The report states that United have been in talks with Sporting over the availability of the Sweden striker at the end of the season.

While Gyokeres has a release clause in his contract worth €100 million, Sporting have made it known that they will accept an offer from United of €70m.

This is the amount that Sporting consider to be a fair price for the prolific striker.

United will sign a top-class striker this summer and have been linked to a host of top stars including Benjamin Sesko, Victor Osimhen, Mateo Retegui and also Gyokeres.

Gyokeres appears to be United's favoured choice due to his relationship with manager Ruben Amorim.

The Sweden star was prolific under Amorim at Sporting over their 15 months together prior to the manager’s move to United in November.

Gyokeres is expected to be sold by Sporting at the end of the 2024-25 season in order for the Sweden international to make the next step in his career.

Man Utd are favourites to sign him due to the presence of Amorim, who has made it clear that he wants his new club to go all-out and sign the striker.

Gyokeres was in action on Tuesday in the Champions League playoffs but saw his team lose 3-0 at home to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg.
