Real Madrid continues to work on planning its squad for the upcoming season and already has a new name on its radar to strengthen its offensive line: Viktor Gyökeres. The Swedish forward, who is having a brilliant season at Sporting de Portugal, has been valued at 70 million euros, a significantly lower amount than his initial 100 million euro release clause.

This new price is not random. As revealed by 'A Bola', the striker reached an informal agreement with the Lisbon board at the beginning of the season: if he managed to score 20 goals throughout the season, his departure would be facilitated with a reduction in the cost of his signing. Gyökeres has more than met his target, and the club has kept its word, opening the door to a possible departure this summer.

Competition from the Premier League

Real Madrid, aware of the need to incorporate a reliable forward in the medium term, sees this market opportunity positively. However, they won't be alone in the race. Arsenal, also in search of a similar profile to boost their attacking potency, is ahead and currently considered the frontrunner to secure the services of the Swedish goalscorer.

The battle is on. Real Madrid will have to decide whether to firmly pursue Gyökeres or leave the path clear for the Gunners. What is clear is that the player, with his performance and ambition, has managed to place his name among the most sought-after in the upcoming transfer market.
