Given how big this deal will be for Vik, I'm assuming any delay is purely over personal terms. He's bloody well earnt it!

I really think the premiership teams made a massive mistake not taking a punt on him from us...

£20 million is nothing for them 12 months ago... Easy gamble...

Good luck to him, I hope he scores a hatful for whoever he goes to (as long as it's not the scum)

Exchange rate wouldn’t impact them per se as the release clause is sent in stone at €100m.

Prem teams did want him. How we ended up with Simms was partly down to the negotiations for Vik. It was Vik and his camp chose Sporting as their preferred destination. He’s got better exposure in a league that’s developed elite players with (supposedly) elite coach with guaranteed European football. Compare that to slogging it out at Wolves, Everton or West Ham. Probably wouldn’t have attracted the same interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and the likes.

At the time I doubted his ambition but his career plan has been top work. Fair play to our team for negotiating such a good deal from a relatively week position.

Surely its nailed on he moves in the next few weeks, what it changes for us immediately is anyone's guess. Nothing would shock me about what King is up or who he is talking too.

Would be good for us if he moves obviously, but the only concern is how long is left in the window.
Even if we have someone in mind on the chance Vik moves and we get the sell on money, if we come in with a week left on the market you know damn well the other club will up their price.

If Arsenal is his potential destination, then the delay in any move might be attributed to the failure for the Nketiah deal to Marseille to go through?

Hope we're not reading too much into it but there's some promising signs pointing to him moving on.

- Few articles about the percentage we're owed coming down to 10%
- Different teams linked to him
- Arsenal completing there first bits of business in moving on Smith-Rowe and bringing in Califiori.
- Radio silence on our own business suggest but Doug and Mark both hinting we weren't done yet.
- Saudi teams starting to make moves to get the cash flowing through the European markets again.

What about say a two cents increase in the value of the euro, quite a big impact on on the total value and obviously our cut?

The value to them is €100m regardless of exchange rate, Increase value of the Euro increases the cost to the buyer but decreases the payment to CCFC

Can't believe Arsenal haven't done it already tbh. They are crying out for a number 9 of his mould and it could push them over the edge into champions.

The release clause has been known for a while. I'm surprised it's nearly August and they've not got him in the building.

Maybe they've had to sell first ? There have been some FFP concerns regarding the club.

Around £8.1m if the Arsenal offer wins!!

Why can't people do maths on here?

We sold him for 20m EUR. Release clause 100m EUR. We're now entitled to 10% of the profit.

(100-20)*0.1 = 8m EUR ~ £6.7m

That's the maximum we're getting.

That 2.5 m is separate from the 10% sell on, That was from clauses such as goals scored

We would've had most of that a while ago for the goals/appearances target. It's only this £800k fee we've received recently. Anyway, I thought you were only talking about the money we will receive from a future transfer.

No one knows what the exact amount is, as far as I can see.

Another web site saying it's 2.5M to be paid in two instalments.
It's all guesswork as far as I can see.

Tell me about it. My son and his mates go busking in Stratford, and my cut (as 'driver/'roadie') is to keep any foreign currency. 50% of it is Euros, 25% American coinage, the rest Peru, Mexico, Scandinavian etc (all, except Euros, totally useless to me!)

Well taking the guesswork out of it, the maximum in total we are going to receive for Gyokeres is:

20m EUR base fee + 4m EUR clauses + 8m EUR sell on fee = 32m EUR/27m GBP

The maximum we could receive this summer is 12m EUR/10m GBP (clauses + sell on) - but some of that was likely received last season due to hitting goal/appearance targets.

This will change if he signs a new contract with a higher release clause. And obviously they may sell for less than his 100m EUR release clause this summer.

I have my doubts as to whether he’s good enough to be a real top class prem striker. He’s done well in the champ and in a middling league. Still, I’ll not care as long as we get a load of cash.

Here's a thought.
Gyokeres to Arsenal or Liverpool for 80M
Haji Wright to Sporting Lisbon for 20M+
That would bring us nearly 30M
Just my imagination running away.
