Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Ruben Amorim will not move for Viktor Gyokeres during the January transfer window but says that Man Utd will be among many clubs considering the striker next summer.

Gyokeres is one of Europe’s most wanted strikers and there has been intense speculation that incoming Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim will bring him with him from Sporting Lisbon.

But Romano has confirmed the words of Amorim himself that Gyokeres will not follow the Sporting manager to Old Trafford in January.

What did Romano say?

“The feeling at Sporting is that Viktor Gyokeres can complete the season at the club and then decide his future destination in summer 2025. For sure, we expect Viktor Gyokeres to leave Sporting in 2025, should be in the summer, so this is the idea,” Romano told his YouTube channel.

“Amorim has been honest, he is not planning to go for Gyokeres in the January transfer window, also, because he doesn’t want to break the relationship with the club, the relationship with the Sporting fans. So going for Viktor Gyokeres in January would mean creating a problem, an issue to the relationship.

“In the summer, it could be completely different for any club. There are many clubs interested in Gyokeres, guys. So I’m not going to come here and tell you nine clubs interested in Gyokeres. As soon as there will be something concrete, I will let you know which club is pushing for Viktor Gyokeres. But the interest is obviously there, and many clubs are starting to work behind the scenes on the Viktor Gyokeres story for 2025.

“Man Utd in January are not planning to break the relationship with Sporting, especially because this is something wanted by Ruben Amorim for Gyokeres.”

Gyokeres is the hottest striking property around right now and has made an incredible start to the new season, already scoring 23 goals in 17 games in all competitions.

This follows on from his brilliant form from last season for Sporting where he scored 43 goals in all competitions for his club.

The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, PSG, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also very interested in Gyokeres.

Gyokeres has a €100 million release clause in his contract and is expected to be sold by Sporting at the end of the 2024-25 season.
