Victor Gyokeres looks set to bid farewell to Sporting CP by next transfer window

Swedish striker Victor Gyokeres, who scored a phenomenal hat-trick against Premier League giants Manchester City, has become a highly sought-after player among top clubs across Europe. With significant interest building, it seems he may be on the move from Sporting CP in the upcoming transfer window. 

Manchester United's complicated relationship with HCM Sports Management is poised to jeopardize Ruben Amorim's chances of bringing Viktor Gyokeres on board, as recent reports indicate.

Following his impressive brace against FK Bodø/Glimt, Rasmus Hojlund confidently stated that the new manager's 3-4-3 system aligns perfectly with his style of play, having thrived in a similar formation during his time at Atalanta. The Dane’s physicality and pace are promising assets that could enhance Amorim's strategy, particularly during transitions.

On the other hand, Gyokeres exemplifies the ideal striker for Amorim's system. The Sweden international not only possesses the strength to challenge centre-backs effectively but also boasts an impressive conversion rate. This season, the young striker has netted 24 goals across all competitions, drawing the attention of top clubs.

Paris Saint Germain also in race to sign Gyokeres 

As per TEAMtalk, Manchester United is in a fiercely competitive race with Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle United for Viktor Gyokeres. The Sporting CP star is the top priority for the French giants, while Newcastle is eyeing him as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak, who is drawing significant interest from other clubs.

United are set to compete with two clubs to bring Gyokeres back under Amorim, who maintains a rapport with the striker. The primary challenge, however, lies in their relationship with the player's representative. While Gyokeres has a €100m release clause, he is likely to be available for approximately €70m, as Sporting is open to negotiation.

Chelsea is the newest to join the race for Gyokeres 

Chelsea has been closely monitoring Gyokeres for months and is poised to make a decisive move to bring him to Stamford Bridge this January.
