Viktor Gyökeres, 26-year-old striker for Sporting Portugal (contract runs until 2028) and Sweden, has been making a name for himself for some time now with a string of goals and assists. Unsurprisingly, this has attracted rumors, and Paris Saint-Germain is involved. This Tuesday, Sky Sport reports that the Swede has decided not to leave this winter, but rather next summer. With many clubs interested…but not PSG.
“Gyökeres plans to take the next step this summer.”
“The striker is now making an important decision himself: a winter move is not on the cards. A premature departure from Lisbon is not an option for him. This is what Gyökeres has told its management, according to Sky.
However, Gyökeres plans to take the next step this summer. He could then leave Lisbon on a deal worth between €60 and €70 million.
Barcelona, Manchester United and Manchester City are among the clubs expressly interested. Real Madrid and FC Bayern are also keeping a close eye on Gyökeres.”
There’s nothing impossible or certain about it, as the rumors keep piling up without the slightest concrete confirmation. We suspect that Gyökeres may be tempted by a move to a major European club if there are opportunities. We’ll wait and see.
It’s worth noting that no mention has been made of Paris, even though certain media have assured us that there is interest. It’s hard to see things clearly, even if we suspect that nothing will happen this winter. It’s not a transfer that should be on the cards, as Sporting aren’t going to shake up their squad just yet. Just as the striker doesn’t necessarily want to make a move just yet.
