BREAKING NEWS: Coming live from Fabrizio Romano, Romano has brought to light Liverpool plan to hijack arsenal during the summer transfer window and has revealed that negotiations are going on internally with both teams. According to Romano, with Ruben Amorim heading to Liverpool as next manager the club wants to use his influence to bring Viktor Gyokeres to Liverpool as it’s already that the club needs a striker. The Swedish striker made the move to Sporting from Coventry City last summer, and since then has bagged a remarkable 36 goals and 16 assists in 44 appearances across all competitions.

Rúben Amorim remains the leading candidate to take over from Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. However, whether he will make the move to Anfield this summer remains uncertain.

Despite recent reports suggesting an agreement between Amorim and Liverpool, the 39-year-old has refuted such claims, emphasizing that no deal has been finalized. Nonetheless, he has not ruled out the possibility of departing Sporting CP this summer, although there are indications that he may opt to stay with the Portuguese club.

Should Liverpool secure Amorim’s services, there are indications that he may seek to bring one of his standout players from Lisbon with him. This prospect is somewhat unfamiliar to Liverpool, as Klopp has not typically recruited players from his former clubs during his tenure at Anfield. However, one player who has garnered considerable attention is Viktor Gyökeres.

Gyökeres has made a significant impact on Portuguese football this season. The Swedish striker joined Sporting from Coventry City last summer and has since enjoyed a remarkable run, tallying an impressive 36 goals and 16 assists in 44 appearances across all competitions.

Reports now suggest that Gyökeres could potentially follow Amorim to Liverpool. According to sources cited by HITC, Amorim is keen on bringing Gyökeres with him if he assumes the role of Liverpool’s new manager.

This proposition appears to be of interest to Gyökeres himself. His agent recently commented on his client’s future, indicating that a departure for Amorim could lead to the 25-year-old’s exit from Sporting as well. A reunion with his manager at Liverpool may hold appeal for Gyökeres.

“It doesn’t surprise me that Rúben is being linked to Liverpool, it’s normal, his work is of a high level, it’s what the clubs are looking for,” stated Gyökeres’ representative, Hasan Cetinkaya, in an interview with A Bola.

Cetinkaya further explained the dynamics of Gyökeres’ move to Sporting, highlighting the pivotal role of Amorim in the decision-making process. “Yes, it will be more difficult for Viktor to stay if Rúben Amorim leaves Sporting because Viktor came precisely because of Rúben,” he emphasized.

The agent also underscored the significance of Amorim’s coaching prowess in attracting Gyökeres to Sporting. “There were eight clubs very interested in Viktor last summer. They all paid Coventry more than Sporting, they all paid Viktor more, they all paid a higher commission to the agent. And I brought him to Sporting because of Rúben Amorim, because I know his work and his work with the players. I chose Rúben because he is a coach at another level,” Cetinkaya elaborated.

In summary, while Amorim’s potential move to Liverpool remains uncertain, the prospect of Gyökeres joining him at Anfield adds an intriguing dimension to the ongoing speculation surrounding both individuals.
