The rent situation is (at a minimum) 10 times more important than Vik's transfer.

Do you actually think our entire summer recruitment strategy hinges on the sale of Vik?

No. But we'll have significantly more flexibility in the transfer market if he moves, and moves quickly, as there will be less of a reliance to move players on to free up budget for others to come in.

Juve apparently offered Vik a deal worth £11m a year.

It's not what Juve offer him, it is about what Juve offer Sporting.

Apparently, they're putting a 60m bid in

I think it becomes a bit of a game of chicken, this is sort of Sporting's model and Benfica's too. They likely actively want to sell Gyok despite the pain it will cause, so if Gyok really is focused on a Premiership team with Champion's League, it's going to be drawn out and ugly unless they meet or exceed other bidders.

I look forward to lots more posturing and bullshit for the next few weeks/months.

Viktor Gyokeres: Sporting striker will not leave for £59m - club president

Sporting have not received an offer for striker Viktor Gyokeres and there is no 'gentleman's agreement' for him to leave for £59m, says club president Frederico Varandas.

Yep, just read that…potentially looking to force a move away. Seems like sporting may have gone back and their word somewhat.

Forcing his way out, club owner won't sell low... i would say it could get ugly but so many clubs need a top striker and there are so few available these days, i think this might go well for us.

So has he, he was happy enough when he signed the original contract.

He did the same with us as well. It's not exactly a good look for him.

Sporting were of course happy to go along with it but thankfully King is quite a strong owner who held out for what he wanted. I don't have sympathy for them but for our sake I hope they get the maximum they can.

I suspect it's more his agency rather than him to be honest.

They're clearly incredibly aggressive in their approach.

Yes, but they still represent him, so it’s a hand and glove situation.

Obviously. I'm just contextualising. It's wrong to suggest it's just him as that's not how the industry works.

But it’s a two way street. Buying clubs want the cheapest deal, selling clubs want to get as much as possible. Players want security until it suits them.

Yep but I guess if someone has told him, “we’ll sell you for x amount next year if you stay for one more season” then he might be miffed. I’m sure he’d have done the same to us if we’d gone back on the reassurances we gave him.

well Sporting published a different version of that one. Anyway it seems verbal rather than a change in the contract, so the contract he signed is still there. I am sure both sides will compromise in the end.

He'll say he wants a move.

How they go about facilitating said move will be entirely their doing. That's their job and ultimately what they're paid to do. I doubt he has very little involvement beyond saying he wants to leave.

Which to be honest is incredibly naive by Gyokeres and his agency.

Clearly no one learned anything from the Harry Kane / Spurs / Man City saga?

I doubt they can say he will go on strike unless he has said, he will go on strike.

Blimey, I wonder what methods they’re using to force him to say he could go on strike.

Who do you think would've advised him to go on strike in the first place?

You're giving a lot of credit to Gyokeres by thinking he'll be masterminding his own exit.

As mentioned though it's not Gyokeres masterminding their own exit which you seemed to infer. He'll be heeding the advice of his agency.

It's really not hard to actually figure that out.

Yeah and that he approves of their approach. The idea of it all being down to the big bad agents is just naive.

I’ve never claimed they’re the ‘big bad’ agents. On the contrary, if they manage to secure a move for him, they’ve successfully done what they’re paid to do.

Gyokeres will inevitably be approving whatever his agent suggests as he wants a move. It's a bit ridiculous to think he solely has the knowhow to orchestrate it on his own which should be fairly obvious.

Nobody has suggested he was working independently though.

The the Sporting director of football who may have made a promise got a transfer? To Man city? Clearly Man City are culpable?
