Manchester United’s pursuit of sports CP striker Viktor Gyoker has been picking up the pace, with manager Ruben Amorim eager to reunite with the prolific Swedish forward.
In an exceptional way, Gyokeres has scored 52 goals and has provided 12 assists in 48 appearances this season.
However, financial constraints and competition with other clubs pose challenges to potential relocations.
According to Transfer News expert Fabrizio Romano, Man United is interested in signing Gyoker, but the Financial Fair Play budget determines whether Amorim can get his wish.
The Red Devils are desperate for a new frontman this season after the failures of Rasmus Hozilund and Joshua Zilkies.
Man United may struggle to buy a gyoker
As United are about to add more firepower to their attacks, they must consider their financial situation before thinking about a new signature.
Romano told Givemesport:
“No decision has been made so far. Not only Man United, but Arsenal remains enthusiastic. For Man United, the budget for financial fair play is important to understand how much they can spend on strikers.”
Gyokeres’ release clause is reportedly about 100 million euros, but Sporting CP could accept offers in the range of 60-70 million euros.
United’s ability to meet this rating depends on ensuring Champions League qualifications and generating funds through player sales.
United faces competition with Arsenal
Arsenal has also expressed interest in Gyoker, suggesting that the report is preparing a competitive package to secure his services.
The Gunners’ needs for trustworthy strikers and Champions League status could make them an attractive destination for forwards.
United’s interest in Gyoker is strong, but the financial constraints and competition with clubs like Arsenal complicate the potential relocation.
The outcome may depend on United’s ability to secure Champions League football.
Goalkeeper Andre Onana is reportedly offloaded in terms of what United is trying to sell.
