NafisaViktor Gyokeres has no desire to join Nottingham Forest this summer, despite the club’s push for a Champions League spot.
The Swedish striker has been in electrifying form since his move from Coventry City to Sporting CP in 2023. He has amassed an astonishing 83 goals and 25 assists across all competitions, with 40 goals and 10 assists coming this season alone.
His clinical finishing and all-around play have made him one of the most in-demand forwards in European football.

Naturally, top clubs across Europe have taken notice of his performances. Reports from the UK suggest a potential move to the Premier League, with Nottingham Forest emerging as one of the latest clubs keen on securing his signature.
However, Portuguese outlet Record has dismissed the possibility of him heading to the City Ground. Despite Forest’s impressive campaign under Nuno Espírito Santo, Gyokeres remains unconvinced. Even if the club were to clinch Champions League qualification, the 26-year-old is reportedly ‘unlikely to consider’ the move.
Gyokeres seeks Champions League football and a club with true title ambitions
For Gyokeres, European football alone isn’t enough to sway him. He wants a move to a club that can genuinely challenge for major domestic and continental honors. While Forest have shown progress, they don’t fit the profile of the project he is looking for.
Sporting are well aware of the growing interest in their star striker and are preparing for summer bids. However, any club hoping to secure his services must not only meet Sporting’s financial demands but also convince Gyokeres that they can provide him with the elite-level platform he craves.
