Man Utd or Man City? Gyokeres faces tough decision on his future

Viktor Gyokeres is in the middle of an intense transfer race, with Manchester United and Manchester City both prepared to trigger the £65 million buyout clause in the former Coventry striker’s contract.

The 25-year-old has been in excellent form, attracting the attention of top clubs across Europe, and the Premier League giants are both determined to secure his transfer.

The Swedish forward has strong connections to both clubs, adding another layer of intrigue to the chase. At Manchester City, he has a close relationship with Hugo Viana, who will officially take over as the club's sporting director next season.

Viana, currently still in his role at Sporting Lisbon, worked closely with him during his time at the Portuguese club. Meanwhile, at Manchester United, the 26-year-old shares a bond with Ruben Amorim, who coached him in Portugal and is now leading the Red Devils.

With both clubs set to activate his release clause, the battle for Gyokeres is set to be one of the major transfer sagas of 2025. The player's decision is likely to be shaped by both his professional relationships and his long-term career ambitions.
