“Don’t believe the rumours – he’s still open to joining Manchester United,” says Fabrizio Romano, who has dismissed reports claiming the top player rejected a move to Old Trafford. The trusted journalist clarified that there is still a real possibility the transfer could happen.

Manchester United have expressed strong interest in signing Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, and the Swedish star is reportedly open to making the move.

The 27-year-old enjoyed a phenomenal season in Portugal, scoring 54 goals, and is now considered one of Europe’s elite forwards. His outstanding form has caught the eye of top clubs, including both Manchester United and Arsenal.

Gyökeres Open to Old Trafford Switch

Despite recent rumours suggesting he rejected a move to United, journalist Ben Jacobs has clarified that there’s been no such refusal. In fact, Gyökeres is still open to joining the Premier League giants.

However, United may face a tough task in meeting his €70 million release clause. Still, many feel his current form justifies the price tag.

Arsenal Remain Interested

Arsenal are also keeping tabs on Gyökeres as they aim to boost their frontline. With the lure of Champions League football and the chance to compete for major trophies, the Gunners could have a persuasive edge in the race.

Both clubs view the Swedish striker as a potential game-changer, and with Gyökeres entering his prime, the Premier League may well be his next destination. The transfer saga is heating up as crucial weeks lie ahead.
