Portuguese club keen on handing Arsenal and Manchester United target a new deal that will include €120m release clause - Reports
According to Fichajes.net, Sporting CP are looking to hand Arsenal and Manchester United target Viktor Gyokeres a new deal that would see his release clause rise to €120 million.
The Swedish striker has been in magnificent form this season, scoring 36 goals and providing 14 assists in 39 matches across competitions. The 25-year-old currently has a deal until the end of the 2027-28 season. He has an estimated market value of €55 million, according to Transfermarkt.
Arsenal are looking to bolster their attack in the summer. Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah have failed to become prominent goal threats for the Gunners this season. They've scored just 14 goals between them across competitions. Hence, Mikel Arteta might look to bolster his frontline in the next transfer window.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have relied heavily on young Rasmus Hojlund. Anthony Martial is expected to leave the club, with his contract expiring in the summer. Hence, the Red Devils could look to sign a new striker and Gyokeres has emerged as an option for both Premier League giants.
Sporting want to have substantial revenue from Gyokeres' potential sale. They are looking to hand a new contract to the player, that would see his release clause up to €120 million.
Gyokeres, apart from his impressive form this season, has scored five goals in 19 appearances for Sweden's national team so far.
