Manchester United and Manchester City are already making moves for Viktor Gyökeres. FC Barcelona are reportedly losing ground
Viktor Gyökeres' days at Sporting CP are numbered. The Swede continues to arouse 'passion' in the continent's big clubs and they have already started the fight for his signing in the summer transfer market. FC Barcelona, Arsenal and PSG are some of the teams that have shown a concrete interest in the striker, but Manchester have reportedly taken the lead in the race.
The arrival of Rúben Amorim to the Manchester United bench has put the 'red devils' as big favourites in the betting as the possible destination of the scorer, and according to 'Sky Germany', at Old Trafford they have already started the conversations to get the services of the player, with his new coach as a great asset to tip the balance in his favour.
Manchester City will not sit back and do nothing
However, on the other side they have also taken action to achieve the landing of Gyökeres at the Etihad Stadium. Hugo Viana, City's new sporting director, is pushing to convince the player to join Pep Guardiola, since, like Amorim, he knows the striker's qualities perfectly.
For its part, Barça has lost ground in the bidding, since Robert Lewandowski's continuity next season is practically a fact, leaving the fashionable star without a place in Hansi Flick's team. At the moment, the Nordic has not made any decision regarding his decision and all options are on the table, although the Premier League is gaining strength as the next step in his sporting career.
