Liverpool on red alert as Viktor Gyokeres ‘agreement’ emerges amid Ruben Amorim to Man Utd talks

Liverpool has already been linked with Sporting forward Viktor Gyokeres. With his manager Ruben Amorim likely heading to Manchester United, the player could move next summer.

Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres has spent 2024 scoring goal after goal. He has also spent the year being linked with a move to Liverpool, a scenario which appears closer based on an update regarding the lowering of his release clause.

This looks set to be a period of turbulence in the capital of Portugal. The Lisbon-based club appear likely to lose Ruben Amorim to Manchester United. Like Gyokeres, he was rumored to be interesting the Reds when they were scouting for a replacement for Jürgen Klopp, though they obviously opted for Arne Slot instead.

Would Amorim’s exit unsettle Gyokeres? They certainly have a strong relationship, with the 26-year-old having delivered a stunning 57 goals and 22 assists in 64 games for his current manager.

It feels plausible that the Sporting boss would like to take him to United with him should he make that move himself, yet according to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, there are four other Premier League clubs eyeing a move next summer.

Man Utd already handed blunt Ruben Amorim verdict after Liverpool links – ‘Not mature enough’

Arne Slot has clear stance on surprise Federico Chiesa transfer amid Liverpool struggles

Liverpool is credited with interest in the striker, along with Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea. It’s claimed he has a release clause of €100m [$108m/£83m], but there is an ‘agreement’ in place that he can leave next summer for €60-70m [$65m/£50m – $76m/£58m].

These are interesting times for the composition of Liverpool’s front line. On one hand, it initially looks like Slot has a wealth of options at his disposal.

However, Mohamed Salah is out of contract next summer and could leave the club. Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota are unable to put their talent to use as often as Liverpool and its fans would like due to regular injury problems.

Then there’s Darwin Nunez, whose all-round game looks to have markedly improved at the expense of him having shots. He and Jota have provided six goals from the central forward position this season, compared to eight from Salah on the right and seven from the combination of Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo on the left.
