Manchester City have completed the signing of Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP in a deal worth £55 million. The transfer ends weeks of speculation, with multiple European powerhouses chasing the 26-year-old forward, who had an outstanding season in Portugal.

However, it was Pep Guardiola’s project that ultimately won him over, with Gyökeres reportedly turning down interest from 14 different clubs, including top sides in the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, and La Liga.Gyökeres, known for his physical presence, work rate, and clinical finishing, becomes the latest addition to City’s ever-evolving attack.

The striker netted over 30 goals last season for Sporting and had been on the radar of clubs like Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and AC Milan.

However, despite the flood of offers, Gyökeres made it clear from the beginning: if he was leaving Sporting, it was only for Manchester City.

This loyalty and clarity surprised many within the football community.Sources close to the player have revealed that Gyökeres was won over not by money, but by a detailed presentation Pep Guardiola himself gave during a private video call.

In it, Guardiola reportedly showed how Gyökeres would fit perfectly into the team’s style, using clips from previous games to highlight tactical movements. That personal touch from the City boss made all the difference, with the striker stating he had “never felt more valued” by a manager before even signing.

City fans are buzzing with excitement as the signing is seen as a strategic move to boost depth in the forward line. With Erling Haaland dealing with minor injury concerns in recent months and Julian Alvarez also attracting interest from abroad, Gyökeres could play a vital role in City’s upcoming campaign across all competitions.

His dynamic playing style adds a new dimension to City’s attacking options and offers Guardiola more flexibility up front.The signing sends a strong message ahead of the 2025/26 season—Manchester City are not only focused on retaining their domestic dominance but also pushing harder for European glory.

Gyökeres’ commitment to join the club despite widespread interest elsewhere shows the magnetic pull of the Guardiola project. Now, all eyes will be on how the Swedish international adapts to the Premier League and what impact he can make in the City blue.
