"Gyokeres? If a club pays his release clause and he wants to leave, he'll leave"

Sporting CP have never been more fashionable. The Lisbon outfit, who are top of the Portuguese league, have the real surprise package of the European continent in their ranks. To say the man in the mask is to give too big a clue as to his identity.
We are talking about Viktor Gyokeres, the Swedish striker who has only been with the ‘Lions’ for one season and so far this season. As the season progresses, his numbers are dazzling. He has scored 66 goals in the 68 games he has played for his team.
Last season he had a total of 43 goals and 15 assists, but this year he has already scored 23 goals in just the first third of the championship. This has made all the big teams in the Old Continent take notice of him.
With a contract until 2028 and a release clause of 100 million euros, his departure from Portugal may be possible, but not cheap. This is what Sporting CP president Frederico Varandas wanted to talk about, taking advantage of the presentation of the team's new coach, Joao Pereira, who has arrived to replace the successful Rúbem Amorim.
He left the possible continuity of the Swedish striker up in the air: ‘I can't promise anything. If a club arrives, pays the release clause and he wants to leave, he will leave. But I don't think it will happen in January.
