Viktor Gyokeres came into conflict with his leadership Sporting Lisbon, who would not have respected a promise made at the beginning of the year. The 27-year-old Swedish striker hopes to go to the team paying 65 million euros, but now the Portugal champion announces that he does not let him go for 80 million, the termination clause being 100 million!
It is a scandal in Lisbon after Viktor Gyokeres learned that Sporting has changed on the price for its transfer in the summer. The Portugal champion is trying to make the maximum profit from the selling of the goalscorer who surprised Europe in the last season.
It all started from the fact that Sporting's bosses changed their plans for the amount for which they would be willing to break away from the Scandinavian international with 26 selections and 15 goals.
Great discount at Gyokeres' 100 million clause!
Viktor Gyokeres was promised that the Lusitan group will not keep the amount stipulated for terminating its contract due in 2028, ie 100 million euros. And that he will immediately receive “green wave” at the transfer if a proposal of 65 million comes.

Customers found themselves pretty quickly and not few, given that the Swedish peak scored 54 goals in 52 matches played in Sporting in 2024-2025! The list includes clubs in the Premier League (Arsenal and Manchester United) and series A (Juventus), the price being quite accessible.

“It is false that I promised him he would leave! I do not reach 70 million”
Only, by anticipating a possible auction, Sporting has lifted the Financial Barem and transmitted that it will only discuss the transfer to over 80 million! The announcement was terribly angry on Gyokeres, who threatened to soon make disclosures that will pour gas over the fire.
President Frederico Varandas, however, contradicts Viktor and has another variant of the facts: “It is not true that I promised that he will leave. 70 million will not be sufficient to sell.”
The Swedish response came urgently. He deleted any reference to Sporting Lisbon on his profile on Instagram and then posted an aggressive story: “There is much talk, but most of the things said are lies! When the right time will come!”.
