Arsenal player is telling Barcelona to sign him every single day
Arsenal are open to selling quite a few of their players this summer.
The Gunners have a big squad, and although there is no immediate FFP or PSR concern, sales are important to balance the books.
Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Ethan Nwaneri were all left out of the Community Shield squad, and all three players could be on the move.
Another player who is said to be open to a shock exit is Viktor Gyokeres.
Viktor Gyokeres is offering himself to Barcelona every day
Arsenal only signed Gyokeres last summer.
The Gunners had to work extremely hard to land the Swede. It took Andrea Berta several weeks to strike an agreement with Sporting CP.
Gyokeres eventually arrived, and he finished his debut season at the Emirates with 21 goals and a Premier League title.
Now, with Arsenal on the lookout for a new forward, it looks like the striker is exploring a move away.
COPE’s Victor Navarro revealed on X that Barcelona have turned their attention to other strikers after receiving another rejection from Atletico Madrid regarding Julian Alvarez.
Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez is the top choice, but in the meantime, the journalist revealed that Gyokeres is trying to get Barcelona to sign him every single day.
Navarro tweeted: “Lautaro Martinez becomes, with the consensus of the entire club, the number 1 option for Barca. Yesterday, the club once again received the information that Gil Marin (CEO of Atletico Madrid) is vetoing Julian Alvarez.
“Gyokeres is offering himself to Barca daily. Tresoldi is very, very much liked at FCB.”
Victor Gyokeres could make way for Julian Alvarez at Arsenal
Despite Alvarez’s desire, Atletico Madrid have made it absolutely clear that they will not sell him to Barcelona in this window.
The Argentine must be disappointed, but he has another potential destination.
Arsenal have been interested in Alvarez for months, and they have seemingly been waiting for his Barcelona dream to collapse.
If Barca end up signing Gyokeres now, it will not only free up space for Arsenal but also block Alvarez’s move to Camp Nou.
The Gunners could then go all out for Alvarez and sign him before the window shuts.
