<p>According to <a href="https://www.abola.pt/futebol/noticias/sporting-ja-escolheu-substituto-de-gyokeres-2025070623135002586" target="_blank"><em>A Bola</em></a>, the Portuguese club have identified Almeria's Suarez to replace Gyokeres as their primary striker. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/fee-arsenal-will-pay-sporting-viktor-gyokeres-striker-target-turn-away-benjamin-sesko/blt294e4b88cadf9a32" target="_blank">Arsenal have advanced their interest in the Swedish striker</a>, which has prompted the Liga Portugal champions to fill their forward spot.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Suarez was the top scorer in Spain's second division, scoring 27 goals and registering eight assists in 41 games for the Andalusian club. The 27-year-old has been scouted by multiple clubs, but reportedly Sporting are the only club to have approached the Spanish side over a possible transfer for the striker.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Colombian striker is reportedly interested in moving to Lisbon as Sporting are the only interested side that will play in the Champions League next season. Suarez is tied to Almeria until 2029 and has a release clause of €40 million (£34m/$47m). The Spanish side are willing to offload the striker for €25m (£21m/$29m), but Sporting are confident they can make a deal for a much cheaper price.</p>

However, even with the 27-year-old making efforts, it still falls below the Portuguese club's valuation of the player. Signs are positive as the London club are trying to negotiate a deal and bring the transfer to a conclusion.</p>
