Manchester United are now on the verge of completing a major signing, as Sporting CP and head coach Ruben Amorim — who is tipped to become the next United manager — are nearing an agreement for striker Viktor Gyökeres.
The deal is expected to be in the same financial range as Arsenal’s previous offer, which had reached €70 million including bonuses. However, Arsenal’s pursuit of the Swedish international has hit a major roadblock.
🔴 United have moved swiftly behind the scenes, with Amorim reportedly playing a key role in convincing Gyökeres to join the Old Trafford project. Talks have accelerated in recent days, and all signs point toward a breakthrough being imminent.
Arsenal’s offer included a fixed €63.5 million fee, with the total rising to €70 million after the player’s agent waived a €6.5 million commission — a signal of how keen the Gunners were to finalize the deal. But with Amorim and United stepping up decisively, the tide appears to have turned.
⏳ Official confirmation could arrive soon as the clubs work to finalize final details. Gyökeres, who had a sensational season in Portugal, is now poised to make the leap to the Premier League — but not to North London as once expected.
