A goalscorer who makes Europe go round. Since the start of the season, Viktor Gyokeres has only scored. With his high-level performances, the Sporting Portugal center forward is turning the heads of several European big names. Manchester United, Manchester City, FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are on the alert for the Swedish international. A serial scorer who does the SCP's business. However, Olympique Lyonnais came close to making a huge deal by refusing to recruit him for 15 million euros.
Olympique Lyonnais refused Viktor Gyokeres
While still at Coventry, Viktor Gyokeres was offered to several, including Olympique Lyonnais. The one who makes the biggest European names salivate has been rejected by OL, we learn this Tuesday from Foot Mercato. His CV, although on Bruno Cheyrou's desk, did not convince the former head of recruitment of Les Gones. The former midfielder decided not to pursue this proposal two years ago, when the Swedish international only cost 15 million euros. Considering the player he is becoming, Olympique Lyonnais can very well take a beating.
