He is deeply interested in Man City and Man United.
Author of 18 stratospheric months with Sporting Portugal, Viktor Gyökeres seems destined to leave Lisbon next summer at the latest. Manchester United and Manchester City are ready to welcome the Swedish striker.
Among the revelations in Europe last season with his 43 goals in 50 matches with Sporting Portugal, Viktor Gyökeres is clearly not just a flash in the pan, or the wonder of a season.
The ultra-prolific Swedish striker is off to an even better start, managing to score 24 goals in 21 games with his club since the start of the 2024-2025 financial year. Nobody does better than him, so obviously, such statistics challenge the more upscale teams.
After MU, City gets involved
We could almost consider it an anomaly that Gyökeres remained in Lisbon this summer, but the striker of Hungarian ancestry never felt sorry for himself, he who at 26 years old, revealed himself late, after two very good seasons at Coventry City passed under a lot of radar, but not those of Sporting. The big leap should, barring any surprises, come next summer for the Swedish international with 15 goals in 26 caps.
In addition to rumors sending him to reunite with his ex-coach Ruben Amorim at Manchester United, Sky Sport Germany understands that Manchester City, via its future sporting director Hugo Viana (stationed at Sporting until the end of the season), is also experiencing a strong interest in the Stockholm native. For an association with Joshua Zirkzee or Rasmus Højlund on one side, or with Erling Haaland on the other? In anticipation of a departure? It's too early to know.
Gyökeres will be able to leave for a price lower than his clause
As for the amount of a possible transfer, Gyökeres has a release clause of 100 million euros, but an agreement reached with his managers allows him to leave for a lower amount. The two Manchester clubs should offer 60 to 70 million euros for the player linked to Sporting until June 2028. But the horizon of the summer transfer window is still very far away.
