Atlético dreams of Gyokeres: Nike to the rescue?
Atlético de Madrid is already planning for next season, and with possible departures in the forward line, Viktor Gyokeres is emerging as one of the main targets. The Swedish striker, a sensation in Europe after a spectacular season with Sporting Lisbon, has sparked interest from the ‘Colchoneros’.
With an impressive goalscoring record, Gyokeres has become one of the most sought-after names on the market, although his price is not low. The ‘Rojiblanco’ club, aware of the difficulty of the operation, is looking for a strategic ally to make the signing possible: Nike.
The renewal of the sponsorship with the sports brand until 2035 has strengthened the relationship and could be key. Nike sees Gyokeres as a valuable asset and would be willing to collaborate to prevent the player from joining a team sponsored by the competition.
Rumor has it that the brand could even bear part of the cost of the signing, which would be a major boost to Atlético’s aspirations. Competition for the striker is fierce, with clubs like Arsenal showing strong interest.
However, the fact that the main rivals are sponsored by Adidas could play in favor of Atlético and its partner, Nike. The ‘Colchonero’ fans dream of seeing Gyokeres defending the red and white at the Metropolitano, driven by the magic of the goal and the backing of a strategic alliance.
