9, with Sporting Lisbon president Frederico Varandas revealing that the Portuguese club will allow Viktor Gyokeres to leave below his asking price this summer.

The striker netted a remarkable 54 goals in 52 appearances for Sporting this season, prompting widespread interest in the 27-year-old.

Gyokeres led Sporting to another Portuguese title win this season.



Sporting has a commitment, made by the president, not to ask for the value of the termination clause and to be reasonable in relation to Viktor’s performance last season.

“If you ask me today, there is a strong possibility that Viktor will leave

Frederico Varandas spoke over the weekend about the possibility of Viktor Gyokeres leaving Sporting

Varandas’ comments seem to imply Sporting will demand a fee around the €80 million ($94M/£68M), but the president of the Portuguese champions added he will allow the player to leave for a cut-price fee.

“I won't say what the price we're asking for

“But I can guarantee that Viktor won't leave for €60+10million.

“Viktor already knows this and I want Sporting fans to know this and to take advantage of this summer, when they're two-time champions, when they've won a double, to celebrate and be at peace.

“There are only two scenarios: a club respects Viktor's fair market value and Viktor will fulfil his dream, and from that moment on we'll be ready to attack the targets, or that club doesn't want Viktor, and Viktor, with a three-year contract, stays at Sporting and we'll be very happy.”
