Viktor Gyokeres’ future has taken another turn, with reports claiming the Sporting striker’s agent has responded to the club's 'blackmail' claim.
The 27-year-old is one of the most in-demand players this summer after scoring a staggering 97 goals in 102 matches for Sporting since joining in the summer of 2023.
Gyokeres has been heavily linked with Arsenal and Manchester United as well as Juventus - but it is the former who have reportedly taken a step forward in the race to sign him.
The Sweden international has an £84million release clause in his Sporting contract, but prior to the campaign just gone, he was understood to have reached a gentleman's agreement with the Portuguese champions over a reduced asking price.
