Sporting Lisbon is said to be open to the departure of Viktor Gyokeres next summer, with interest from four Premier League clubs in the Swedish forward.

Sporting Lisbon's reduced fee for Gyokeres attracts Premier League interest

Gyokeres, who is contracted with Sporting Lisbon until 2028, is not expected to leave during the January transfer window, but a departure is anticipated for the following summer.

Sky Germany reports that an agreement has been reached allowing Gyokeres to leave for a reduced fee, significantly lower than his £85m release clause.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City are the Premier League clubs said to be monitoring Gyokeres' situation.

The 26-year-old's reduced price tag has been communicated to the interested clubs.

While Manchester United is not currently in the race for Gyokeres, their interest could be revived if his current coach at Sporting, Ruben Amorim, takes over at Old Trafford.

Gyokeres has been a standout performer since his £20m move from Coventry in 2023, scoring 43 goals and providing 15 assists in 50 matches in his debut season, which was instrumental in Sporting's title win.

This season, he has already notched 14 goals and four assists in 14 matches, including two Champions League goals contributing to Sporting's eighth place after three matches.

Internationally, Gyokeres has scored 10 goals in 24 appearances for Sweden.

Gyokeres' previous stint in the Premier League was with Brighton, after which he had loan spells at St Pauli, Swansea, and Coventry before a permanent move in 2021.

Following his 22 goals in 50 matches for Coventry, Sporting came calling, and Coventry are set to receive 15% of any future transfer fee for Gyokeres.
