Many began to compare him with Cristiano Ronaldo but the truth is that he is far from it, he does seem like an interesting forward but due to his age (26 years) it seems unlikely that he will be able to even come close to the Portuguese who at the same age was already scored 187 goals, had three Premier Leagues with Manchester United and had already won a Champions League, he also already had a Ballon d'Or in his showcases.

The truth is that now Gyökeres has become the striker of the moment, Barcelona wants him as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski who is already 36 years old and Real Madrid also after he could never make up for the absence of Karim Benzema, although the current champion of the Champions League never stopped winning titles until now it does not have a nine in the area.

How much does Viktor Gyökeres cost?

Given the rumors linking Gyökeres with teams of the stature of Barcelona and Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon has reacted quickly to ensure his permanence. The club has set a termination clause close to 100 million euros, making any transfer attempt by Spain's big clubs difficult. This shielding is a preventive measure to prevent Gyökeres from being tempted by other teams during the next transfer window.

In addition to the clause, the player has a contract until 2028, which gives him important contractual security and puts Sporting in a strong position in any possible negotiation.

Barcelona needs a promising young striker who can replace Robert Lewandowski in the coming years, and Gyökeres fits that description. His ability to play as an offensive reference and his mobility make him an attractive option for Xavi Hernández's game system.

Viktor Gyökeres skills, how to play?

After the departure of Karim Benzema, the white team continues to look for options to reinforce its attack. Although they have already signed players like Joselu and have Vinícius Jr. and Rodrygo, Gyökeres would bring a different dimension with his physical game and his ability to play as a pure "9".

Although Sporting have taken steps to protect their investment, it cannot be ruled out that both Barcelona and Real Madrid will try to make a bid for the Swedish striker in the future. Everything will depend on his performance in the coming seasons and if the Spanish clubs decide to face the high termination clause.
