How much longer will Viktor Gyokeres be a Sporting player? In 2024, the Swedish striker was the top scorer with 62 goals in 63 games! Behind him were, among others, Erling Haaland (49 goals), Harry Kane (46), Cristiano Ronaldo (43) and Robert Lewandowski (42).
From time to time, there are reports of interest in Gyokeres from many of the largest European clubs. The Swede's contract with Sporting is valid until the end of June 2028, and its valuation on Transfermarkt is EUR 75 million. And that's probably how much a club willing to contract Gyokeres will have to pay.
Bayern Munich is already working on the transfer of Viktor Gyokeres
And as it turns out, Sporting has concluded an oral agreement with the striker regarding his departure – we read in the Catalan “Sport”. This means that clubs such as Manchester United and FC Barcelona can start transfer negotiations. These two clubs are most often mentioned in the context of the Swede's future.
The breakthrough news was announced on Thursday by the Portuguese “Record”, which indicated Bayern Munich as the favorite! Gyokeres is on the wish list of the Bavarians, who have intensified their efforts in recent weeks, sending scouts to watch the Swedish striker in the match against FC Porto on Tuesday (1-0). The player left good impressions and initial contacts were made with the player's camp with a view to a potential transfer.
And why does Bayern Munich need Viktor Gyokeres when they have Harry Kane in their colors? The Portuguese daily noted that the Englishman is 31 years old and from time to time struggles with health problems that strongly affect Bayern's play. If the Swede was transferred, they could shine together in some matches, and over time, Gyokeres could possibly replace Kane for good.
