Liverpool are nearing their potential options to replace Darwin Nunez as Viktor Gyokeres has made his transfer stance clear.
Viktor Gyokeres confirms he WANTS Liverpool transfer
Anfield Watch exclusively revealed that the Uruguayan is among the potential attackers the Reds are open to selling in what is expected to be a major overhaul at the club this summer.
And as Nunez and others leave, Liverpool are now exploring their options to bring players in. One of those could be the brilliant Swedish forward, Gyokeres, who has been in great form since arriving at Sporting CP and who fits the profile of what the Reds need.
Gyokeres is a quick, athletic forward who is very much capable of scoring goals and he’s shown that at Sporting CP and at Coventry City.
Having that experience in English football also makes him an ideal candidate because he won’t have to acclimatise to the culture and the new environment.
And it seems like the Swede would also be open to a move to Anfield.
Viktor Gyokeres wants Liverpool transfer
According to a brand new report by A Bola’s newspaper edition, Portugal’s leading publications, despite interests from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, Gyokeres has narrowed down his options.
They claim that he wants three clubs as his potential next destination. These clubs are Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.
These would be his favoured destinations over a move to Barcelona, Paris Saint Germain and Bayern Munich.
Given City have just brought in Omar Marmoush and already have Erling Haaland it is moot whether they would be in the running to sign Gyokeres.
Arsenal, of course, could be genuine contenders but Liverpool would only need to show Gyokeres the Premier League table to highlight which club has the more enticing offer.
The 26-year-old has 48 goal contributions in 40 matches already so far this season for Sporting CP. In total he has 106 goal contributions in just 90 matches for the Portuguese side which is quite simply an astonishing record.
To put that into context, Gyokeres is currently averaging a goal contribution in the 90 matches he has played for Sporting CP so far every 68 minutes.
Considering Liverpool might also need to replace Mohamed Salah given he is yet to sign a contract extension with the club on his expiring deal at the end of the season, Gyokeres very much feels like the ideal option.
It feels like A Bola’s report is confirmation about the fact that he also very much desires a move to Anfield.
Now it’s just up to Richard Hughes to make it happen.
Sporting CP probably know they are going to lose their star man at the end of the season so negotiations shouldn’t be too difficult.
