Viktor Gyokeres, the talented striker from Sporting Lisbon, is poised to ignite a massive transfer battle this summer. With his impressive performances, including a stunning hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League, Gyokeres has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
Sporting Lisbon initially set a hefty release clause of €100 million for Gyokeres. However, recent reports suggest that the club might be willing to let him go for a lower fee, potentially around €63 million. This reduction in price has made Gyokeres an even more attractive target for Premier League clubs looking to bolster their attacking options.
Manchester United is particularly keen on securing Gyokeres’ signature. With interim manager Ruben Amorim set to take charge at Old Trafford, there is a strong possibility that he will look to bring his former player to the club. Amorim has a good relationship with Gyokeres, which could give United an edge in the transfer race.
Chelsea and Arsenal are also in the mix, with both clubs needing elite strikers to strengthen their squads. Gyokeres’ impressive goal-scoring record, with 23 goals in 17 games this season, makes him an ideal candidate for either team.
According to reports from The Sun, Gyokeres’ advisors are pushing for a club in the Champions League.
Arsenal and Chelsea are on high alert as they want to qualify for next season, while the Gunners are now in their third consecutive season. Arsenal appear to have been scouting the striker for the past year.
