Erling Haaland continues to be the main offensive reference for Manchester City, but his long-term continuity at the English club is not guaranteed. Despite his impressive performance, with goals that have led the team to conquer major titles, the future of the Norwegian forward at Etihad Stadium is uncertain. Faced with this situation, the club led by Pep Guardiola is already looking for alternatives in case of a potential departure of Haaland. The name that resonates the most as his possible replacement is Viktor Gyökeres, the Swedish forward of Sporting de Portugal who has emerged strongly in the European scene.

Viktor Gyökeres, the ideal replacement for Erling Haaland

Gyökeres, who has left an indelible mark on Portuguese football, has stood out as one of the most prolific forwards in the continent. Last season, the Swede achieved the impressive figure of 43 goals, which did not go unnoticed by the top European clubs. This season, Gyökeres has maintained his level and has already scored 12 goals so far, confirming his scoring ability and consistency, characteristics that have caught the attention of Manchester City as a potential replacement for Haaland.

The possibility of Haaland leaving Manchester City in the near future has created some uncertainty in the club, and Guardiola does not want to be caught off guard by a possible departure of the Norwegian star without a backup plan. Gyökeres, with his physical style and ability to play with his back to goal, seems to be the right profile to fit into the Catalan coach's playing style. At 26 years old, the Swedish forward is at the peak of his career, and his signing could ensure a quality transition in the Citizens' attack.

Gyökeres' arrival at City will depend largely on what happens with Haaland's future. If the Norwegian decides to seek new challenges away from Manchester, the sports management already has its possible replacement well identified. The figure of the Swedish forward at Sporting is growing rapidly, and he could be the next big name in the Premier League if Haaland and City's paths part ways.
