Coming from Fabrizio Romano this early morning Sporting CP has rejected Chelsea’s £90m Bid to sign outrageous star and the club wants £100m
According to GOAL, Chelsea’s ambitious attempt to sign Sporting CP’s star prospect, Viktor Gyokeres, for a staggering $92 million has fell short in the competitive world of football transfers. Gyokeres, the Swedish striker who has 20 goals and 10 assists in just 24 games this season, is at the centre of a heated trade fight.
Despite Chelsea’s strong interest in Gyokeres, Sporting CP stays firm in their valuation, demanding a significant €100 million for their star forward and citing the non-negotiable release clause as the deciding factor. Ruben Amorim, Sporting CP’s manager, vehemently defended the club’s position, emphasising calm despite the swirling transfer rumours and claiming that the original bid of €85 million fell well short.
Viktor Gyokeres, who joined Sporting CP for €20 million from Coventry City in 2023, has proven to be a revelation, scoring an astounding 30 goals since his arrival. With a contract until 2028, the Portuguese club sees no reason to part ways with the prolific scorer.
The athlete agrees with Sporting’s attitude, publicly expressing his present lack of interest in possible suitors. Meanwhile, Chelsea, dealing with scoring issues, investigates a variety of market options, including a reported willingness to consider offers for Armando Broja. However, the probable return of Christopher Nkunku from injury and Nicolas Jackson from the Africa Cup of Nations adds ambiguity to Chelsea’s transfer strategy, which could effect Gyokeres’ rumoured move to Stamford Bridge. As this transfer story evolves, all eyes are on whether Chelsea can match Sporting CP’s €100 million estimate for the Swedish goal-scoring dynamo.
