Juventus has sent official offer to Viktor Gyokeres agent

Manchester United face stiff competition in the pursuit of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres. The 27-year-old Swede is attracting major attention as Europe’s elite clubs circle, hoping to secure his signature before the summer window closes.

Juventus have tabled a lucrative £11 million per year offer, equivalent to around £211,000 per week. The Italian giants want to pounce on the growing uncertainty surrounding Gyokeres future according to Record and Corriere dello Sport.

However, their plans hinge on the sale of Dusan Vlahovic, who remains reluctant to accept a wage reduction. Despite Vlahovic scoring 15 goals this season, Juventus are prioritising a new wage structure and may need to part ways with him before funding Gyokeres’ deal.

Shifting landscape in the transfer race

Manchester United, once seen as outside contenders, are now firmly in the mix. Arsenal initially led the chase due to their Champions League credentials.

Reports suggested Gyokeres favored a move to north London, especially with top-tier European football on offer. However, Arsenal have cooled their interest due to Sporting’s firm stance on his £68 million release clause.

Gyokeres’ representatives claim a gentleman’s agreement would allow him to leave for just under £60 million. But with Arsenal exploring alternatives like Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, the striker’s future is now wide open.

United’s interest has grown, although they are also monitoring Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo. Tottenham Hotspur have joined that race as well. With multiple moving pieces, Manchester United must act decisively if they hope to sign the prolific Swede.

Gyokeres scored 29 goals for Sporting last season and remains one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards. His power, finishing ability, and movement make him an ideal fit for Erik ten Hag’s rebuild.

If United want to land him, they must be willing to meet Sporting’s valuation soon—before another contender seals the deal.
