The transfer saga of Viktor Gyokeres is given a new element as the club makes a significant decision regarding The future of Sporting sensation Viktor
has been further complicated by the ongoing interest of Arsenal, Manchester United, and Juventus. The 27-year-old has been persistently associated with a departure from his current club, Sporting Lisbon, in 2025. He has had an extraordinary season for the Portuguese club, scoring 52 goals across all competitions.
Arsenal, United, and Juventus have all been cited with an interest in signing the Sweden international. According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, the striker and his representatives rebuffed a contract offer from Juve worth €13 million last week. In contrast, Sporting president Frederico Varandas accused Gyokeres’ camp of “blackmail” in response to allegations that the club had reached a
gentleman’s agreement to sell him for a fixed fee of €60 million, plus €10 million in add-ons. Last Thursday, talkSPORT’s Alex Crook asserted that the striker has informed his friends and family that he anticipates starring for Arsenal next season. However, there is now a rumour that United are preparing a surprise offer to reunite Gyokeres with his former Sporting manager,
Ruben Amorim. According to journalist Sebastien Vidal, the Europa League runners-up are contemplating the possibility of offering winger Antony and €35 million as part of a swap deal to sign Gyokeres. Antony is superfluous to requirements at Old Trafford following his loan stint at Spanish club Real Betis during the latter half of the previous season.
However, the Brazilian has expanded his options following a remarkable period in Spain, during which he scored nine goals in all competitions and assisted Betis in reaching the Conference League final. Nevertheless, Mick Brown, a former United scout, stated to Football Insider that the club is prepared to part ways with Gyokeres and has already initiated the process of assessing alternative players in the event that he transfers to Arsenal.
The 27-year-old’s willingness to relocate to Old Trafford is uncertain, as they do not have access to European football next season. However, Sporting would be required to approve any proposal prior to making a decision.
