Barcelona eyeing Sporting CP striker Gyokeres and have special request

Sport says Barcelona are keeping close tabs on Gyökeres' situation.

Barcelona do not have the finances to bring in a new No9 this summer, but can act next year.

The Spanish giants sees the Swede as a good replacement for Robert Lewandowski - who turns 36 in August.

Sporting would be willing to sell Gyökeres for around €65m, but Barcelona's biggest threat is if rival clubs choose to act this summer.

Gyökeres' contract with the Portuguese champions runs until the summer of 2028.
