Sporting CP president Frederico Varandas stated that the club has not received any transfer offers for striker Viktor Gyokeres, whose contract includes a significant release clause. Despite Gyokeres' outstanding performance since joining from Coventry City, Varandas firmly rejected claims of a gentleman's agreement to allow his departure for a lower fee. He clarified that the only assurance given was that the full release clause would not be enforced. As interest from teams like Manchester United and Arsenal grows, Varandas emphasized the importance of adhering to contractual obligations.
I can guarantee that Viktor Gyokeres will not leave for 60m euros plus 10m euros because I never promised that, Varandas said.
To this day Sporting has not had an offer for Gyokeres neither today nor last season. Varandas says Gyokeres' agent sought assurances from him.
