Viktor Gyökeres did not return to Sporting CP for training today. Sporting CP president Frederico Varandas spoke to Lusa News Agency, addressing the transfer saga involving Viktor Gyökeres.
Remarks:
We are calm. Everything will be resolved once the transfer window closes – he will be severely punished by the club and will also be required to apologize to the entire team.
If Arsenal is unwilling to pay a reasonable market price for Gyökeres, then we can calmly accept him staying with the club for the next three years (Gyökeres still has three years left on his contract with Sporting CP) …
If those "smart people" behind this maneuver (Gyökeres' refusal to return to training) think this can force us to let him go, they are sorely mistaken. On the contrary, it is only making the conditions for Gyökeres' departure more complicated.
No one is above the club's interests – no matter who they are.
