Viktor Gyökeres Transfer from Sporting CP to Paris Saint Germain
Manchester United is reportedly among several clubs closely monitoring Sporting CP's Viktor Gyökeres for the January transfer window. Christian Falk conveyed that Bayern Munich should not be regarded as serious contenders for the Sweden international’s signature in the winter. Furthermore, PSG has expressed interest in the Swedish player, with Manchester United’s interest being notably strong. It is said that Sporting Lisbon has reached a gentleman’s agreement with the striker, assuring him they would be willing to accept a fee between €75m and €85m, even though the release clause is valued at €100m.
Viktor Gyokeres is one of the most in-demand centre-forwards, with PSG showing interest in the player. PSG had prepared to meet Gyokeres’ €100m release clause. However, Gyokeres has assured Sporting CP, through his agent Hasan Cetinkaya, that he does not intend to leave during the January transfer window, but might consider summer plans. This represents a blow for PSG.
PSG are readying a €100 million offer that would match his release clause. Speculation has built since angry Sporting fans threw objects at the team following a Champions League loss against Club Brugge, leading to Gyokeres criticizing the supporters and hinting at his unhappiness.
PSG are thought to be the club most actively pushing to sign Sporting CP striker Gyokeres in January. Triggering Gyokeres’ €100 million release clause is a solution that PSG are seriously considering for January rather than waiting until the summer, when he might be available for €70m but there will be far more competition. PSG are in need of a clinical striker and are prepared to match the release fee of the Sweden international.

Le Parisien reported that PSG's coach Luis Enrique had reservations about the €100 million price tag set by Sporting for Gyokeres's departure in January, viewing it as a risky investment for all involved.
