Viktor Gyokeres FURIOUS with Sporting Lisbon after learning of transfer 'lie'

Viktor Gyokeres has been left fuming with after they demanded more for him than they promised as he looks for a way out of the Portuguese club.

The Swede has just helped them land the domestic double and, after choosing to remain last summer, had an agreement with them that they would let him depart for significantly less than his release clause. Whilst they've honoured that Sporting have still be asking for more than he expected.

The Lisbon outfit have been demanding £67million for him. Previously they agreed that they would demand £50m plus £8.4m in add-ons this summer - meaning they asked for almost £10m more, reports . It has left Gyokeres fuming and he's removed the club's name from his social media platforms.

The player has already turned down a potential move to Saudi Arabia after Al-Hilal saw a £55million offer rejected. He is the latest striker to rebuff the Middle East league with and still keen.

The Swede is one of Europe's most sought after strikers after breaking the 50 goal barrier with Sporting Lisbon. He's been tipped for a move but he was recently offered the chance to land fortunes by moving to the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Hilal, who have just appointed for Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi as manager, had been looking to land . However the Nigerian knocked them back after his loan stint at Galatasaray with his parent club, Napoli, looking to cash in. That led the Saudis to turn their attention to Gyokeres but the Swedish frontman has also said no to a lucrative offer. He could've earned an annual salary of £30m but wants to continue competing in Europe, reports .

It means both Arsenal and United are free to pursue a move for the 27-year-old, who previously played in England for the likes of Swansea and Coventry City before his career was transformed by Ruben Amorim.

The Portuguese boss is looking to bolster his forward line and could pursue a reunion with Gyokeres. It is understood that Sporting would sanction his sale for around £60m - despite looking for more so far this window - and the player himself is open to the move despite them not having football.

Arsenal have been touted as his other option. It is well documented that the Gunners want a No.9 with discussions ongoing over a move for the Slovenian. Gyokeres himself has remained coy on his own future.
