Ruben Amorim had the opportunity to leave during the summer of 2024. At the end of an almost perfect season with Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese technician received XXL offers from all over Europe. But he preferred to stay and try to build an even bigger project. Finally, in the fall, Manchester United's appeal was louder than anything. With death in his soul, he said goodbye to Sporting to embrace the North of England. But before leaving, Ruben Amorim made a promise: he will not touch the talents of Sporting Lisbon. And in particular to Viktor Gyokeres, Swedish striker whom he revealed to the general public.
-Gyokeres will not go to Manchester United
Despite Manchester United's offensive needs, Ruben Amorim refrains from considering Viktor Gyokeres as an option. However, the two men appreciate each other beyond the field and form an exceptional duo. The Swede also indicated that he had chosen Sporting for Amorim. And that last summer, despite crazy offers, he stayed for his mentor.
PSG wants to take advantage
This promise from Ruben Amorim is good for other European teams. If Manchester United cannot move for Viktor Gyokeres, the field is open to try to convince the Swedish striker with 76 goals in 79 meetings with Sporting Lisbon… A clause of 100 million euros is included in his contract. For Luis Campos, who has been courting him for over a year now, this is a case for the 2025 summer transfer window. All that remains is to convince Luis Enrique and that's it…
