Viktor Gyökeres, the red-hot Sporting CP striker, is reportedly “furious” with his club after they jacked up his transfer fee to a staggering £67m, despite previously agreeing to a £50m base fee plus £8.4m in add-ons for the summer transfer window. The 26-year-old Swedish sensation, who has been lighting up the Primeira Liga with his goal-scoring prowess, feels blindsided by the club’s sudden change of heart, sources close to the player claim.

The bombshell decision has sparked tension between Gyökeres and Sporting, with the forward taking a bold step to express his frustration. Fans were quick to notice that he has scrubbed Sporting’s name from his social media bios, a move that screams discontent and hints at a desire to force a move elsewhere. The subtle but pointed gesture has sent transfer rumor mills into overdrive, with clubs across Europe likely circling for the prolific marksman.

Gyökeres, who has been linked with Premier League giants like Arsenal and Tottenham, as well as other European heavyweights, had reportedly been open to a transfer this summer, expecting Sporting to honor their earlier £58.4m valuation (including add-ons). However, Sporting’s decision to demand an extra £8.6m has thrown a wrench into negotiations, leaving the player feeling betrayed and potentially pricing him out of a dream move.

The towering Swede, known for his clinical finishing, physical presence, and relentless work rate, has been a standout performer since joining Sporting from Coventry City in 2023. His stock has only risen, with 29 goals and 10 assists in the 2023/24 season alone, making him one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards. But Sporting’s hardball tactics could now jeopardize his future at the club and test his patience as the transfer window looms.

Fans on X are already buzzing, with some slamming Sporting for greed, while others speculate Gyökeres might push for a transfer request if the situation doesn’t resolve. “Sporting playing games with Gyökeres’ future. £67m is wild—let the man go!” one user posted, while another quipped, “Bio change = exit mode activated. Viktor’s out the door.”

For now, Gyökeres remains a Sporting player, but the cracks are showing. Will the Lisbon club back down, or is this the start of a messy transfer saga? One thing’s clear: Viktor Gyökeres is not happy, and the football world is watching closely.
