Viktor Gyökeres is attracting attention from several top European clubs as 2025 approaches, with reports suggesting that Sporting Lisbon may be open to selling their star striker. With multiple suitors for the Swedish forward, could Paris Saint-Germain turn their focus to other potential No. 9 options?
According to Foot Mercato, PSG’s sporting advisor, Luís Campos, has expressed interest in Gyökeres and has already started talks with the player’s representatives. However, discussions with coach Luis Enrique have raised concerns about how well Gyökeres would fit into the team.
This uncertainty could prompt PSG to consider other striker options that better align with Enrique’s vision. Fichajes reported over the weekend that the Spanish boss views Newcastle’s Alexander Isak as an ideal fit for his project. The striker’s speed, technical ability, and finishing skills are qualities that would suit Enrique’s offensive system.
The Spanish outlet also notes that Newcastle is unlikely to part with him easily, but PSG is reportedly prepared to offer nearly €100 million, which could tempt the English club to reconsider.
What’s the latest on Alexander Isak contract extension?
The Athletic reports that Newcastle staff feel Isak has yet to reach his full potential. As a result, it explains why the Ligue 1 side want to secure the player as one of the strikers at Enrique’s disposal.
Amid the rumors linking Isak to a potential departure, former Aston Villa standout Dwight Yorke spoke about the gossip and urged one Premier League club to splash the cash to secure the player.
“If Arsenal want to win the Premier League title, they should go to Newcastle and bang £100m on the table for Isak as soon as the January transfer window opens,” Yorke said.
“I think the kid looks really good whenever I see him play. He does all the right things properly. He’s a threat. He would score so many goals playing for Arsenal.”
In 18 appearances across all competitions, Isake has scored 11 goals while recording four assists for the Magpies this 2024-25 season.
