Sporting has not received any proposal for the Swedish, guarantees Varandas, who has given two certainties today: lions will not require the termination clause for the advanced services – but Gyökeres also “does not go out for 60 million plus 10”.
Viktor Gyökeres will not play again for Sporting Clube de Portugal. With three years for complying with the contract, the Swedish striker will have already directly informed the Leonine Administration that does not intend to wear Sporting’s jersey again.
With strong shots at the agent of the best scorer of the lions, Frederick Balconies defended themselvesthis Wednesday, of the accusations made against SAD Leonina in the controversy to involve the striker Swedish that begins to become an authentic novel.
The alleged promise
The “Swedish Hurricane” will have been “furious” with the refusal of proposals under 70 million euros. According to the newspaper, Gyökeres feels defrauded by the breaking of alleged promises made by the Leonine direction at the beginning of the season. At stake, the money by which the lions star could eventually leave Alvalade.
In a meeting after the game against the French Lille in September, it was verbally agreed that the Swedish could come out before a proposal for 60 million euros, plus 10 million by objectivesthe sports newspaper – a value far below the termination clause of 100 million euros in the Gyökeres contract.
The promise will have been reinforced through written and audio messages sent to Swedish entrepreneur Hasan çentikaya, but everything will have changed with the opening of the summer market. Faced with proposals from giants such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Juventus and Al Hilal, the SAD Leonine administration will have set the sales price of the striker in 80 million eurosthey realized the player’s entrepreneurs to Record.
Balconies hits the foot: “With me, no”
This Tuesday, the president of Sporting did not give in to what he considers “blackmail” and showed authority: “Gyökeres does not go out for 60 million plus 10”.
“Sporting will not require the termination clause, but I should know me better: threats, blackmail, offenses, with me don’t work with me. One thing I can guarantee: Viktor Gyökeres does not go out for 60 million plus 10. It doesn’t come out, because I never allowed it, and with this game that the agent is making only worsens the situation, ”threw balconies.
And the president recalled: “To this day, Sporting has not had a single proposal” for the Swedish“Neither today nor last summer.”
Which “was closed” and what was not
“One of the agent’s great concerns [de Gyökeres] It was if for the year [este verão] We would require the 100 million clause, set by all agreement. ”Balconies admit that “It was closed” That Sporting would not require the 100 million euros termination clause in this summer market “because I knew the player was going to be 27 years old, and no 27 -year -old leaves Portugal for 100 or 90 million.” The president clarifies:
“At this meeting, the agent wanted to anchor the departure to a value. I said this sentence: ‘It is not worth fixing a value because I do not know what will happen within the year, if there will be an injury, if it will do a disappointing time. I don’t know if it will be 40, 60 or 80 [milhões]will depend on the performance. What I can guarantee is that I won’t require 100 million, end point. From here I never talked to the agent, I never talked to the player about exit or values, passed 10 months and now I see in the press the agent to debit information here and there, ”defends the sportinguista leader, quoted by the newspaper.
Prior to Varandas, already near Sporting administration had been pronounced for Record and assured that a concrete value for the player’s departure was never defined: there would be only flexibility for a sale below the termination clause, they admit. Now, the player will have even left the guarantee that he will not use the lion on his chest if the alleged September commitment is not honored.
On vacation and in silence publicly, the “Swedish hurricane” has given, however, some signs of breaking with Sporting. This week, he removed the reference to the club he had in the description of his Instagram profile, which was understood by many as a subtle sign that he is departure from Alvalade.
Rui Borges also chose not to comment on the case: “I’m on vacation, I’m not about to talk about it,” he told journalists from Mirandela.
The 27 -year -old striker Swedish made the best time of his career this year: with 63 goals in 58 games, he narrowly won the gold boot (went to Frenchman Kylian Mbappé)
