Viktor Gyokeres is one of the best players in the world, and he has been outstanding for Sporting CP this past season.
The Swedish International scored 53 goals and picked up 14 assists in all competitions. There is no doubt that he would be a major upgrade on Manchester United’s current options if they manage to get the deal done. According to Fichajes, they are ready to pay £60 million in order to sign the player.
Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join that will be quite exciting for Gyokeres. It will be interesting to see if the Portuguese outfit are willing to accept the offer when it is presented.
They will look to recoup as much as possible for Gyokeres. The player is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League. He could help Manchester United bounce back strongly and fight for Champions League qualification next season. They have been quite disappointing in recent seasons, and they will look to get back to the top of English football once again.
Signing a reliable goal-scorer could make a huge difference for them in the final third. Gyokeres has proven himself in Portugal, and there is no doubt that he has the ability to succeed in English football as well. He has played in England before with Coventry City, and he has the attributes to adapt to the physicality of English football.
Gyokeres has been linked with other English clubs as well, and it remains to be seen whether any other club is willing to come forward with an offer to sign him. The Portuguese outfit will look to recall as much as possible for him, and they will certainly hope that there is a bidding war for his signature.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Gyokeres will want to compete at the highest level, but Manchester United will not be able to provide him with Champions League football next season. That could be a dealbreaker when it comes to signing top-quality players.
