All you are doing is copying and pasting media speculation as fact though?

I can't remember for sure, but think the release clause was declared by Sporting when he signed. Sure it was €100m.

You have to pay a release clause up in one go if you want to pay in installments it invalidates it (as far as I'm aware)

Unless it was agreed in the contract that the release clause could be spread, Cunha it was reported it said three payments but United wanted to make five.

There are suggestions it was mutually agreed to lower it - the point is that no one actually knows

I assume that lowering the release clause wouldn't negatively affect Vik, so Sporting could lower it if they wanted, but not raise it as that could affect him.
They could hint that they might lower it to get some interest, but could then raise it again up to the stated contract amount if it suited them, which I assume is what might be happening.

Portugal and Spain have release clauses for legal and taxation reasons. Lameries had a 50m clause. However players and agents can negotiate a termination clause within the contract which is the lower amount

It looks like Manure are out of the race for Viktor as they have just signed Cunha from Wolves for £62m!

I don't think that they were ever actually in it tbh.

Cunha plays 10 & they still need a 9.

But, despite Amorim knowing him, I would still expect him to play for a team in the Champions League.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

How can they get more than his release clause?

Its not his release clause is €100m

They are in for Bryan Mbeumo now, instead by the looks of things.

Vik is going to a champions league team as a minimum. So Man U never had a chance

Clever move for Gyokeres to move to Portugal not considered in top six best leagues in Europe. Banged the goals in for two seasons with the plan to get a huge move to an elite Club and league. Will earn far more now than if he had moved directly from us unfortunately. Listen to Adi Vivesh part two who infers something very similar !

 

[Jamesimus]

Appreciate this sounds like the kind of thing I would make-up for attention, but Gyokeres is on the cover of Vogue Scandinavia

Pah, Peter Ndluvo made the cover of Women's Own in this country in relation to the mother of one of his children

 

[itsabuzzard]

If there are 2 or more parties wanting Vik then they can outbid each other providing the bids are more than the release clause surely
Or am I a feckin dimwit

No. Situation shouldn't need explanation, but you're spot on.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

No. Situation shouldn't need explanation, but you're spot on.

I would guess that in the case of two clubs bidding against each other for Vik. They will both offer the agreed "release" amount, which reports suggest is less than the stated release fee AND Vik and his agent will pocket the extra funds in a bidding war.

I think buzzard was agreeing , I'm a feckin dimwit

Its not his release clause is €100m

His release cause was lowered when he agreed to stay on till the end of the season.
He's now expected to leave for £60m

 

[wingy]

So Sporting are having their pants pulled down?.Good sort some of their arrogant fans out!!🫣🫣

His contractual release clause wasn't lowered, he had a gentleman's agreement to leave for less than it. They're not obliged to accept less than €100m

Anyone else getting fed up with this story. Can’t wait for him to move just to stop the speculation

 

[blunted]

What are all these stories saying his girlfriend does not want to move and he may be staying in Lisbon, as he loves the culture and the weather?

She will be happy in Madrid as well.

I’m sure I read somewhere that his Portuguese girlfriend is an actress.

Didn't he have a Swedish girlfriend who was a footballer when he was at city ? I think his current girlfriend was quoted as saying that she will persuade him to stay at Lisbon, no doubt because she knows if he moves then she knows he will move on from her as well.

Yeah because it'd be impossible for her to move with him.

God forbid she’d have to move with him. The relationship will never last!
