Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly eager to join FC Barcelona as the summer transfer window nears its end. Following Barcelona's failed pursuit of Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez, Gyokeres' camp is actively pushing for a move. The 28-year-old had an impressive debut season at Arsenal but often found himself on the bench for key matches. Despite Gyokeres' interest, Arsenal is not under pressure to sell, as he is contracted until 2030. Barcelona may explore making a formal offer for the striker, though financial complexities could impact negotiations.
