Gyokeres’ Struggles and Potential Transfer Moves

Limited Impact at Sporting

Gyokeres, aged 27, transferred to Sporting for £55 million last summer but has not yet made the expected impact, managing to net only nine goals in 27 appearances.

Berta’s Pursuits

Reports from ESPN indicate that sporting director Andrea Berta is in discussions with his former team, Atletico, regarding a potential acquisition of striker Alvarez, who is 25 years old.

Berta originally brought Alvarez from Manchester City to Atletico for an estimated €95 million and is hopeful that his connections with the Spanish club will facilitate this new deal.

Arsenal’s Interest

It has been noted that Arsenal had shown interest in securing Alvarez’s services before ultimately deciding to go with Gyokeres instead.

Competition for Alvarez

The competition to acquire the 2022 World Cup champion is expected to be intense, with both Barcelona and Chelsea reportedly interested in him.
