Viktor Gyökeres, 25-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 Thursday, PSG Inside Actus confirms a recent assertion: PSG want to move forward and a transfer of between 60 and 70 million euros would be possible.
“ Gyökeres is a priority to strengthen the Parisian attack.”
“The Viktor Gyökeres dossier at PSG is currently in a state of flux. The Swedish player is a priority for strengthening the Parisian attack. Although his release clause is set at 100 million euros, an agreement would enable him to be recruited for between 60 and 70 million euros.
As for the player’s interest, it seems that Gyökeres is open to a transfer. PSG will have to wait and see, however, as they face competition from English clubs such as Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea.
A solution to avoid paying the clause?
According to what I was told, the Club would only accept the sum of 70 million for the summer mercato (a promise that was made to the Swedish player), but if we want the player for this winter, we’ll have to pay the clause. Unless we lend the player to the Portuguese club for six months.“
It’s possible that Paris is trying its luck and that it really exists, but we’re remaining very cautious. It’s a very high-profile case, with a lot of assertions and very few concrete elements.
Gyökeres is a striker who is making a name for himself at the top level, and he could still improve. There’s enough here to interest Europe’s biggest clubs. The competition looks set to be fierce. It’s hard to say who might be the favorite.
The Premier League is a tempting option. PSG also has its arguments. It also already has Gonçalo Ramos as a great striker who should grow. Cohabitation would be surprising.
For the moment, the Swede is far from Paris. That could change, but there’s nothing to suggest a transfer. Apart from a price that might be more affordable than the final clause. Except that this would be the case for all clubs, and we suspect that the amount could quickly rise.
