During the summer 2025 window, Liverpool has entered the battle with Manchester United and Arsenal for Sporting striker Viktor Gyökeres. The 27-year-old Sweden international, unhappy with Sporting’s £85 million valuation, is a key target after his stellar form. The transfer saga intensifies as top Premier League clubs compete for his signature.
As of the final week of June 2025, the transfer saga surrounding Viktor Gyökeres has intensified, with Liverpool officially entering the race to sign the in-demand striker from Sporting CP. The Swedish international is already being pursued by Manchester United and Arsenal, but Liverpool's involvement has complicated the situation further. Gyökeres, 27, is reportedly frustrated with Sporting’s £85 million asking price, which he believes is blocking a potential move.
The forward enjoyed a prolific season in Portugal and is now eager to take the next step in his career. Despite the strong interest, Sporting remain firm on their valuation, unwilling to lower the fee for their star forward. Liverpool, known for strategic transfers, must now decide whether to match the asking price or risk losing out to their Premier League rivals.
With Arsenal identifying Gyökeres as a key target and Manchester United seeking to bolster their attacking options, the battle for his signature is shaping up to be one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer window. The outcome could hinge on which club acts quickest and most decisively, as Gyökeres eyes a move to a top European league to cement his place as one of the continent’s leading forwards.
