Fabrizio Romano on Viktor Gyokeres and Manchester United
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has given an update on whether Viktor Gyokeres is moving to Manchester United, and it is anticipated that the striker will depart Sporting CP for a sum far lower than his release clause.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Since departing Coventry City for Sporting CP in 2023, Gyokeres has grown to become one of the most lethal forwards in European football. With 80 goals scored and 24 assists in just 89 games, the Swede’s record in Portugal is hardly rated.
Ruben Amorim, the current manager of Manchester United, was in Lisbon when the majority of those attacking returns occurred.
Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have both failed to impress thus far, and the Red Devils are searching for a new striker at the end of the season.
Gyokeres’ €100 million release clause
However, the Red Devils would find Gyokeres’ €100 million release clause difficult given Man Utd’s restricted transfer budget. They would need to offload some squad players to make space and money for the signing.
However, reliable reporter Fabrizio Romano has reported on his YouTube channel that Gyokeres can indeed leave Sporting for a significantly reduced amount.
Fabrizio Romano comments
“For Viktor Gyokeres you should not follow the release clause anymore,” said Romano.
“The release clause is €100m, that’s the official contract, but there is a pact between the player, agents and Sporting directly with the president to let Viktor Gyokeres leave in the summer for a different transfer fee.
In other words, the January fee of €100 million (£83.9 million) will be different in the summer to honor the player who agreed to stay at Sporting for one more season (2024–25) and to stay in January even though Ruben Amorim left.
“It will be a package worth around €65m-€75m (£54.5m-£62.9m) based on payment terms, add-ons and all these sorts of things.”
“We had many reports about Manchester United and the appreciation of Ruben Amorim for Viktor Gyokeres is obviously there,” continued Romano.
“He loves Gyokeres and Gyokeres loves Amorim, for sure. But for Man Utd we say it for [Victor] Osimhen and for Gyokeres too – it depends on the budget, how much they can invest, how much they can spend and what happens with European football.
“That’s really important to understand what’s next for Man Utd in terms of summer spending and then Amorim has been very clear: sell players to bring in new players.”
Manchester United is currently stuck in 14th position in the Premier League
Ahead of this weekend’s games, Manchester United is currently stuck in 14th position in the Premier League standings. They will not be able to qualify for any European competition by league place, barring a miracle.
Man Utd is one of the bookies’ favorites to win the Europa League, which will guarantee participation into the Champions League the following season.
First up is a difficult-looking draw with Real Sociedad in the Round of 16, even though Manchester United has previously managed a convincing 1-1 draw in the away leg. Man Utd will be optimistic about their chances of making it to the quarterfinals because the rematch will take place at home.
In order to get Amorim and Gyokeres back together, United will need to win the Europa League and secure UCL participation.
