Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyökeres has been turning heads lately, particularly with his impressive start to the 2024-25 season. As a result, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provided the latest on the player.
The Swedish standout is scoring goals at a high rate, and other European clubs are noticing. Last week, CaughtOffside reported that Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and PSG are the key players in the race for Gyökeres, with Spurs showing the most interest in the forward.
Chelsea is monitoring Gyökeres as a backup option since they intend to pursue Victor Osimhen again in January or next summer. PSG also has an eye on Gyökeres and maintains a good relationship with Sporting.
However, CaughtOffside notes that a potential transfer to PSG may depend on whether the club chooses to part ways with Gonçalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani after the season, a situation that remains uncertain.
In his latest Daily Briefing column for CaughtOffside, Romano shared new insights about Gyökeres and what the future holds for him.
“I keep receiving many questions about him for the January transfer window, and maybe something can happen because he keeps scoring goals,” Romano wrote.
“What I can tell you about Gyökeres is that Sporting – as they were very clear in the summer transfer window – remain intent on asking for the full release clause. They want €100 million or the player stays. We will follow the situation closely, because Gyökeres is clearly one of the best number nines around Europe.”
