Gyokeres move to Man Utd is 'done deal' as Man Utd get their first choice striker

Gyokeres: United's Top Target

• Gyokeres has been a primary target for United since manager Ruben Amorim arrived at Old Trafford. Amorim previously managed Gyokeres at Sporting CP, and their strong relationship is seen as a key factor in the transfer's progress
• United have been working behind the scenes to reach an agreement, with reports suggesting the club feels it is now in a "strong position" to finalize the move
• The Swedish international has had a standout season, scoring 52 goals and providing 12 assists in 48 appearances for Sporting, making him one of Europe's most prolific forwards

Transfer Details and Context

• The transfer fee is expected to be around €70 million, lower than Gyokeres' €100 million release clause, as Sporting are reportedly willing to accept a reduced sum
• United's disappointing Premier League campaign has increased the urgency to reinforce the attack, especially as current strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have underperformed
• Amorim's presence at United is believed to have given the club an edge over rivals such as Arsenal, who were also interested in Gyokeres
• Champions League qualification, potentially via the Europa League, could further boost United's appeal to Gyokeres, although it is not considered a decisive factor in the deal
