This winter, it was reported that the Sporting management was willing to disregard the buyout clause in Viktor Gyokere’s contract of 100 million euros and move downwards. This was before the Swede increased the intensity further, scoring two, three and four goals in the games and ending up with an extreme 54 goals in 52 games. This was also before the big clubs increased in number, hammering on the door to secure the Swede’s services.
Last spring, Record reported a price tag of around 65 million euros. Over the weekend, the first bid from Arsenal of 70 million euros was made. Done deal? Nope. The bid was quickly rejected, it is reported.
Because according to Correio da Manhã, Sporting president Frederico Varandas has realized there is more to be gained, and jacks up the price expectation to 90 million euros. This is not over.
