Ruben Amorim explained why Viktor Gyokeres could refuse a transfer to Manchester United, admitting that the Sporting CP striker “will not come”.

The Swedish sensation Gyokeres has become one of the most sought after talents in world football. The 26 -year -old striker scored 52 goals in all competitions this season, and played 95 of the 98 appearances during his visit to Lisbon.

The former striker of Brighton and Coventry is now envisaged for a return to England. Having already worked with Amorim in Portugal, reunion at Old Trafford were mentioned.

Gyokeres ready to turn your back on Manchester United

Manchester United, however, stagnates in 14th place in the Premier League ranking. They are qualified for the semi-finals of the Europa League, where they will face the Athletic Club, and a victory in this competition would assure them a qualification for the Champions League for the 2025-26 season.

Gyokeres could say no

Amorim admits that the Red Devils must rub shoulders with the European elite to have a chance to recruit Gyokeres. He said about a player he knows well: ” I didn't tell him. But if a player only wants to come to Manchester United only to play the Champions League, he will not come. We are looking for players who want to represent United, not players who want to play certain competitions. »»

According to A Bola, Arsenal is the best placed club to recruit Gyokeres this summer, the Gunners being themselves in search of a new number 9. The Swedish international would benefit from a liberating clause of 60 million pounds Sterling ($ 80 million) in his contract.
