Viktor Gyokeres has been on fire lately, scoring impressive goals for both his club and his country. There have been rumors circulating that he may be making a big-money move in January, but Sporting's assistant boss Tiago Teixeira is quick to dismiss them. He assures everyone that Gyokeres is content with his current team and has no intention of leaving.
It's no surprise that the 26-year-old has caught the attention of many top European clubs. With an incredible record of 66 goals in just 68 games for Sporting, it's no wonder teams like Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain are all vying for his signature. However, despite his £83million release clause, it's been reported that he could be available for a more affordable fee of £63m at the end of the 2024/25 season.
The recent departure of Sporting's manager, Ruben Amorim, to Manchester United has only fueled speculations that Gyokeres may follow suit. But Sporting is in no rush to part ways with their star player and they are confident that he will remain with them beyond the January transfer window. Teixeira is excited to have Gyokeres back in training and is happy to see him continue to represent both Sporting and his national team.
When asked about the possibility of a winter move for Gyokeres, Teixeira told Portuguese media, "We are prepared to welcome him today to train for the first time and we are very happy to have him here. He is also very happy with the season he is having representing Sporting and his national team. He is very happy to be here. What we want is to have him for as long as possible."
Despite the constant speculation, Gyokeres has made it clear that he is solely focused on his current team and has no plans to leave. When asked about the rumors of him joining Amorim at Manchester United, he replied, "I'm here. As you can see, I enjoy it at Sporting. It's nothing I really think about. I'm sad about him [Amorim] leaving. We wish him all the best."
There were also talks of Barcelona being interested in Gyokeres, but the club's sporting director, Deco, has dismissed these rumors. He explained that they are currently looking for a No.9 to replace Robert Lewandowski, but Gyokeres is not their top priority at the moment. Deco also mentioned that Gyokeres is happy at Sporting and they are not looking to sign any players at the moment.
In conclusion, Gyokeres is a highly sought-after player in the football world, but Sporting is determined to keep him and continue to see him thrive in their team. Only time will tell if he will make a move in the future, but for now, he is focused on his current team and is excited to see what the future holds for him.
