Viktor Gyokeres' price tag has been revealed as teams from around Europe, including Manchester United, continue to be linked with a move for the Sporting Lisbon striker.
He is currently one of the most wanted players in world football. After scoring 24 goals in 19 appearances across all competitions this season, Gyokeres has been touted for a big-money transfer.
So far, the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Paris Saint Germain and Barcelona have been linked, as well as Manchester United, who are the favourites to snap up Sweden's top talisman.

In fact, Gyokeres has already made up his mind on which club he wants to join in the future, according to The Sun, who suggest he has his heart set on a reunion with former Sporting boss Ruben Amorim.
The 26-year-old certainly has plenty of options ahead of the January transfer window and his camp are considering options from across Europe.
That's according to a new report from The Athletic, who suggest there is an expectation that Gyokeres will leave Sporting at the end of the season, although a January move cannot be ruled out.

It is also claimed that the striker has a hefty €100 million [£83m] release clause in his contract at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, but Sporting are 'likely' to do business for around €70 million [£58m].
Gyokeres built a close bond with Amorim at the Portuguese club, which naturally puts United in contention if they are interested.
But that relationship is 'no guarantee' that he will favour a move to Old Trafford, according to the report, with the situation being deemed 'open' as the player and his camp consider their next move.
Before joining United, Amorim was asked about the prospect of reuniting with Gyokeres in Manchester.

"No, no, no," he replied. "I cannot be funny with that in this moment. It was tough for me to leave, if I start joking about that with Gyokeres, I’ll have problems. This is my city, this is my country, I will respect."
Amorim added: "Viktor has to stay until the end of the season and then his life is going, maybe, somewhere else."
