Many major organizations are now keeping an eye on Viktor Gyökeres, and the summer competition should be intense. AC Milan thinks they can get him, even with the Premier League showing real interest.
Gyökeres has been in outstanding form for Sporting Lisbon this season, notching an impressive 36 goals, which has captured the attention of several top clubs. According to the latest edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan is among those interested and they believe they have an advantage.
While clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea, the top contenders in the Premier League, could offer higher financial incentives, they lack the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Gyökeres has always regarded Ibrahimovic as his idol, and a personal call from the 42-year-old could significantly influence his decision.
Although Gyökeres has a release clause of €100m, the asking price is currently set at a minimum of €50m, with the player’s preference expected to heavily influence the outcome in the summer transfer window. However, Milan may find it challenging to engage in a full-fledged bidding war.
Despite some reports suggesting Milan’s focus on other strikers, their interest in Gyökeres is genuine and concrete.
