The 'bidding' for Viktor Gyökeres promises to be very close. However, Manchester City and Manchester United are said to have the upper hand in the 'race'
Viktor Gyökeres is one of the most sought-after strikers in the world. The Swede has established himself as one of the most lethal strikers on the continent and Sporting CP already assumes he will leave at the end of the season. However, his future remains a question mark, as several of the big European clubs are closely following him and are involved in a very tight 'bidding'.
FC Barcelona, Manchester City, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are the main candidates to sign the striker, although in the Premier League they would have an advantage in the 'race'. The arrival of Rúben Amorim to the Old Trafford bench is a significant factor in tipping the balance in favour of the 'red devils', although on the other side they also have a lot to say.

And although United are confident that Amorim's presence will be decisive in the Swede's final decision, Hugo Viana's arrival at the Etihad Stadium as sporting director is an important argument in favour of the 'citizens', since it was the Portuguese who brought Gyökeres to Lisbon from Coventry City in the summer of 2023.
According to 'SPORT', the two Mancunian clubs would be willing to pay up to 75 million euros for the Nordic and, today, they appear as the big favourites to add him to their ranks. For its part, Barça will wait in the shadows for its opportunity, with the peace of mind of having in its squad the best '9' of today, whose contract is about to be renewed for another year.
