Viktor Gyokeres transfer update as Man United 'leading race' to complete £62.5m deal
@Source: manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The next few months are expected to see plenty of transfer speculation when it comes to Manchester United.
The summer transfer window is just a couple of months away from opening and already United are being linked with several potential new signings. It remains to be seen, though, which players will turn out to be genuine targets to strengthen Ruben Amorim's squad for next season.
Away from transfers, United are still dealing with the aftermath of their 1-0 defeat to Wolves in the Premier League at the weekend. United's main focus for the remainder of the campaign will be the Europa League, where they will face Athletic Bilbao in the semi-final early next month.
Here, the Manchester Evening News takes a look at some of the latest United transfer news and gossip that has emerged over the last 24 hours.
Viktor Gyokeres 'update'
United have reportedly learned of Sporting Lisbon's latest stance regarding the future of striker Viktor Gyokeres.
The Sweden international has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent months, and a report from Portuguese outlet A Bola has claimed that Gyokeres could move to the Premier League this summer.
The report states that Arsenal remain in pole position to agree a deal, despite United being linked in the past. It has been claimed that Sporting would allow Gyokeres to leave after lowering the release clause to €70million (£60million), with several other clubs reportedly in the running, including Manchester City, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
MEN Sport says: Gyokeres has been linked with United for some time, and it should be no surprise to see other clubs mentioned as having an interest in his signature. Whether United will have £60million to spend on a new striker this summer remains to be seen, but if they do, they would be wise to do their best to convince Gyokeres that they are the club he should be joining.
Matheus Cunha stance
United are reportedly the favourites to sign Wolves star Matheus Cunha.
Fabrizio Romano has reported on X, formerly known as Twitter, that United are Cunha's most likely destination if he is to leave Wolves this summer.
The report claims that United have already discussed personal terms with Cunha ahead of a summer move, but may have to face competition from other clubs which are unnamed in the report.
Cunha signed a new contract with Wolves in January and is reported to have a £62.5million release clause in his deal.
MEN Sport says: Cunha has been linked with United for some time, and there were rumours he was a target in January before he put pen to paper on fresh terms with Wolves. If reports are to be believed, the interest from United is still there, and it would be a wise piece of business to get over the line ahead of next season.
