan) or Luis J. Suárez (Sporting Portugal).
Market alternatives for FC Barcelona's attack
The Gyökeres option has emerged on Barça's radar after Atlético Madrid rejected offers for Julián Álvarez. The Atlético coach, Diego Simeone, ruled out the Argentine's sale, citing a definitive institutional decision by Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, blocking any transfer to the Catalan capital.
FC Barcelona is considering financial options to structure a formal proposal for the 28-year-old player. Although Arsenal explored an exchange between Gyökeres and Álvarez weeks ago, Atlético's firm stance left the Swedish international with no room in Madrid, shifting negotiations towards the Barcelona board.
Gyökeres's representatives will hold a meeting with Deco at FC Barcelona's facilities in the next 48 hours. In this meeting, the Catalan club will learn the salary demands of the Arsenal player to determine if they will make a formal offer before the weekend.
