Sporting CP president firm on Viktor Gyokeres selling price

Sporting CP President Frederico Varandes has made a firm statement regarding the future of his club’s star striker — Viktor Gyokeres will not be released for less than Manchester United’s recent signing price standard.

The Swedish forward has shown impressive performance since joining Sporting CP in summer 2023 — his combination of physical strength and speed has caused difficulties for opposing defenders.

Gyokeres, now 27 years old, developed rapidly under Ruben Amorim before the coach moved to Manchester United — his penalty execution abilities and sharpness in front of goal are significant advantages.

Manchester United and Arsenal have emerged as leading candidates to secure the Swedish striker’s signature in this summer’s transfer window — although the player is open to a move, Sporting CP remains adamant about setting a price above his release clause.
