Sporting CP’s manager, Rúben Amorim, has made it clear that striker Viktor Gyokeres will remain at the club through January unless his substantial release clause is met. Amidst speculation linking the forward with a move to Premier League clubs, Amorim stated that the player would only depart if his buyout clause, set at €100 million, is paid.
Gyokeres’ Future at Sporting CP
The Swedish striker has been the subject of transfer rumours, with several top-flight English teams reportedly interested in securing his services. However, Amorim’s recent comments suggest that Sporting is not willing to negotiate any transfer for Gyokeres unless the release clause is activated.
The club’s stance puts pressure on interested parties to meet the financial demands if they wish to pry Gyokeres away from the Portuguese outfit during the January transfer window. Sporting’s firm position indicates their desire to retain the player’s talents unless a significant investment is made.
