Viktor Gyokeres Transfer Drama: Latest Developments and Social Media Response
The transfer saga surrounding Viktor Gyokeres has taken an intriguing turn, following comments from Sporting president Frederico Varandas regarding the striker’s market valuation. The 27-year-old has emerged as a key target for top Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal, and it seems he has responded to Varandas’ remarks with a pointed message on social media.
On Wednesday, Varandas dismissed reports suggesting that Sporting had agreed to accept a fee as low as £57 million for Gyokeres this summer. While he clarified that the Portuguese champions wouldn’t enforce Gyokeres’ £85 million release clause, he emphasized that no agreement was made with his agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, during their meeting last summer. Varandas urged potential suitors to increase their offers, making it clear that Gyokeres would not be leaving for the rumored price.
This statement comes in light of reports from Portugal indicating that Gyokeres is frustrated with Sporting’s attempts to renegotiate their previously established asking price. Sources suggest that the striker has informed the club that he will not play for them again due to what he perceives as disrespect, effectively going on strike to secure a transfer.
In response to the ongoing speculation, Gyokeres took to his Instagram story, stating: “There is a lot of talk at the moment, most of it is false. I will speak when the time is right.” This cryptic message has left fans and followers eager for more clarity on his future.
