It often gets chaotic when one of Europe’s hottest top scorers is ready for exit and a new club. We saw it with Erling Haaland, we saw it again no one with Victor Osimhen. It almost seems to peak with Viktor Gyökeres, the player who three years ago was far under the radar at the big clubs. Now Manchester United and Arsenal are chasing the signing of the Swedish super striker, while the Sporting management is weighing down and threatening to block transfers under 80 million euros. One club has nevertheless withdrawn from this race.
“Los Blancos” have been active in the transfer market and have already signed Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen and Franco Mastantuono. They will also be working on signing Alvaro Carreras from Benfica. Now a striker signing awaits. This has caused Gyökeres’ agent to knock on the door in Madrid.

According to The Athletic, Real were offered the opportunity to sign Viktor Gyökeres, but politely turned down Sporting’s star striker due to the potentially high cost and the Swede being initially seen as a starting striker.
Xabi Alonso has booked a striker with the same profile as Joselu, who left the club in 2024. That is, someone with a strong presence in the box and who is comfortable being second choice in the position.
According to Portuguese A Bola, it is now between Arsenal, Manchester United, Juventus, Atlético Madrid and Al-Ahli. Real Madrid don’t need a Swedish superbuck in their starting eleven.
