Sporting Lisbon has taken a firm stance regarding the future of their star forward, Viktor Gyokeres. The Lisbon club has set a minimum price of 75 million euros for his transfer in the upcoming summer transfer window. According to information from the newspaper Record, the Portuguese entity has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the Swedish striker to facilitate his departure at the end of the season, provided this valuation is respected.
Gyokeres's performance has not gone unnoticed by some of Europe's top teams. Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and FC Barcelona have shown interest in acquiring his services. However, Sporting's board has ruled out any moves in January, prioritizing the team's stability until the end of the season.
The competition for his signing will be fierce
Among the interested clubs, Bayern seems to be the most determined. The Bavarian side is looking to strengthen its attack and sees Gyokeres as an ideal piece to complement Harry Kane up front. Meanwhile, Manchester United, despite having Rúben Amorim as coach, has not completely convinced the player to make the leap to the Premier League. At the same time, Barcelona is also keeping an eye on his situation, searching for alternatives to rejuvenate its forward line given Robert Lewandowski's age.
At 25 years old, Gyokeres is establishing himself as one of the standout forwards in European football, and Sporting knows they have a gem for which they will not budge a single euro less than the valuation. The Portuguese are aware of the interest their forward is generating among the biggest clubs on the planet, and even though losing him would be tough in football terms, the money raised could greatly benefit the club.
