Viktor Gyökeres has been one of the best strikers in Europe over the past two seasons. He has given new life to Sporting and allowed them to reclaim a spot as the top club in Portugal.
Gyökeres has gone a step further and his goals have spanned beyond Portugal where he has scored five goals already in this year’s Champions League campaign. All of Europe’s top clubs have taken notice and Bayern Munich have officially made their enquiry.
Despite having Harry Kane, it is clear that Bayern is already contemplating a move for the Swedish striker. How serious they are is yet to be determined but Gyökeres doesn’t need to do much more at this point to solidify his status as an elite striker.
Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg delivered this report (as captured by @iMiaSanMia):
Bayern have inquired about Viktor Gyökeres and gathered information about the striker, but no further action has been taken yet. Nearly all top European clubs have already made similar inquiries in recent weeks and continue to do so. Bayern will continue to monitor his situation closely. Gyökeres is allowed to leave Sporting next summer for €60-70m.
Gyökeres has a long list of clubs keen to sign him, so competition could easily drive up price. It has been reported though that Gyökeres is allowed to leave Sporting next summer for €60-70m. Do Bayern Munich really need to spend that much on a 26-year-old when they already have so many offensive talents? Or he is that good that it is worth it?
