Sporting Lisbon has allegedly gone back on a gentlemen’s agreement to sell striker Viktor Gyokeres for £59m, leaving the player furious.
Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Gyokeres, who has scored 54 goals in the 2024-25 season.
Dispute Over Transfer Fee
Sporting Lisbon initially agreed to let Gyokeres go for £59m, but now wants £67.4m, citing increased interest in the player.

Gyokeres feels that the club’s president, Frederico Varandas, is not respecting their agreement.
Gyokeres’s Future Uncertain
The situation is reminiscent of Harry Kane’s dispute with Tottenham Hotspur in 2021.
Despite the disagreement, Gyokeres’s departure from Sporting seems inevitable.
Manchester United’s interest remains strong, but the club’s financial situation might affect their ability to meet Sporting’s new demands.
