The doubt arises in the midst of rumors that Arsenal is interested in the player.
During the summer of 2017, Gyokeres made the move from Coventry City to Sporting at a discounted fee of seventeen million pounds.
The twenty-five-year-old player has been amazing in his first season in the Primeira Liga. He has scored 27 goals and provided ten assists in 31 games, which has been a key contributor to Sporting’s victory in the league title competition under the direction of Ruben Amorim, their coach.
As a result of his remarkable performances, big teams from all around Europe have taken notice of him. According to rumors, Arsenal is currently in the lead in the competition to grab his signature.
According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also interested in him, and Chelsea’s offer of £73 million for him in January was turned down without being accepted.
In order to demonstrate that they are not going to let Gyokeres go without a fight, Sporting has established a substantial release clause for him that is worth €100 million (£86 million).
Additionally, in order to reinforce their position in the event that there is a bidding war, Sporting is contemplating increasing Gyokeres’ release clause to a total of €120 million (£103 million).
When Gyokeres was asked about his future after Sporting won the league title, he expressed his happiness but did not provide any assurances that he would remain with the team.
He acknowledged the unpredictability that is inherent in the sport of football.
Gyokeres has claimed that he is content with his position at Sporting; yet, he is unable to guarantee that he would remain with the team for the upcoming season.
An indication was made by his agency that Gyokeres would find it more difficult to remain at Sporting in the event that Amorim, the club’s coach, quits the organization.
Amorim has recently been linked to Liverpool, Chelsea, and West Ham.
Amorim, on the other hand, has reiterated his dedication to Sporting and expressed his desire to achieve even greater success with the squad.
In conclusion, Gyokeres’ future at Sporting is still uncertain, as he is expected to make a decision based on a number of criteria, including the continuity of the coach, as well as interest from elite teams.
Fans are eagerly awaiting any new information regarding whether he will continue to wear the Sporting colors or whether he will move on to pursue new challenges.
