Director opens door for Manchester United to sign brilliant 43 goal star
Napoli’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, has shut down links of a move for Viktor Gyokeres, giving Manchester United a better chance of signing him.
Gyokeres has scored 43 goals in 50 outings for Sporting and is one of the form attacking players in European football this term, with many reports in the media suggesting that he could be sold in the coming transfer window.
Europe’s elite are queueing up to prise the Sweden international away from Lisbon after his stunning start to life with Sporting, and Manchester United are one of the clubs that are desperate to delve into that transfer kitty and add a 30 goals a season forward to that attack
Benjamin Sesko seemed to be the number one transfer target for United – but he has reportedly made the decision to snub a move away from RB Leipzig this transfer window and stay put for at least another Bundesliga season.
Man United would want to negotiate a fee in the region of £50m-£60m, but his club are unwilling to let him leave on the cheap and will be demanding his £85 million release clause is met before allowing him to depart the side.
Napoli had been tipped to sign the Sweden international as a replacement from the potentially departing Victor Osimhen, but Manna has poured cold water on the topic.
“Impossible,” he was quoted as saying by Tuttomercatoweb.

The Red Devils need a striker that could give the club different options – they have just signed Joshua Zirkzee so may not need anymore striker signings.
There are plenty of options for Manchester United in the Premier League and we are sure that there are a few strikers that fans would love to see arrive. but we are sure that no more forwards will come to the club and that includes Gyokeres.
