At just 26 years old, Viktor Gyökeres, the Swedish international striker for Sporting Portugal, has become one of the most sought-after players in Europe, catching the attention of top clubs like PSG.
Despite his stellar form—marked by goals and assists—RMC Sport revealed on Saturday that PSG has made a definitive decision regarding Gyökeres: they will not pursue his transfer.
A Missed Opportunity for PSG?
With uncertainties looming over PSG’s attacking lineup, such as Randal Kolo Muani’s struggles to adapt and ongoing rumors about other targets like Gonçalo Ramos, Gyökeres could have been a strategic fit. His blend of mobility and physicality seems tailor-made for Luis Enrique’s tactical approach, making the club’s decision all the more intriguing.
Sporting Portugal Stands Firm
Sporting remains resolute in keeping its star forward. Since his €20 million move from Coventry City in 2023, Gyökeres’ market value has skyrocketed. The Lisbon-based club is unlikely to let him go without a fight.
Manchester United Eyes the Prize
Meanwhile, Manchester United is reportedly moving closer to securing the striker. Ruben Amorim, Sporting’s coach, previously vowed to retain Gyökeres but may reconsider given United’s pressing need for a reliable goal scorer.
The Gyökeres saga is far from over, with Europe’s elite keeping a watchful eye on his next move.
