Manchester United are now on the verge of striking a major agreement with Sporting CP for prolific Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres, according to emerging reports.
The Red Devils have made significant progress in negotiations, with the proposed deal now closely matching the financial terms previously discussed with Arsenal. As it stands, United are pulling ahead in the race leaving the Gunners scrambling to respond.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Gyökeres is now hanging by a thread, as their delay in finalizing terms may have opened the door for United to hijack the transfer. With manager Rúben Amorim eager to reunite with his former frontman, the momentum has clearly shifted toward Old Trafford.
Gyökeres, who had a sensational season with Sporting, is regarded as one of Europe’s most complete strikers combining physicality, work rate, and clinical finishing. His potential move to United could be the centerpiece of Amorim’s attacking rebuild.
A deal is not done yet, but with both clubs deep in talks and Gyökeres open to the move, an official announcement could be imminent.
This developing saga could mark a huge blow to Arsenal and a massive coup for Manchester United if they get it over the line.
