Sporting Issue Fresh Statement over Gyokeres Amid Transfer Uncertainty
- Sporting Lisbon President Frederico Varandas stated that striker Viktor Gyokeres, under contract until June 2028, will not leave for €60 million plus €10 million in add-ons this summer.
- This firm stance follows Arsenal and Manchester United's significant summer spending and their linked interest in Gyokeres, with Sporting refusing to lower their asking price despite Gyokeres' preference for Arsenal.
- Varandas highlighted comparable transfers like Zubimendi for €65 million and Matheus Cunha for €75 million to justify Gyokeres' valuation, emphasizing Sporting's confidence in keeping their prized forward if offers do not meet demands.
- Varandas mentioned that if no club expresses interest in Viktor, the player will remain at Sporting on his existing three-year deal, which the club would welcome.
- The firm position suggests Sporting expects interested clubs to bid around €80 million for Gyokeres, signaling ongoing transfer uncertainty and potentially prompting Manchester United to explore alternative targets.
