The English club is working towards a final agreement and feels that the deal is in its final stages.
Gyökeres, who is 26 years old, has become a primary target for United since the appointment of Ruben Amorim as manager of the Red Devils, as they share a strong relationship. Despite Manchester United’s poor results this season, the Swedish player has shown a strong desire to join the English team.
On the other hand, Manchester United faces competition from Arsenal, who have also expressed interest in signing Gyökeres. However, sources have confirmed that the strong relationship between the player and his former coach Ruben Amorim may give United an advantage in completing the deal.
This season, Gyökeres has shown impressive performance with Sporting Lisbon, scoring 52 goals and providing 12 assists in 48 matches, making him a key target for major clubs in the Premier League.
