Ruben Amorim wants Manchester United to sign £80M star this January
Ruben Amorim wants to sign Viktor Gyokeres this month for Manchester United – but knows it won’t be easy as Sporting Lisbon do not want to let their star leave, and the Red Devils have not money to splash.
Over the past few transfer windows, the Manchester United board have backed the manager and spent some insane money, but the players that have been brought to the club have not improved the side enough to close the gap on the top three or four teams.
Ruben Amorim is now in charge of the club after the sacking of Erik Ten Hag and there has been alot of speculation in the media that the club will look to raid his former club and bring striker Gyokeres to the Premier League.
Last season Gyokeres was in sensational form for Sporting Lisbon and broke the 40 goal barrier for the Portuguese giants, he already has more than 20 goals and is fully established as one of the most dangerous strikers in the game, and a player that Amorim would like at United.
It has been claimed that Amorim wants Gyokeres to be brought to Old Trafford this transfer window, but knows that a deal for his player will not come easily.
Gyokeres will cost £80million and such a transfer will have to be sanctioned by the Glazer family. It will also require a number of departures this month to satisfy profit and sustainability rules.
Speaking candidly to reporters on Monday night about the possibility of January transfers, Amorim stated, “We don’t have that possibility in January. You know the situation better than I [do].
‘It’s not the case I am not arriving here and I can spend a lot of money, changing all the team. You know the situation so it’s not a point to talk about it.”
