Bad news for Arsenal and Manchester United as Bayern Munich have inquired about a £63m player they were both interested in.

Viktor Gyokeres has been on fire this season, making a name for himself as one of the most prolific strikers in European football. His impressive record of 66 goals in 67 games for Sporting has caught the attention of top clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester United, who are both vying for his signature in the upcoming January transfer window. However, they are not the only ones in the race, as Bayern Munich have also joined the fray.

The Swedish international currently has an £83 million release clause in his contract with Sporting, but sources suggest that the club may be willing to negotiate for a lower fee of £63 million next summer. With the recent departure of manager Ruben Amorim to Manchester United, speculations have arisen that Gyokeres may follow suit, but the forward himself has dismissed these rumors, stating that he is happy at Sporting.

However, it seems that Gyokeres is not short of suitors, with reports indicating that Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have also expressed interest in the talented striker. While they have made enquiries about a possible deal, no further action has been taken at this stage. In fact, it is believed that many top clubs in Europe have also made similar enquiries, impressed by Gyokeres' performances in both the Champions League and Portuguese top flight.

Despite already having a world-class striker in Harry Kane, it seems that Bayern Munich are keen to keep a close eye on Gyokeres' progress and are expected to closely monitor the situation throughout the season. As for Sporting, they may have to come to terms with the fact that they may lose their star player at the end of the campaign, as many top clubs are circling for his signature.

In a recent interview, Amorim, who has just joined Manchester United, was asked if he was interested in bringing Gyokeres with him to Old Trafford. However, he quickly dismissed the idea, stating that the Swede should stay at Sporting until the end of the season. He also made it clear that he has a lot of respect for the club and its fans, and will not make any jokes about potentially poaching their prized possession.

As the race for Gyokeres intensifies, it remains to be seen which club will come out on top in securing his services. But one thing is for sure, the talented striker will have a bright future ahead of him, no matter where he ends up.
