Portuguese media reports have revealed that English club Liverpool is planning to sign Swedish international Victor Gyökeres, the forward from Sporting Lisbon, during the summer transfer window.

According to the Portuguese newspaper "Correio da Manhã", Liverpool has already begun its moves to sign Gyökeres, amid strong competition from Arsenal, which has also shown interest in acquiring the player.

The report clarified that Gyökeres, who is 27 years old, is among the top candidates to replace the potential departure of Uruguayan Darwin Núñez, Liverpool's forward.

The club's management has requested precise information from intermediaries regarding the player's value, as his contract with Sporting Lisbon includes a release clause of 80 million euros.

It is noted that Victor Gyökeres played 52 matches with Sporting Lisbon last season across all competitions, scoring 54 goals and providing 13 assists, after joining the Portuguese club from Coventry City for 24 million euros in the summer of 2023.
