Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres has commented on reports that he will leave to join Manchester United in the January transfer window.
The Sweden international has been linked with a number of top clubs across Europe, including the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
Manchester United have also been strongly linked with the 26-year-old striker and the arrival of Ruben Amorim as the next manager of the club have only made the reports stronger.
Asked about the potential of a move to United, Gyokeres told Swedish outlet Fotbollskanalen: “It’s not something I think about, nor something I care about. These are rumours, nothing concrete.
“Of course I want to finish the season at Sporting, I enjoy my time there. I don’t feel stressed about making a change in the future. We’ll see when the time comes.”
Gyokeres continued: “He (Amorim) probably already has strikers there. It’s very sad that he left (Sporting), but of course we understand the decision. He meant a lot to me, as he gave me an opportunity and helped me evolve a lot.
“Now we are looking forward to working with the new coach (Joao Pereira).”
The Sweden international’s contract at Sporting Lisbon is due to expire in the summer of 2028.
