Gyokeres' Paradox

Viktor Gyokeres is in the spotlight with transfer rumours linking him with top Premier League clubs.

According to A Bola , Gyokeres is ready to change his mind about the team he wants to join in the summer transfer window. Initially, the Swede was linked with Arsenal and Manchester United. The 27-year-old striker himself also wants to join a Premier League club.

However, with Arsenal and Manchester United indifferent, Gyokeres's move to the Premier League has become difficult. According to The Guardian , Arsenal's priority target is RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are trying to recruit Bryan Mbeumo, and Gyokeres is not the priority target of the "Red Devils" at the moment. Therefore, Gyokeres is considering other teams in this summer transfer window.

Juventus, Dortmund or even Real Madrid could be potential destinations for the Swede. However, Marca revealed that Real Madrid have ruled out the possibility of signing Gyokeres, although the player's representatives are said to have contacted the Spanish Royal team's leadership.

This put Gyokeres in a difficult position, because the player put pressure on the Sporting CP leadership. According to Record , Gyokeres declared that he would not return to training if the Portuguese club did not create conditions for him to leave.

Initially, the two parties were said to have had an informal verbal agreement, with Sporting willing to let Gyokeres go for a fee of €70m. But now Sporting want to collect €100m, the same as his release clause.

Varandas has denied any agreement exists, adding to the tensions between the two sides. The Swede, who is contracted to Sporting CP until June 2028, impressed last season, scoring 54 goals in 52 appearances for the Portuguese side.

However, big clubs in Europe are not willing to spend too much money on this striker. At the age of 27, Gyokeres is an investment that is unlikely to bring future profits for big clubs. In addition, the fact that he has only shined in the Portuguese football environment also makes many big teams skeptical about his ability.

Xabi Alonso's Real was held to a draw by Saudi Arabia's representative. In the early morning of June 19, Real had a 1-1 draw with Al Hilal in Group H, FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
