Manchester United are reportedly keeping a close eye on Sporting CP's prolific striker Viktor Gyokeres, as speculation grows over Marcus Rashford's future at Old Trafford.
The Swedish forward has been in sensational form this season, netting 36 goals in just 39 appearances for the Portuguese giants. His performances have caught the attention of several top European clubs, with United now emerging as serious contenders for his signature.
Rashford's Uncertain Future
Rumours persist about Rashford's potential departure, with PSG reportedly interested in the England international. While United would be reluctant to sell their academy graduate, the club may be forced to consider offers if the 26-year-old expresses a desire to leave.
Gyokeres' Stellar Season
The 25-year-old Gyokeres has taken Primeira Liga by storm since his €20m move from Coventry City last summer. His physical presence, clinical finishing and impressive work rate have made him one of Europe's most sought-after forwards.
United scouts have reportedly watched Gyokeres multiple times this season, with manager Erik ten Hag believed to be an admirer of the striker's all-round game.
Potential Transfer Fee
Sporting are likely to demand his €100m release clause, which could prove a stumbling block for United given Financial Fair Play considerations. However, the club may explore player-plus-cash deals to lower the upfront cost.
With Anthony Martial expected to depart when his contract expires this summer, United are certain to be in the market for at least one new striker during the upcoming transfer window.
