Former player Wesley Sneijder has urged Viktor Gyokeres to join Real Madrid instead of Arsenal or Manchester United. He believes that the striker would help move Kylian Mbappe back to the left wing, where he plays his best game.
Speaking to Metro, Sneijder said Gyokeres should consider a move to Real Madrid, as it is the right time for him to make the jump. He added that the striker would do better at Santiago Bernabeu than Arsenal and Manchester United, saying:
He added:
The striker, who has been linked with Manchester United and Arsenal this summer, is open to making the switch from Sporting CP. His current contract expires in 2028. In the 2024-25 season, Gyokeres recorded 54 goals and 13 assists in 52 games across competitions.
Jamie O’Hara also spoke about Viktor Gyokeres earlier this season and opined that the striker would be ideal at Real Madrid. Speaking to Grosvenor Sport in November 2024, O’Hara said (via Khel Now):
Arsenal and Manchester United are pushing to sign the Sporting CP star this summer as they look to bolster their attack. The forward scored 39 goals and assisted eight times in 33 Liga Portugal games in the 2024-25 season.
