Viktor Moving on (4 Viewers)

AFCCOVENTRY · Monday at 10:19 AM

Looks like a bidding war is starting with Vik. This is good news. Sporting actually want €90m. Athletico Madrid would be a a good choice for Vik.

After a year of speculation, the question of where Viktor Gyökeres, 26, will play next season is starting to get serious. The goal-scorer will apparently leave Sporting this summer and clubs are lining up.

Recently, the most talked about thing has been Arsenal and Juventus. Now another club has joined the hunt.

Record reports that Atlético Madrid have put Gyökeres at the top of their shopping list. Coach Diego Simeone has told the club management that he wants the Swedish top scorer. The price tag should not be a problem since this year's La Liga third-placed team has qualified for the Champions League and has signed a new lucrative deal with Nike.

The problem is apparently more the competition for the striker.

Record repeats the price tag that was frequently mentioned this spring: Gyökeres is for sale for around 65 million euros (just over 705 million kronor). However, Correio da Manhã reports that Sporting president Frederico Varandas hopes to get up to €90 million (around SEK 980 million) for the Swede, and according to the newspaper, Sporting rejected an initial bid from Arsenal of €70 million (SEK 760 million) this weekend.

In recent days, there have been reports that Napoli have set their sights on Gyökeres. Corriero dello Sport points out that it is more like a dream considering the price and "crazy competition".

How can they get more than his release clause?

Surely a release clause is just the minimum they need to accept?

If somebody bids more then of course they can take it?

steve cooper · Monday at 11:26 AM

As far as I can tell, what's being offered at the moment is below his contractual release clause. There is something in the back of my mind that they offered him a new contract a while back with a new release clause of 100M euros. Whether that went ahead ??

Once the release price has been triggered, he can leave for any club he wants to join who will pay that.

Exactly. If it's a release clause, they have to accept, so offering more would be lunacy.

It would be personal terms there would be a bidding war on.

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

No - once both teams meet the clause they can both negotiate with Gyokeres. It’s up to the player then.

Hutch11 · Monday at 12:35 PM

So if Arsenal bid the release clause and to secure the player Atletico add to it by £1m and are willing to pay his required wages Sporting aren't going to say no to the extra dough though are they?

Alkhen · Monday at 12:36 PM

I thought the release clause was higher but Sporting had lowered their expectations as a thanks for him not pushing for a move in January?

Ccfcisparks · Monday at 12:39 PM

Agent would probably tell him to go to the higher, dont they get a cut of the transfer fee?

I’ve not really noticed any real interest from Liverpool, though obviously that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
Think he’d probably do well there.

Wouldn't be up to sporting it would be up to Gyökeres where he went

But if Vik opts for Arsenal he is free to do that, so there is no point Atletico offering Sporting more. At that point they need to offer Vik a package that is attractive to him

No they would only need to meet the release clause.

They would then be trying to outbid each other with the personal terms they are offering to Gyokeres

Only way I can see him going for more than the release is if the release require all or most of the fee to be paid up front. A club then may opt to pay more than the release but spread payments out over longer time period.

Didn’t Chelsea offer a team more than the release clause because they wanted to spread it over a million years, I read then Wolves and United couldn’t agree over the length of payments for Cunha as well.

No but Gyokerese can say stuff Atletico I'm going to Arsenal. So Atletico gained nothing by offereing higher than the release clause

Of course not, but they can't say no to the release clause, either.

It'd be like asking how much a Snickers bar cost, being told £1, and then saying, 'cool, cheers, here's £1.50'.

Apart from there's only one Snickers, and lots of people are trying to persuade it why they are the best person to eat it.

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)

That’s my understanding. The contract hasn’t changed.

Sky Blue Goblin · Monday at 1:30 PM

I remember his release clause being €100 million but there were happy to reduce it this summer, sounds like there asking for lower bids to start a bidding war

Viktor Gyökeres, the Swedish striker currently playing for Sporting CP, has a release clause set at €100 million (£83.6 million) in his contract . However, reports suggest that Sporting CP may be willing to negotiate a transfer fee closer to €70–85 million (£58.5–70.7 million), depending on the circumstances .

I reckon the arsenal "deal" was leaked to whip up interest.

THe longer into the window this goes, the more he goes for imo

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