Atlético de Madrid has set a goal to continue improving the squad for the next season and aims to compete for the best players in the world again. One of them is Gyökeres, who seems determined to leave Sporting de Portugal and try his luck at a bigger club. The red-and-whites already inquired about the Swedish international last year, but his release price exceeded 100 million euros.
Now, after another great season in terms of scoring, everything seems to indicate that there is an agreement for the footballer to have the doors open once the summer market opens. He will be one of the key names this year, as he will have numerous offers on the table to choose a new destination. In fact, Fabrizio Romano has updated his situation and points to a club that would be the most interested in acquiring his services.
Gyökeres, the Main Saga of the Summer
It is no surprise to imagine that the forward from Sporting de Portugal is set to become the most expensive transfer of this year in Europe. He has scored more than 40 goals this season across all official competitions at the level of clubs and national team, following the same path as last season. His market value rises to 80 million euros, but he could leave for a lower figure thanks to an agreement he reached with his sporting management.
This new amount would range between 70 and 75 million, somewhat more affordable and allowing him to have numerous interested parties during the transfer period. Atlético de Madrid has been monitoring him since his arrival in Portugal, although last summer the Portuguese team was asking for more than 100 million euros to let him go. Now, with practically everything decided, Fabrizio Romano has revealed the destination that would be bidding the strongest to acquire the player.
Manchester United Is Watching Him Closely
The team led by Rubén Amorim, former coach of Gyökeres, would be determined to go for his signing once the summer market opens. The goal is to make a radical change to the squad of one of the most historic teams in the world, which has been going through a serious crisis for some time. Not even the change of coach has allowed them to improve, placing them relatively close to the relegation spots in the Premier League.
Another target for the forward position would be Osimhen, a forward who left Napoli for non-sporting reasons and was forced to land at Galatasaray. Evidently, Atlético de Madrid hasn't lost hope and will be another of the teams that will bid strongly to try to bring the Swede to their squad. It would represent a notable improvement in scoring, as he is one of the most prolific footballers in front of goal in recent years.
