According to recent reports, it seems that Manchester United is feeling confident about their chances of acquiring Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP. The striker, who hails from Sweden, has been making waves in the football world and has caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs, including United's cross-town rivals Manchester City, as well as Arsenal and Chelsea.
However, it seems that Gyokeres has his heart set on a move to Old Trafford, and United is now ramping up their efforts to make it happen. Florian Plettenberg, a transfer expert for Sky Sports based in Germany, has revealed that United has entered initial concrete talks for a deal with Gyokeres. This means that the Red Devils are fully involved in the race for his signature, although they may need to make some sales in order to make it happen.
Meanwhile, City has also intensified their efforts to sign Gyokeres in recent days, making the competition for his signature even fiercer. And it's not hard to see why - Gyokeres has an incredible record of 67 goals and 19 assists in just 71 games for Sporting.
Despite United's confidence, former United striker Louis Saha has some reservations about the potential signing. He believes that Harry Kane would be a more suitable addition to the team, as Gyokeres may not thrive under the pressure and expectations of playing for a top-flight club like United.
"It might be surprising, but I don't think Man Utd should go after Viktor Gyokeres," Saha shared with BoyleSports, a platform that offers Premier League odds. "I think he is a good player in an incredible run of form, even in the Champions League, but he won't get the same luxuries as he does at Sporting. Sporting are not under the same pressure as Manchester United, it's a completely different animal."
Despite the differing opinions, one thing is for sure - the race for Gyokeres' signature is heating up, and it remains to be seen which club will come out on top. Will it be United, City, or one of the other interested parties? Only time will tell.
