Gyokeres Reconsiders Man Utd Move as Arsenal Talks Hit Snag

Football news

Reports previously indicated that the Swedish forward Viktor Gyokeres had rejected Manchester United`s interest multiple times and was not keen on joining his former Sporting manager Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford.

Gyokeres was reportedly prioritizing a move to Arsenal and had been in discussions with them. However, no agreement has been reached, as the Gunners appear hesitant to meet Sporting`s asking price of £69 million ($93m).

His relationship with Sporting seems strained, as he has not reported for pre-season training, signaling a strong desire to leave Portugal and move to the Premier League. Given this situation, the 27-year-old is reportedly considering reopening talks with Manchester United.

He is said to be `taking a second look` at United, where Amorim is still searching for a reliable striker, especially with ongoing questions surrounding current forwards like Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.

Arsenal are still potential suitors, and other clubs like Atletico Madrid and Juventus have also been linked with Gyokeres. Unlike United, these clubs could offer European football next season (2025-26).
