On Friday, May 30, Inter Milan icon Wesley Sneijder weighed in on the burgeoning transfer saga surrounding Viktor Gyokeres, naming Real Madrid as the ideal destination for the in-demand striker this summer.
Gyokeres, Sporting Lisbon’s prolific forward, has captured Europe’s attention after an extraordinary season in Portugal, finishing with an impressive 51 goals in 53 appearances.
The 26-year-old Sweden international is reportedly available for a transfer fee of around £58 million, with Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea among the clubs closely monitoring his situation.
Yet, Sneijder believes Gyokeres should carefully consider a club that complements his style of play. Speaking to Metro via BetMGM, Sneijder said: “You have to pick a team which works for your playing style. At the moment, maybe Real [should consider signing him]. If it allows Kylian Mbappe to move back to the left then maybe it’s a perfect match.”
Sneijder’s endorsement adds an intriguing layer to the summer transfer market, highlighting Real Madrid’s potential role in shaping Gyokeres’ next career move.
