Even without the Champions League, Manchester United remained a favorite to get Victor Gyokeres

Gilabola.com – Manchester United is reportedly getting closer to the certainty of Viktor Gyokeres’ transfer from Sporting Lisbon when Ruben Amorim wants to continue to strengthen the attack line of his squad.

According to various reports, the British club is called the main favorite to get the Swedish striker’s signature. Some Premier League giants such as Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are also said to be interested, but United’s position is considered superior.

Betting books like Bet365 even put Manchester United as a team with the biggest opportunity to recruit Gyokeres, with ODDS only 2/7.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are in second place with Odds 7/1, although the latest news says that they are more focused on the transfer of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.

Since moving from Coventry City to Sporting Lisbon in July 2023, Viktor Gyokeres has shown extraordinary performance. The 27 -year -old striker has scored 97 goals in 102 appearances, making it one of the deadliest attackers in Europe.

This season alone, he has packed 39 goals and 8 assists in 33 matches, helping Sporting winning the league and trophy, unfortunately he only narrowly lost to Kylian Mbappe to want European golden shoes.

It was stated that gyokeres had an informal agreement with sporting to move if there was an offer above Rp 1.3 trillion, even though the official release clause reached Rp 1.86 trillion. Manchester United reportedly had taken an initial approach to explore potential agreements.

Besides United and Arsenal, several other clubs such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, and even Nottingham Forest are also said to be interested, although their opportunities are considered smaller.

Atletico Madrid is the only club outside England that is included in the list of possible Gyokeres goals, but they are not actively chasing the attacker at this stage.

Fabrizio Romano previously revealed that if Manchester United won the Europa League and qualified for the Champions League, then they will get 99 percent of Gyokeres.

However, even without European football, it seems Red Devil Still have a great opportunity to recruit Swedish strikers, who are still open to reunite with his former manager, Ruben Amorim.

Bad goal productivity last season made Amorim focus on overhauling the front lines of his team this summer, and after the transfer of Matheus Cunha, then they chased Bryan Mbeumo and Victor Gyokeres.
