ON ONE CONDITION’- Victor Gyokeres finally reveals the only condition that will make Him join Manchester United by January

Victor Gyokeres Discusses the Terms for Joining Manchester United by January**
Manchester City is reportedly making plans to replace its outgoing director of football, Txiki Begiristain, with the same individual who facilitated Manchester United-linked Victor Gyokeres’ move to Sporting CP in Portugal.

Begiristain, aged 60, is anticipated to leave his role at City at the conclusion of this season. However, his successor is expected to start transitioning into the position early next year, with a six-month period planned for a smooth handover. Sources indicate that an agreement is already in place with the prospective successor, who is well-regarded in European football.

Hugo Viana is viewed as the top candidate for the role, and football analyst Fabrizio Romano suggests that City aims to appoint Viana as the new director of football. This potential appointment could complicate Manchester United’s prospects of acquiring Gyokeres in future transfer windows, primarily due to Viana’s existing relationship with the striker.

Viana has been at Sporting for six years and played a crucial role in bringing Gyokeres from Coventry City, where the striker had been competing in the Championship. Viana personally traveled to England last year to complete the transfer. After Gyokeres’ inaugural season in Portugal, Viana expressed his contentment, stating, “We are happy with him” after what he termed an “excellent” debut season.

Despite this positivity, Viana acknowledged the unpredictable nature of football, conceding that “an offer may or may not come” for the striker. While no substantial offers materialized over the summer, Viana might consider pursuing Gyokeres if he transitions to Manchester City.

With City having sold Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid this summer and not replacing him, the club currently lacks a solid back-up for Erling Haaland. Thus, it’s plausible that City could reinvest the £82 million received from Atletico by potentially activating the £84 million release clause in Gyokeres’ contract. This possibility increases if Viana, upon joining City, decides to utilize his connection with the striker to facilitate a transfer.

Victor Gyökeres, the Swedish striker who recently moved from Coventry City to Sporting CP, has become a topic of interest for Manchester United, particularly as they explore a potential move for him in the January transfer window. However, the situation might be complicated by developments at Manchester City. Reports suggest that Manchester City’s outgoing director of football, Txiki Begiristain, could be replaced by Hugo Viana, who was instrumental in Gyökeres’ transfer to Sporting CP.

Viana, highly regarded in European football, has built a strong relationship with Gyökeres during his time at Sporting. Should Viana take on the role at Manchester City, this connection may work in City’s favor, especially as they are in need of a backup striker following the sale of Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid. City might even consider triggering Gyökeres’ £84 million release clause, using the funds from Alvarez’s sale, thus complicating Manchester United’s pursuit of the striker. Viana has hinted that while Sporting is happy with Gyökeres’ performance, the unpredictable nature of football could lead to offers, leaving United with competition from their city rivals.
