Gyokeres: The Forgotten Football Prince…

Once upon a time in the whimsical land of football transfers, where unicorns dribble and managers are magicians, Viktor Gyokeres’ agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, found himself in a pickle as sour as a lemon in a vinegar bath. The mighty Red Devils of Manchester, who are currently tiptoeing on the clouds after snapping up Bryan Mbeumo for the price of a small island, have shown zero interest in the dazzling striker Gyokeres, despite his magical feet and impressive goal-scoring records.

Like a forgotten fairy tale prince, Gyokeres, with 66 goals in 68 matches under the wizardry of Ruben Amorim at Sporting CP, looks set to swoop into Arsenal’s arms instead. Meanwhile, Manchester United, on a mission to declutter their football kingdom, have no intention of sending love letters to Portugal. “Not today, Cupid!” they said, as they reinforced a wall around their striker department with the humor of a Monty Python sketch.

Feeling about as appreciated as a dentist at a candy store, agent Hasan Cetinkaya is swirling in the whirlpool of anguish and indignation. With tears streaming faster than a winger on a breakaway, Cetinkaya recalls how he once orchestrated Gyokeres’ journey to Amorim’s Sporting—a tale that now feels as distant as a defender’s memory of a clean sheet. Alas, the transfer saga rolls on, with United’s castle gates firmly shut and Cetinkaya’s friendship bracelet returned unanswered.
