Bayern Munich eye move for Viktor Gyokeres
Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in Swedish international and Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyökeres.
Gyokeres is emerging as one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe.
Currently in sensational form for Sporting, the 26-year-old recently scored hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League.
Gyökeres’ exit next summer appears increasingly likely, with his potential transfer fee projected at €75m, significantly lower than the previously speculated €100m release clause.

This price is expected to ignite interest from top European clubs, including Bayern Munich, reports Sport Bild.
Despite this, Bayern’s pursuit of the forward remains uncertain.
The German giants already boast Harry Kane as their main striker and are reportedly more focused on strengthening their wide positions and targeting players like Florian Wirtz.
While Gyökeres could be considered a strategic investment for the future, Bayern may not prioritize a move for him in the immediate.
Manchester United, however, are emerging as strong contenders for Gyökeres.
With former Sporting head coach Ruben Amorim now at the helm at Old Trafford, there is a clear connection to the Swedish forward.
Although Amorim has ruled out signing Sporting players in January, a summer move for Gyökeres appears possible.
