Manchester United are in “concrete talks” to sign Viktor Gyokeres, the talented striker from Sporting Lisbon. Gyokeres has been a standout player under Ruben Amorim, attracting interest from top clubs, including Manchester City. His impressive performance in the 2023/24 season, where he scored 24 goals and registered 4 assists in 21 appearances, has made him one of the most sought-after strikers in European football.
Amorim’s Key Target
Gyokeres is seen as “Amorim’s number one target” and played a crucial role in Sporting’s Primeira Liga title win. His consistent form has earned him accolades, including being named the Primeira Liga Player of the Year. Despite speculation about his future, Amorim is committed to not making any moves too soon, with talks about a possible transfer in the summer of 2025.
Financial Considerations for United
While Manchester United is interested in securing Gyokeres, they may need to offload players to finance the deal. The proposed transfer could cost United around £63 million, making player sales a priority for the club, especially after significant spending in the summer.
Amorim’s Success at Old Trafford
Ruben Amorim’s impact at Manchester United has already been felt, with a dominant 4-0 victory over Everton. The manager’s tactical acumen is drawing attention as he continues to lead the team toward future success.
