The race to win the signature of striker Viktor Gyokeres has just had a surprise turning point when Liverpool was the latest team, besides Arsenal, MU and Juventus.
According to the British press, Liverpool is seriously interested in Gyokeres, the Swedish striker had an impressive 2024/25 season with 54 goals and 13 assists for Sporting
As a result, he became one of the top welcome goals in Europe in this summer. Earlier, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Viktor Gyokeres personally informed the Sporting President, Frederico Varandas on decisions to definitely leave the club.
The notice from Romano said: “Viktor Gyokeres personally informed Sporting's Varandas President about his decision to leave. He had no intention of playing for the club. Gyokeres wanted to open a new chapter in his career.”
Liverpool is said to be trying to improve the quality of attack, especially when Darwin Nunez is likely to leave Anfield, with Napoli as a potential destination. Other attacking players like Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo are also being contacted to leave.
In the opposite direction, Diogo Jota has just had a unpleasant season but it is likely that Mohamed Salah still shows the ability to score regularly, but coach Arne Slot cannot ignore the age of the Egyptian star.
In addition to Gyokeres, the Anfield team is also thought to be an eye on Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike. The appearance of Liverpool in this race promises to create a fierce competition with Juventus, Arsenal and Manchester United. Now, people wait to see which team will pay nearly 100 million euros that Sporting Lisbon requires. This is also the number that makes it difficult for Gyokeres and the host club to look at each other.
