Liverpool FC Manger Arne Slot Makes Ambitious Offer for Viktor Gyökeres
Liverpool FC manager Arne Slot is reportedly targeting Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres in a bold move to bolster his attacking options. According to multiple sources, the Dutch tactician has made an enticing offer that includes Liverpool forward Darwin Núñez plus a cash sum to secure the signature of the highly-rated Swedish international.
Gyökeres, who has been a standout performer for Sporting CP since joining from Coventry City in the summer, has caught the attention of top European clubs with his powerful displays in both domestic and European competitions. The 25-year-old striker has been a revelation in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, scoring regularly and showcasing his all-round ability as a central forward.
With Liverpool’s attacking department under scrutiny following an inconsistent start to the season, Slot is eager to add more depth and versatility to his squad. The manager is reportedly keen on Gyökeres due to his blend of pace, technical skill, and aerial prowess—traits that Slot believes could provide a valuable asset to Liverpool’s forward line, alongside stars like Mohamed Salah and Luis Díaz.
The proposed deal would see Núñez, who has shown flashes of brilliance since his £64 million move from Benfica in 2022, move in the opposite direction, potentially with an additional cash sum from Liverpool to make the deal more enticing for Sporting. While Núñez has had his moments at Anfield, concerns over his finishing and consistency have led to speculation over his future at the club.
Sporting CP, currently in a strong position domestically and in European competition, would likely demand a significant fee for their prized striker, and discussions are said to be ongoing between the two clubs. If the deal goes through, it could mark a major shift in Liverpool’s attacking setup under Slot’s leadership.
