Hugo Ekitike’s shocking claims come to light over the sale of Viktor Gyokeres to Manchester United.
Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting CP wants to move to the Premier League, and Manchester United is in the middle of a transfer storm. There are also rumors that United is interested in a new striker.
Twenty-three of Gyokeres’ 97 goals for Sporting came at the Estádio Jose Alvalade, where he was managed by Ruben Amorim in 2023–24 and the first few months of last season. He is 27 years old. He has become a world-class striker because of his part in winning three awards, all leading up to the current summer transfer window.
Once they got their top No. 10 target Matheus Cunha, Man United switched their attention to adding a confident goal scorer to their team. They have been linked with a risky move for Gyokeres, even though they don’t have Champions League football to offer.
According to Mais Futebol, Arsenal, a team in the same league as Sweden, has now made an offer to buy the Swedish player.
It’s said to be a fixed amount less than €60m (£51m), and there will be bonuses that will make the total amount even higher. This is a lot less than the €80m (£68.1m) that the Portuguese winners are said to be demanding.
It would be very strange if that happened, because sister site football.london had learned that the North London club was making progress on signing Benjamin Sesko, 21, from RB Leipzig and had chosen him as their top target after researching the terms of both his and Gyokeres’ deals.
Still, it might not be as bad as we first thought. According to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany, Man United are now interested in Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike.
Last season, the 22-year-old Frenchman scored 22 goals for the Bundesliga team. He has already been linked to both Liverpool and Chelsea.
