Sporting are doing exceptionally well this season. They follow up last season’s Primeira gold with a troubled 11 straight wins this season and impressive victories in the Champions League, including overtaking Manchester City.
It is not certain that Manchester United will land a deal with Viktor Gyökeres or they will have the opportunity to wait until the summer to make a big offer to Sporting. – 27.7% owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has signalled they will not spend money as politicians in an election campaign next year.

Moreover, newly appointed manager Ruben Amorim has promised not to bring in Sporting players until the summer, a promise that Newcastle, Barcelona, Juvenuts, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain have not made or have no reason to give.
If I were to look into the glass ball for next year, Sporting, due to its success both in Portugal and in the Champions League, will be the club that sells players for the most in Europe next year.
Danish midfielder Morten Hjulmand is wanted by several clubs in the Premier League, but first and foremost by Bayer Leverkusen’s manager Xabi Alonso.
And not to forget super talent Geovany Quenda is only 17 years young, but he had a natural place in the starting eleven for Amorim and Sporting when they hosted Manchester City in the Champions League and played their way to a 4-1 victory with an assist from Quenda.

A Bola has Viktor Gyökeres on the cover. But this time it’s not about goal records, but about a “Gyökere’s alarm”. But one has to do with the other.
In line with Gyökere’s progress, interest in him has grown in recent weeks, according to A Bola’s information. Therefore, Sporting has been forced to come up with a contingency plan.
The hope is still to keep Gyökeres until the summer, something the Swede is also prepared for. Sporting have repeatedly said that just the €100 million buyout clause could lead to the club releasing Gyökeres in January.
The striker is top of three leagues: Primeira Liga, Champions League and Nations League. He has scored a whopping 32 goals in 24 games this season.
