The transfer market of FC Barcelona is not over yet and is considering Viktor Gyökeres, a 28-year-old forward from Arsenal, and Nicolò Tresoldi, a 22-year-old forward from Club Brugge, as alternatives to strengthen their attack in case they fail to finalize the arrival of Lautaro Martínez before the market closes. José Álvarez, on El Chiringuito, places both on the Barcelona list for the final days of August.

The option of Lautaro has become complicated due to Inter Milan's stance. Their president, Giuseppe Marotta, stated on August 22 that the Italian club does not consider letting go of their 29-year-old captain. The Argentine has scored 175 goals in 376 matches since joining Inter in 2018.

FC Barcelona considers Viktor Gyökeres among its options

Viktor Gyökeres emerges as the more experienced choice of the two. The Swedish player moved to Arsenal from Sporting CP in July 2025 and ended his first season in England with 18 goals in all competitions, according to data released by the London club.

In the Premier League, he scored 14 goals in 36 games during the 2025/26 season. Arsenal also clinched the English championship, making negotiations for his departure complex due to his recent incorporation through a long-term contract.

The striker's name has already been considered this week among the alternatives by FC Barcelona. Cadena SER included him along with other forwards after the club faced difficulties in securing a new '9'.

Nicolò Tresoldi gains ground after his season start

The second option is Nicolò Tresoldi, a German forward from Club Brugge. The player is under contract until June 2029 with a market value around 25 million euros, yet the Belgian club might demand between 45 and 50 million to allow his exit.

Tresoldi scored 19 goals in the Belgian league last season and has opened the 2026/27 season with four goals in his first four official matches. His progress has attracted interest from Atlético Madrid, potentially creating competition if Barça decides to pursue the player.

His profile offers a different scenario than Gyökeres. The Swedish player brings experience from England and Portugal, while Nicolò Tresoldi would allow Barça to invest in a 22-year-old forward with room for growth and initially lower cost.

A new forward is needed

FC Barcelona will have to decide in the final days of the market whether to continue their pursuit of Lautaro or explore one of these alternatives. With Inter refusing to negotiate for the Argentine, Viktor Gyökeres and Tresoldi stand as two paths to consider before the transfer window closes, with the club still planning to add a forward to compete in LaLiga and the Champions League.
