Manchester United have made a strong entrance into the bidding for Viktor Gyökeres. The player, for his part, left the door open to his arrival at Old Trafford

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Manchester United have decided to radically change the dynamics of the institution. The 'red devils' dispensed with the services of Erik ten Hag after a catastrophic start to the season and announced Rúben Amorim as their new coach, which was a resounding blow for the Mancunians in their quest to return to the top of football after several years in ostracism.

The arrival of the Portuguese coach to the Old Trafford bench, as expected, has put the Red Devils as one of the main candidates to secure the services of Viktor Gyökeres. The Swedish striker has been one of the great revelations of the season at Sporting CP, where he has already scored 20 goals in 16 games, and will be one of the most coveted pieces of the next summer market.

Gyökeres does not close the door to United

The transfer of the striker would be valued at 70 million euros, an acceptable figure for a United that would be gaining ground in the 'race' for the sensational striker of the Portuguese league. And in a statement collected by the journalist Fabrizio Romano, Gyökeres did not close the door to his possible landing at the Theatre of Dreams.

"Going with Amorim to Manchester United? I don't know. I'm here. As you can see, I enjoy myself at Sporting. It's not something I think about. I'm sad with Amorim's departure and we all wish him the best"

These words have set off alarm bells in Barcelona, ​​since FC Barcelona is one of the teams most interested in incorporating the Swede into its squad as a short or medium-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski. However, the presence of the Premier League in the bidding (City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are also following the player) 'threatens' their options to reinforce their forward line with the Nordic striker.
