Viktor Gyokeres: Arsenal and Man Utd target in reported dispute with club

Sporting Lisbon are reportedly facing a Viktor Gyokeres rebellion as the key forward feels betrayed over a broken promise.

Viktor Gyokeres has reportedly threatened to go on strike at Sporting Lisbon to secure a transfer away from the club this summer. 

The Sweden international enjoyed an impressive 2024-25 season, scoring 54 goals and providing 13 assists in 52 appearances.

Price dispute for Gyokeres emerges

With Manchester United and Arsenal expressing interest in signing him, Gyokeres has an £85 million release clause in his contract; however, Sporting may be willing to let him go for around £70 million. 

According to Record sources, Gyokeres feels betrayed by the club and has informed them he will not play again unless a transfer is finalised. 

The Red Devils are considered frontrunners for the 27-year-old, largely due to his connection with head coach Ruben Amorim. 

The Manchester giants, linked with Victor Osimhen, are searching for a new centre-forward after Rasmus Hojlund's underwhelming performance, although some reports suggest that the former Atalanta man is expected to stay at Old Trafford. 

Have Man Utd made any signings?

The Red Devils have already agreed a deal with Wolves for the signing of Matheus Cunha, and Amorim’s team are still expected to be busy during the summer window, as sales and arrivals are anticipated at Old Trafford.
