A few days ago, Viktor Gyokeres was announced to have agreed to join MU, making coach Ruben Amorim extremely excited. However, the transfer deal did not go as planned, because Sporting Lisbon went back on their word.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romaco said that Sporting initially agreed to let Viktor Gyokeres leave for a fee of 65 million euros this summer, but now changed their mind and demanded an increase of 80 million euros. This has caused a major obstacle in MU 's negotiations with the Primeira Liga champions.

“Why is Viktor Gyokeres angry with Sporting? Because there is an agreement between his agent and the club, allowing the 27-year-old striker to leave this summer for a transfer fee of around 65 million euros.

The reason for this agreement, and not at the level of the contract termination clause (100 million euros), is because of Viktor Gyokeres' commitment and professionalism.

Last summer, Gyokeres received several offers but decided to stay with the team. This past January, he had the opportunity to leave but still chose to stick with Sporting until the end of the season.

In appreciation of that, Sporting agreed to let Viktor Gyokeres go for 65 million euros, but now the club has changed its mind, wanting more, up to 80 million euros. The Swedish striker feels dissatisfied with Sporting's behavior, making the situation tense .

Although the deal for Viktor Gyokeres to MU is currently being made difficult by Sporting, according to this transfer expert, this relationship is only a matter of time:

We'll see what happens, but I still see Viktor Gyokeres leaving Sporting this summer .”

Viktor Gyokeres is being pursued by Arsenal, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid but the striker wants to reunite with Ruben Amorim at MU, regardless of the team not qualifying for the Champions League next season.
