Several forwards are currently being linked with Liverpool, including Viktor Gyokeres, Pedro Neto, Michael Olise, and Nico Williams. Gyokeres, a Swedish striker, has been in top form for Sporting CP this season, scoring 36 goals in 43 club games. Should Liverpool secure his current manager, this could potentially increase their chances of signing Gyokeres.
Another potential prospect is Pedro Neto, a forward currently contracted with Wolves. Additionally, Michael Olise, who has been targeted despite his season being plagued by injuries, is another player under Liverpool’s radar. Nico Williams, a 21-year-old forward from Athletic Bilbao, is also being considered due to his impressive form in La Liga.
Furthermore, Liverpool may also be considering a move for Florian Wirtz, who is impressing at Bayer Leverkusen and previously was a target for Liverpool. Wirtz celebrated a top-flight league title with the club and is known for his goal-scoring ability. Talks have reportedly commenced with Sporting CP regarding potential transfers, as Liverpool is aiming to secure deals early in the summer.
However, Sporting’s current manager, Anorim, has not disclosed any information about his future, emphasizing his focus on Sporting’s ongoing title charge in the Primeira Liga.
