Revealed: why Atletico Madrid could beat Man United and Arsenal in the race to sign Viktor Gyokerres

Atletico Madrid has a significant advantage over Man United and Arsenal in the race to sign Viktor Gyokerres, according to Spain’s reports.

The Swedish is one of the hottest properties of world football and leads the European scorer tracks with 52 narcotic goals in 48 games, including seven hats.

It was intended to move away from Sporting Lisbon this summer with Man United and Arsenal strongly tilted to sign the attacker.

Gyokerres declared his desire to play in the Champions League – a competition to which Man United will qualify if they were beating Tottenham in the Europa League final on May 21.

A move to Old Trafford would bring together the 26 -year -old player with Ruben Amorim under which he won the title of Premiera Liga last season.

Arsenal is also considered the favorites for the signing of Gyokerres with the side of Mikel Arteta in the desperate need to attack reinforcements.

Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid can benefit from their relationship with the Nike Kit Supplier

However, Mundo Deportivo reports that Atletico Madrid’s relationship with Nike could be the key factor in the future of Gyokerres.

The American retailer is kit suppliers to Los Colchoneros and the Gyokerers sponsor while Man United and Arsenal have their kit provided by Adidas.

Nike renewed their agreement with Atletico Thursday with reports claiming that the agreement was worth a huge 24 million pounds Sterling, which would make it the third best rewarded European club after Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.

As one of their most prominent customers, Nike would be reluctant to see Gyokerers in the kit marked by their rivals, Adidas.

So much so that the Catalan newspaper El Nacional even said that the clothing brand could pay part of the signing of the Lisbon Sportif striker.

Gykerres was widely reported would have a release clause of 85 million pounds sterling. But it is now understood that sport would be willing to accept offers of around 58 million pounds sterling.

It would therefore be a much cheaper acquisition than his compatriot Arsenal Target Alexander Isak, who was estimated at 150 million pounds sterling by Newcastle.
