According to a report, Sporting Lisbon is willing to sanction the sale of Viktor Gyokerres at reduced prices as “thanks”.
The Swedish striker was intended to move away from Portugal this summer, with Man United and Arsenal considered the main ones to win his signature.
Gyokerres has become one of the hottest talents in Europe after a superb return of 43 goals in 43 appearances all so far in 2024-25.
Gyokerres is currently under contract for Sporting until 2028, with its release clause set at 85 million pounds sterling. Several reports this season revealed that he wanted to play in the Premier League.
And, since he has stayed in sport during the January transfer window, the club would be ready to grant GyoKerts his wish to obtain a great move from Portugal this summer.
Portuguese giants are ready to sanction its sale at costs between 55 million pounds sterling and 70 million pounds sterling, as thanks for their snack during the winter, according to The Sun.
Sporting Lisbon would be ready for sale Viktor Gyokerres for 55 million pounds sterling at 70 million pounds sterling this summer – well below his release clause of 85 million pounds Sterling – as a means of thanking him not to leave in January in January
Gyokerres was linked to a move to Man United to find the manager Ruben Amorim
However, the Swedish striker prefers a move to Arsenal on the Red Devils
Sport is up to the knees in a reigning race with Benfica, because the two games are level on the points with six games to do.
After Sporting lost Ruben Amorim in United in November, Gyokerres chose to stay with the club and help deliver a last title of champion before seeking a move.
It has recently been reported that Gyokerres promotes a move to Arsenal on United this summer because he wants to continue playing in the Champions League.
While the Red Devils can always gain their place in the most prestigious club competition in Europe next season by winning the Europa League, Gyokerres seems little willing to bet on their tumultuous form.
Arsenal would have developed a strong interest in Sporting Lisbon Star after the arrival of Andrea Berta as a sports director.
Arsenal’s need for an attacker was too obvious this season, especially after the injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.
When available Havertz has often given a good report of itself and contributed with 15 goals this season in all competitions.
However, we largely think that Arsenal needs an upgrade in advance to help them succeed.
