Harry Kane’s Move to Bayern Could Pave the Way for Viktor Gyökeres to Join Manchester United
Manchester United might benefit indirectly from Harry Kane’s presence at Bayern Munich, as Ruben Amorim eyes a summer move for Sporting CP’s prolific striker Viktor Gyökeres. The Swedish forward has become one of Europe’s most coveted attacking talents, boasting an impressive 27 goal contributions in just 18 games during the 2024-25 season.
Gyökeres solidified his reputation with a standout performance in Sporting’s 4-1 Champions League victory over Manchester City. This form has piqued the interest of top clubs, including Bayern Munich and Manchester United, setting the stage for a potential bidding war next summer.
A Favorable Release Clause
The 25-year-old striker’s contract reportedly includes an £83 million ($105m) release clause, but there is speculation that Sporting might accept offers closer to £61 million ($77m). This reduced fee could ignite fierce competition among Europe’s elite.
