After a solid comeback this season, Chelsea are aiming to strengthen their squad in the upcoming January transfer window. Their improved performances have pushed them into the top four of the Premier League, and with an eye on securing a spot in next season’s Champions League, new signings are becoming a priority.
Fans are excited about the possibility of signing Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres, who currently plays for Sporting Club in Portugal. Rumors from Portugal suggested that Chelsea had submitted an 80 million euro offer for the striker. However, reports indicate that Chelsea has not made any official proposal to Sporting. To further disappoint fans, Chelsea has confirmed that they are not definite about signing Gyökeres, at least not this transfer season. Gyökeres also has an eye-watering 100 million euro release clause in his contract, and Sporting are unwilling to negotiate for now.
Gyökeres has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 18 goals and providing 2 assists in 16 Liga Portugal matches. In addition, he has found the net 5 times in just 6 Champions League appearances. With his impressive performances, it will be interesting to see where Gyökeres will end up next season.
