The hottest name on the football market, but still at the same address. Viktor Gyokeres has been at Sporting Lisbon since July 2023 and whoever wants to buy him will have to splash so much money. However, according to Sporting CP’s president Frederico Varandas – they still haven’t received any offer.Moreover, Varandas insists they won’t “succumb to blackmail and insults”.New Arsenal director likes Gyokeres”I want to make one thing clear – we at Sporting have common sense,” Varandas said in quotes carried by Portuguese newspaper Record. “We said two things (at the start of the season): that we would not demand €100m and that the value would depend on the performance of Viktor.”How did he perform? 63 goals, 17 assists (club and country), fantastic form, one of the best seasons in the history of Portuguese football. Even then, Sporting will not demand his release clause.##NAJAVA_MECA_8972480##”But people should know that threats, blackmail and insults will not work with me. I can guarantee one thing: Viktor Gyokeres won’t leave here for €60million plus €10m in add-ons. He won’t, and the game the agent is playing will only make the situation worse. As of now, we haven’t had one offer for him.”Gyokeres has scored 97 goals in 102 games since moving to Sporting from Coventry City in 2023. He helped them lift the Primeira Liga title last year and win a league and cup double this time around.##EDITORS_CHOICE##
