Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres available for a reduced price of £63m

Premier League clubs have been put on red alert after it emerged that Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres is available for just £63m.

Gyokeres, 26, is one of the most sought-after forwards after two seasons under Reuben Amorimwho starts at Manchester United next week after his final Sporting match against Braga on Sunday.

United, Chelsea and Arsenal have previously been linked with the former Coventry City man, who has scored 23 goals in 17 games this season.

Gyokeres has a release clause of €100 million in his contract with Sporting, which expires in 2028. But it is clear that the Swedish international can leave for a lower fee in the summer.

Quenda could be a target for Amorim

Sporting may accept a bid of around £63million for Gyokeres, who scored a hat-trick in the league 4-1 win over Manchester City on Tuesday evening. It would still represent a huge gain on the £20m paid to Coventry at the start of last season.

“I just made peace with the Sporting fans, so I’m not even going to joke about it,” Amorim said after the win over City when asked about the possibility of taking Gyokeres to Old Trafford.

“Gyokeres is a Sporting player, a great club. He did a lot for the club, he was in the second division (of English football). He just has to stay and finish the season at the club.”
