The **Viktor Gyökeres** situation is on the verge of a complete breakdown. The Swedish forward is reportedly furious with Sporting`s president, Frederico Varandas, and according to A Bola, is seriously considering not attending the pre-season training camp scheduled for July 1st. This extreme decision – described as an `atomic bomb` – aims to force a transfer that was allegedly promised last summer but never materialised.
The core issue is financial: the club is demanding 80 million euros, while agent Hasan Cetinkaya asserts there`s a written clause allowing the player to leave for an offer of 60 million. Varandas has publicly reiterated that he “will not yield to threats or blackmail,” and the club`s rigid position has further angered the player, who has reportedly already sent direct messages to the president expressing his displeasure.
Meanwhile, Arsenal and Juventus are monitoring the situation. The English club has reportedly sounded out Sporting with an offer of 55+10 million euros, while the Bianconeri are waiting to first sell Vlahović. Gyökeres arrived from Coventry in 2023 for 24 million, scoring 97 goals across two seasons, winning two league titles and one Portuguese Cup. His contract runs until 2028 and includes a 100 million euro release clause. However, his desire is clear: he no longer wants to wear the Sporting shirt.
