Barcelona have begun their search for Robert Lewandowski's successor, with Sporting CP marksman Viktor Gyokeres one of their top targets. While it will be difficult to withdraw from the agreement, developments over the past 24 hours make this more possible.
On Friday, Barcelona made the long-awaited return to La Liga's 1:1 rule, meaning they can spend more money. It means they can start looking for a top striker as soon as possible, with plans for moves in the summer.
Regarding Gyokeres, there is speculation that several Premier League clubs could make a move for the Swede this month, although Diario AS say the 26-year-old is planning to leave mid-season.
The expectation is that Barcelona would only go for Gyokeres if Lewandowski were to leave at the end of the season, which would only happen if the player himself gave the green light (which is highly unlikely). As such, it will be difficult.
