Viktor Gyokeres breaks his silence on transfer plans this summer after 'already deciding' his next move

He has an "objective" in mind.

Viktor Gyokeres has outlined his transfer "objective" as he continues to be linked with a big-money move.

The 26-year-old striker, who has scored 26 goals in 22 games for Sporting CP this season, has already made up his mind on which club he wants to join in the future, according to reports.

So far, the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Barcelona have been linked but the favourites to sign Gyokores are Manchester United.

In fact, Gyokeres wants a move to Old Trafford, according to The Sun, who claims he has 'his heart set' on a move to the Premier League and a reunion with former Sporting boss Ruben Amorim.

The Swede is said to have a hefty €100 million [£83m] release clause in his contract at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, but Sporting are 'likely' to do business for around €70 million [£58m].

Gyokeres has yet to publicly name a club that would take his interest but earlier this week, he gave a telling interview after being awarded the Guldbollen – an award given to the best male Swedish player in Europe.

"I don’t play in the Premier League like others do, but I have done the best I can where I am," he told Marca. "I also showed it in Europe, in the Champions League and with the national team, so it was not just in Portugal."

When prodded about his future, Gyokeres refused to rule out a move.

"We will see," he added. "There are many rumours circulating, but we are in the middle of the season and there are still many months left. We will see when the time comes what will happen."

The Swede was also asked where he sees himself playing in four years time, at 30. He replied: "Playing for one of the best teams in Europe. That is the objective."

Ruben Amorim has already said he won't try to sign Gyokeres in January.

Before joining United, the Portuguese coach was asked about the prospect of reuniting with the striker in Manchester.

"No, no, no," he replied. "I cannot be funny with that in this moment. It was tough for me to leave, if I start joking about that with Gyokeres, I’ll have problems. This is my city, this is my country, I will respect."

He added: "Viktor has to stay until the end of the season and then his life is going, maybe, somewhere else."
