Viktor Gyokeres, a target for Manchester United, has reportedly expressed his want to leave Sporting Lisbon this summer.

Gyokeres has been strongly linked to a move to the Red Devils, and since his old manager Ruben Amorim took over at Old Trafford, the likelihood of a deal has increased.

According to reports, Amorim persuaded the Swedish forward to remain at the Portuguese team for the previous campaign in order to win back-to-back league titles.

Portuguese-language retailer Gyokeres, the record state, has stated that he wants to depart this summer.

With the heading “Exit in glory,” the newspaper took the lead in covering his wish and conveyed his intention to achieve the goal of winning another domestic title.

Sporting is presently three points ahead of rivals Benfica, who have played one fewer game, in a fiercely contested title race.

Sporting leads Porto by six points, although they are still within touching distance at the top.

This season, Gyokeres has scored 37 goals in 39 games in all competitions for Sporting, including 25 goals in 23 league games.

Sporting ended a run of three straight league ties on Monday thanks to two goals from the 26-year-old in a 3-1 victory over Estoril Praia.

Even though he only joined Sporting in the summer of 2023, his goals have put him three goals away from ranking among the team’s top 20 goal scorers ever.

Gyokeres, who cost £20 million to come from Championship team Coventry, has scored an incredible 80 goals in 89 games for the team.

According to the record, Man United is one of the teams still interested in the Swedish international.

According to the site, Arsenal and Chelsea, two other Premier League teams, may compete with the Red Devils.

The forward has reportedly drawn interest from Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and PSG.

Despite having an £85 million release clause in his contract, Gyokeres may be able to depart Sporting for about £68.5 million, according to sources earlier this year.

According to reports earlier this week, Man United’s chances of persuading the prolific striker to join could be harmed by their probable failure to qualify for the Champions League.

Since then, the Red Devils have been connected to Jean-Phillippe Mateta, a striker for Crystal Palace who is currently in form.
