Striker Viktor Gyokeres, who is becoming a hot name in the transfer market this summer, is said to be "reconsidering" the possibility of moving to Manchester United, despite having previously rejected the Old Trafford team three times.
According to information from Correio da Manha (Portugal), the reason the Swedish striker once firmly rejected the "Red Devils" was because he did not want to reunite with coach Ruben Amorim, who led him at Sporting Lisbon and is currently in the hot seat at MU. However, in the context of not reaching an agreement with Arsenal - the team he has prioritized for many weeks - the 27-year-old player may change his mind.
Talks between Arsenal and Sporting are ongoing, but have stalled over the Portuguese club’s high asking price of £69 million ($93 million). The Gunners are reportedly unwilling to meet that figure, leading to a prolonged standoff. Meanwhile, Gyokeres has made his frustration clear by missing pre-season training with Sporting.
Correio da Manha added that Gyokeres is keen on a move to the Premier League. The 27-year-old could invite Manchester United back to the negotiating table.
Manchester United, who are lacking a true striker, are said to be keen to strengthen their attack. Despite having Rasmus Hojlund and having just recruited Joshua Zirkzee, both of these names have yet to show consistency in the Premier League. In that context, Gyokeres, who scored 43 goals for Sporting in the 2024-2025 season, is considered the ideal option for the attack.
In addition to Arsenal and Man United, two European giants, Atletico Madrid and Juventus, are also keeping an eye on Gyokeres. Both clubs have a place in the Champions League next season, something that Manchester United cannot provide, and is also a factor that could influence the Swedish striker's final decision.
Gyokeres' future remains up in the air. However, with Arsenal yet to finalise the deal, United could re-enter the race if they come up with an offer that is both financially appealing and a role in the squad. The parties involved are all in a waiting mode, and the Sporting star is expected to be the next "blockbuster" to explode in the summer transfer window of 2025.
