Sporting president makes brutally honest claim on Viktor Gyokeres’ price tag after Arsenal links
Viktor Gyokeres emerged as a wanted man in the summer transfer window but remained at Sporting CP.
The Swedish striker has a release clause worth £86m (€100m) and has alr⛦eady notched up 15 goals and assist♕s for club and country this season.
Arsenal’s interest in Gyokeres is well documented, but the Gunners didn’t pursue a move for him, with Raheem Sterling’s 🐠loan signing 👍on deadline day their only attacking reinforcement in the summer transfer window.
The 26-year-old didn’t get a move but continues to have keen admirers across Europe, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that Tottenham Hotspur have also kept tabs on Gyokeres.
And now, Sporting President Frederico Varandas has revealed exactly what the 🐼Swede feels after a transfer failed to materialise over the summer.
Viktor Gyokeres happy at Sporting amid Arsenal transfer links

As cited by Portuguese newspaper , Varandas says clubs that want to sign the strike♐r must pay his £86m release clause.
“A €100m clause and whether it can be met depends on the player’s current situation, age, and wꩲhether there is more than one club in the running.
“I’ve seen inferior players being transferred for over €100m and great players for under €100m. S🌜porting is happy to have Viktor and he is happy here. During the transfer market, there wasn’t a day without news s𒐪aying that Viktor was leaving.
“The transfer mark🌞et closed and these questions continue. But hey, we live wiꦕth it and that’s how it will be.”
Arsenal could rekindle a move for Gyokeres in 2025
Arsenal currently have enough numbers in attack but could be in the market for a bonafide goal😼scorer in the upcoming windows.
While Kai Havertz has performed admirably forᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ the club after overcoming a slow start, his tally of 13 Premier League goals last season isn’t good enough for a team competing on all 🌃fronts.
Gabriel Jesus, on the other hand, scored ju♎st four Premier League goals last season and continues to struggle with injuries🌃.
Gyokeres is one of the most lethal strikers in world football and it wouldn’t come as a big surprise if Arsenal – or any other top club in Europe – makes a move for him🌠 in the future.
