Chelsea has reportedly made a substantial offer of £73 million to acquire Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting, according to blockbuster reports from Portugal. The Swedish striker, who joined from Coventry City in the summer, has been in impressive form with 20 goals and 10 assists in just 24 appearances. However, Sporting is said to be standing firm, insisting on the striker’s £87 million release clause and rejecting Chelsea’s £73 million bid.
In another transfer update, Manchester United is said to be eyeing a move for Bayern Munich’s star defender Matthijs de Ligt in the upcoming summer transfer window. Reports from Sky Sport Germany suggest that De Ligt, not entirely satisfied with his playing time under Thomas Tuchel at Bayern, could consider an exit. Although a January move is unlikely, United is closely monitoring the situation, with Transfermarkt valuing the 24-year-old at around £56 million.
Manchester City is reportedly interested in securing the services of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ 23-year-old winger Pedro Neto, according to sources. The defending Premier League champions are said to be considering a move for the talented Portuguese player.
