Manchester United have reportedly been linked with a move for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, a target for Arsenal.
A report from Fichajes has claimed that Manchester United United are in the race to sign Viktor Gyokere, a target for Arsenal. The striker is likely to cost around €100 million. However, Manchester United are unwilling to pay that kind of money for the 25-year-old, which could give Arsenal an advantage in the transfer race.
Recent reports have claimed that Arsenal are willing to pay €100 million for the talented striker. The Swedish striker has been outstanding for the Portuguese club since joining them from Coventry City at the start of the season.
Viktor Gyokeres has 36 goals and 14 assists in all competitions, and he has firmly established himself as one of the best goalscorers in Europe right now.
Viktor Gyokeres is ready for the Premier League
A move to Manchester United or Arsenal will be an exciting opportunity for him. He will want to compete at a high level and push for major trophies. Manchester United and Arsenal could certainly provide him with that opportunity.
The 25-year-old would be a major upgrade on Gabriel Jesus, who has not been able to score goals consistently this season. At Manchester United, Viktor Gyokeres could share the goalscoring burden with Rasmus Hojlund. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Gyokeres Will Cost Big
He has a €100 million release clause in his contract and a long-term contract with the Portuguese club. Sporting CP are unlikely to let him leave for cheap, and any club hoping to sign him will have to shell out a premium. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United decide to move on to other targets after refusing to pay up for him.
There is no doubt that they need to bring in a quality goalscorer in the summer, and it remains to be seen who they end up with. Manchester United have other priorities they will need to address during the summer transfer window. Therefore, it is no surprise that they are unwilling to spend €100 million on one striker.
