MU LEADS THE RACE TO SIGN GYOKERES
Journalist Loic Tanzi of L’Équipe (France) said that MU is currently leading the race to sign Gyokeres. The Old Trafford team is eager to find another quality striker to pair with Cunha, who has reached important agreements to join MU when the 2024/25 season ends.
MU is expected to have to spend 62.5 million pounds to pay Wolves in the Cunha transfer deal. Meanwhile, if Sporting Lisbon wants to release Gyokeres, the “Red Devils” have to spend about 60 million pounds. This is not too big a number, when Sporting Lisbon has reduced the amount compared to the player’s contract termination fee, which is worth 85 million pounds.
WILL GYOKERES JOIN MU?
When the Europa League final between MU and Tottenham (2am, May 22) ends, the “Red Devils” will focus all their efforts on recruiting Gyokeres. Journalist Loic Tanzi revealed that at present, the red half of Manchester is the first team to take “concrete actions” to promote bringing Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon.
Coach Amorim also wants Gyokeres to MU. He used to work with the Swedish striker at Sporting Lisbon, so he understands the class of his former student.
Not only MU is interested in Viktor Gyokeres in the summer transfer window of 2025. Arsenal and PSG also want to have the service of the player born in 1998. But with the current situation, it is clear that MU is the team with the brightest chance of recruiting the goalscorer of Sporting Lisbon.

Hojlund could be liquidated by MU in the summer transfer window of 2025. The Danish player could move to Juventus if not recruited by the Old Trafford team.
