Despite Arsenal seems to be closing in on the Sporting CP forward, Viktor Gyokeres is open to joining Manchester United this summer.
A significant update has surfaced that suggests Manchester United could sabotage Arsenal’s attempt to get Viktor Gyokeres.
With multiple European powerhouses monitoring Gyokeres’ progress at Sporting CP, he has been the focus of strong transfer rumors.
In an attempt to sign one of the most productive forwards in world football, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Juventus are all keeping an eye on his circumstances.
However, the Gunners are reportedly nearing an agreement and are in the lead to sign the Swedish international.
However, a possible transfer to Manchester United is still open.
Ben Jacobs claims that despite not playing in the Champions League, Gyokeres has “never said no to Man United” and is still interested in joining Ruben Amorim’s squad.
Jacobs described where the Red Devils stand in their pursuit of Gyokeres and offered a glimpse into Amorim’s intentions to sign a new No. 9.
It’s crucial to note that Gyokeres never refused Manchester United when they were together. He informed Mark Goldbridge on The United Stand that he was and still is open to joining Manchester United without playing in the Champions League if everything goes wrong.
However, Gyokeres’ statement did not imply that Manchester United approached Sporting. So far, we haven’t discussed Manchester United with Sporting. No offer. ‘If Arsenal doesn’t come off, we would also be open to joining Manchester United,’ is all that has ever progressed beyond the player’s camp.
“And the ball has always been in Manchester United’s court, and they’ve not escalated that to any kind of club-to-club talks.”
Regarding the 27-year-old, Jacobs said: “So, it’s never been anything to get overly excited about other than the fact that if this Arsenal deal doesn’t come off, Gyokeres wants to move to the Premier League and remains open to Manchester United.”
A’secret weapon’ that Manchester United can use to thwart Arsenal’s attempt to acquire Viktor Gyokeres
Gyokeres’ ‘best friend’ is Erling Haaland of Manchester City, which has led to him being backed to join Man United.
As a result of transfer rumors, music artist Tom Grennan disclosed what Gyokeres told him.
Grennan, a Coventry City supporter, told Ronan Kemp on the You About? podcast: “I know him well. When I messaged him, he replied saying there were various chats going on. Who is his best friend, do you know? Haaland. He will be next door to Haaland, which is why I believe he will join Manchester United.”
