Liverpool has officially entered the race for Viktor Gyökeres. They’re joining Arsenal and Manchester United as contenders after their failed pursuit of Alexander Isak .
Liverpool has reportedly contacted Sporting CP about Gyökeres, originally valued at around €80 million, and are competing with Arsenal who’ve already had a £55.3 million offer rejected .
Manager Arne Slot wants a top-class striker for Liverpool’s title defence, viewing Gyökeres as a prime target—especially with Darwin Núñez likely to depart .

Player conflict: Gyökeres is reportedly in dispute with Sporting’s president and considering skipping preseason—a situation that could accelerate his exit .
