In the past few hours, some very interesting news has emerged regarding AC Milan's interest in Viktor Gyokeres. To begin with, the Rossoneri club had wanted to intervene in the transfer market during the summer session to try to sign a striker. However, conditions have changed over time.
Firstly, because with each game, Luka Jovic has been growing more and more. And secondly, because at the same time, Noah Okafor has also followed the same upward trajectory. This has led the Rossoneri management to wait, but it is not excluded that an arrival in this sense could still happen in the summer window.
Among the many names linked to AC Milan in recent weeks, there has been that of Viktor Gyokeres, the breakout striker of Sporting Lisbon.
He is a center-forward who, according to the latest rumours, is highly appreciated by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who will have a significant say in the transfer decisions. Furthermore, he is a physical but also very technical forward, capable of scoring in any way and with a rare goal-scoring instinct in today's football. And in the past few hours, there has been a truly interesting rumour regarding the player's price.
As reported by the Portuguese newspaper 'Record', AC Milan's interest in the Swedish striker has been confirmed, along with that of Atletico Madrid and Chelsea. Not only that, but Sporting Lisbon has expressed their desire to receive a fee of 100 million euros to let him go.
In January, the 'Blues' reportedly offered 80 million euros, but this offer was rejected.
AC Milan, therefore, must put a plan to see if they can secure this move. And they will have to overcome the dual obstacle of fierce competition and the high cost of Viktor Gyokeres, as told by Pianeta Milan.
The 25-year-old centre-forward from Sweden has truly incredible numbers this season which speak for his qualities in front of goal. In fact, in 39 matches played this season across all competitions, he has managed to score 36 goals while providing 14 assists to his teammates. The AC Milan target is averaging one goal per 89 minutes.
