LIVERPOOLBREAKING: Viktor Gyökeres has said YES to the Liverpool project. Club to club talk now to agree a fee ongoing

Barcelona is finalizing preparations for their upcoming Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday, December 11. Hansi Flick’s side enters the fixture following a 2-2 draw with Real Betis over the weekend.

Meanwhile, the Catalan club is reportedly interested in bringing a Liverpool right-back to Camp Nou. Additionally, they are not considering a move for Viktor Gyokeres.

Barcelona Targets Trent Alexander-Arnold

Barcelona has set their sights on Trent Alexander-Arnold, according to *Caught Offside* and *Bernabeu Digital* (via *Barca Universal*). The English right-back’s contract with Liverpool expires in just over six months, and he has yet to sign an extension.

Real Madrid is already monitoring the situation and plans to secure him on a free transfer at the end of the season. However, Barcelona is now looking to disrupt their rival’s plans.

With Jules Kounde struggling at right-back and a lack of depth in that position, Alexander-Arnold’s arrival could solve a pressing issue in Flick’s squad. Club president Joan Laporta reportedly wants to make a statement by signing one of Real Madrid’s top targets.

Securing Alexander-Arnold, however, will not be easy. Liverpool is keen to retain him, while Manchester City is also said to be in the race.

Barcelona Not Pursuing Viktor Gyokeres

Barcelona is not actively chasing Viktor Gyokeres, according to journalist Gabriel Sans (via *Barca Universal*). While the club is considering long-term options to succeed Robert Lewandowski, the Polish striker is expected to remain at Camp Nou until 2026.

With Lewandowski still performing at a high level, signing a new striker is no longer a top priority. Any incoming forward would have to accept a backup role, which makes a move for Gyokeres unlikely.

The Swedish forward, currently excelling at Sporting CP with 25 goals in 22 matches this season, has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain. However, by 2026, he will be 28, potentially making him a less attractive investment for Barcelona.

Eric Garcia Open to Leaving in 2025

Eric Garcia is not opposed to departing Barcelona in 2025, according to Gabriel Sans (via *Barca Universal*). The defender has fallen out of favor at Camp Nou, and the club appears open to selling him next year.

There is reported Premier League interest in Garcia, and Hansi Flick has informed the 23-year-old that he is no longer guaranteed playing time. While Barcelona will not block his departure, they prefer to keep him until the end of the season, believing he still has a role to play.

Garcia’s contract runs until 2026, and he is open to leaving in order to revive his career. The club is expected to evaluate offers for him in the summer.
