Viktor Gyokeres' future takes stunning twist as first club makes 'concrete move' to sign Sporting striker

Viktor Gyokeres' future has taken a stunning twist as a club has made a 'concrete move' for the sought-after player.

Gyokeres is one of the most in demand forwards ahead of the summer transfer window reopening.

He's attracting plenty of interest following his incredible goal-scoring exploits, having scored an impressive 53 goals across all competitions this season.

Gyokeres, who joined from Coventry City in the summer of 2023, scored 43 goals last season as he enjoys the most prolific campaign of his career.

Premier League duo Arsenal and Manchester United as well as Paris Saint-Germain are thought to be monitoring his situation ahead of tabling an official bid.

But it appears Man United are leading the chase to acquire his services, according to the latest update.

L'Equipe journalist Loic Tanzi claims Man United 'will accelerate' talks to sign Gyokeres after nearing the completion of the transfer of Matheus Cunha from Wolves.

Per the report, once Wednesday's Europa League final is played, Man United will attempt to finalise a deal for the 26-year-old, who played under Ruben Amorim at Sporting.

They have been keeping tabs on Gyokeres for 'several weeks' and 'remain active' in the market for another forward as they close in on the signing of Cunha.

The Red Devils are the first club to make a 'concrete move' for the Swede amid intense transfer speculation.

Amorim is keen on recruiting a new No.9 ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Rasmus Hojlund, who cost a whopping £72 million from Atalanta, has endured a tough season, having scored just four league goals in 31 games.

Gyokeres could be an ideal fix to Man United's goal-scoring issues considering he has already plied his trade in England, albeit in the Championship.

He scored a combined 38 goals in England's second tier during his time at Coventry.

The star man was also on the books at Brighton but failed to make a single league appearance.

Gyokeres, who cost Sporting just over £20 million, has been ultra-prolific in Portugal, scoring 96 goals in 101 games across all competitions.
