Barcelona have been linked with Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres, with his name frequently appearing in the Spanish media. Arsenal have had no active discussions with Barcelona about a transfer and the club is yet to be contacted by Barcelona. Therefore, at this stage, any discussion of a deal is speculative. A huge offer, in addition to progress on a replacement, would be required to change the position of Mikel Arteta's side, as Gyokeres is considered a key player in north London. Arteta said on August 1, following a 4-1 friendly victory over Girona, that Gyokeres will stay.

TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, has been told that suggestions Viktor Gyokeres could join Barcelona are untrue. Fabrizio Romano stated that at the moment, Arsenal have not received any kind of call or direct contact from Barcelona for the player, and no concrete steps have been taken.

Goal.com reports that Barcelona have emerged as contenders to sign Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres, as Hansi Flick looks to rebuild his frontline following the departure of Ferran Torres to Paris Saint-Germain. The Swedish international, who moved to the Emirates Stadium from Sporting CP last summer, is reportedly being considered as a primary alternative after the Blaugrana faced difficulties in their pursuit of other high-profile targets.

According to El Chiriguito via Sport, Viktor Gyokeres has been linked with a move to Barcelona. The club is reportedly ready to make an approach after finalizing the signing of Manchester City midfielder Rodri for an initial fee of €60 million. Fabrizio Romano reports that Barcelona are interested in signing him this summer but are yet to begin formal talks. Romano also states that Arsenal have not received any call or direct contact from Barcelona for Viktor Gyokeres, and that at the moment, Barcelona have not contacted the club. According to the report from Romano, no concrete steps have been taken. Barcelona still need a striker, and Gyokeres is one of several options if they decide to pursue a centre-forward. Julian Alvarez is considered the ideal target for Barcelona.
