Viktor Gyökeres has been the subject of transfer rumours all summer, with Arsenal mentioned as the most likely destination in recent weeks. It is reported that talks between the clubs have been going on this week.
Despite the fact that no agreement on a transfer fee has been reached, and that Gyökeres is still a Sporting player, the Swede chose not to show up when the club started the pre-season. Nor did the 27-year-old show up for the training camp on the Algarve coast.
Now Sporting president Frederico Varandas comments on the ongoing situation.
“No one is above the club’s interests”
The president has previously been clear that the club will not let Gyökeres go unless they get exactly the amount they demand. Something he emphasizes again.
“If they don’t want to pay Viktor’s market value, we’re perfectly comfortable keeping him for the next three years”
Viktor Gyökeres has a contract with Sporting that lasts until 2028.
Varandas continues:
“If the ‘geniuses’ behind this strategy think this is putting pressure on me to ease a transfer, they are not only profoundly wrong, but they are also making the player’s departure even more complicated. No one is above the club’s interests, no matter who they are.
Hints of forced weather The
president also gives a hint that Gyökeres may be forced to stay at the club.
“We are calm. Everything will work out when the transfer window closes, with significant fines and an apology to the group.
According to A Bola, Sporting are considering raising the buyout clause of 100 million euros to become a new fixed price for Gyökeres after the Swede’s strike.
