Viktor Gyokeres is one of the most coveted strikers in Europe after netting a hat-trick against Manchester City on Wednesday night
Manchester United have been given a huge boost to their hopes of signing Viktor Gyokeres. The 26-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford following the appointment of Ruben Amorim , who'll start his new role on November 11.
According to The Telegraph, Gyokeres has a €100m release clause in his contract with Sporting, but he'll be allowed to leave for a lower fee in the summer. The report states that the Portuguese outfit could accept a bid worth around £63m – which would still represent a hefty profit on the £20m they paid Coventry City at the start of last season.
"So yes, that’s probably why there was simply no move. But that’s what Sporting thinks I’m worth, and then you have to respect that. I enjoy myself very much in Sporting and can’t complain about anything, so it’s absolutely no problem for me to stay. Of course, you aim to test other leagues and a higher level, but I have no stress."
While Gyokeres would be an excellent signing for United, The Telegraph add that Amorim would love to work with Geovany Quenda in the future. The report states that the 17-year-old winger has been 'extensively scouted' by English clubs as he continues to impress for Sporting.
