Man Utd-linked striker who is cheaper than Viktor Gyokeres is 'open to making' transfer to club, 'offered his services'

Manchester United have been handed a major boost in potentially signing an alternative striking option to Viktor Gyokeres for Ruben Amorim this summer.

Ruben Amorim is in desperate need to add a new striker to his attacking options and Viktor Gyokeres has been linked with Manchester United in recent months.

Gyokeres played under United manager Amorim at Sporting CP and the 27-year-old Swedish forward is tipped to leave the Estadio Jose Alvalade this summer.

The Sporting CP striker has impressed during his time with the current Primeira Liga champions and Arsenal are in the race to sign Gyokeres from Sporting CP.

United’s ability to move for the Arsenal-linked Gyokeres could be hindered by the Red Devils’ financial situation, despite Amorim’s admiration for the Sporting player.

Gyokeres has a whopping £85m release clause in his current contract with Sporting and the Sweden international’s deal with the club will expire in 2028.

How much would Fiorentina striker Moise Kean cost Man Utd if a summer transfer approach was made?

Moise Kean’s second spell with Juventus came to an end last summer and the United-linked striker completed his move to Serie A outfit Fiorentina.

Juventus secured an initial fee of €13m for the 2024 transfer of Kean, with a further €5m included in add-ons from Fiorentina as part of the deal.

The former Juventus striker impressed for his current side last season and Kean netted an impressive 25 times in 44 matches across all competitions.

Kean is under contract with Fiorentina until 2029, but the former Everton and Paris Saint-Germain player does have a release clause in his current deal.

It is believed that the Italy and Fiorentina striker has a £44.5m release clause that will become active from 1st July and will run until 15th July.
