Frederico Varandas’s sports president criticized the attacker Viktor Gyoker for being unable to give pre -season training, warning that the Swedish international would face disciplinary consequences for his absence. It is assumed that the attacker is moving from the club in the middle of the interest of several Premier League teams.
It was expected that Gyokeres, who scored 54 goals in the 2024-25 season, joined the preparations before the Sporting season before the new season. Although a 27 -year -old man was awarded an extended break, he did not report to the club, led to speculation that he was pushing for a transfer. Arsenal is one of the clubs associated with the attacker while meeting with a former manager My Ruben Amor Who is now in Manchester United was also said.
In an interview with Lusa Varandas, he explained that Sporting would not be strongly armed on the sale of his best shooter and would take disciplinary steps if necessary.
“We are calm. Everything will be resolved by closing the market, a severe fine and an apology to a group,” he said.
He continued to emphasize that the Gyokers remain on the basis of a contract for the next three years, giving the club full control over its future. Varandas was also pushed back against the idea that public tactics or behind the scenes would affect Sporting’s attitude.
“If the geniuses who are inventing this strategy think that it is putting pressure on me to make it easier to east, not only quite badly, but also increase the output of the player even more complicated. No one is over the interests of the club, whoever.”
Since connecting from Coventry City in 2023, Gyokeres he has established himself as one of the most prolific attackers in Europe, scored 97 goals in 102 performances, and helped sports to win the Primeira Back-to-Back. Its appearance made him a hot commodity, but the sporting in its award remains firm and is not willing to accept anything less than believes that it is a real market value.
Meanwhile, Sporting continues its pre -season plan and will play Celtic in a friendly match on Wednesday. Whether the Gyoker re -joins the team or escalates its pressure on the transfer, you need to see, but the club management showed that discipline and order would come to the personal ambitions of any player in front of personal ambitions.
