Sporting CP is interested in hiring Viktor Gyokeres. The 25-year-old Swedish spearhead belongs to the Coventry City cadres.

Sporting CP presented a first proposal by Viktor Gyokeres. Coventry's spearhead is desired by the lions, who will have offered 12 million euros, plus three in bonuses, according to the Record newspaper. The same source states that the English Championship club will have asked for 20 million euros to free the athlete.

Viktor Gyokeres was the second best scorer of the last edition of the Championship with 21 goals, having made a total of 22 and 12 assists in 50 games for the English club. Coventry was at the gates of the Premier League, but lost in the playoff final, on penalties, to Luton Town.

Also if we’re clever we should rinse Sporting for as much as we can. Their star player is moving on for £50m+.

Chelsea pull out of Manuel Ugarte race after PSG's last-ditch transfer bid

Chelsea and PSG triggered the £52m clause in Ugarte’s contract, the player was keen on a switch to Stamford Bridge but PSG dramatically increased their offer to $60m

PVA · Jun 6, 2023

Not bad as opening bids go. Feels like we can definitely aim for £20m (maybe more) if that's the first offer from anyone.

Can't see Sporting going to £20m, can only hope it ignites a bidding war to get that figure.

The most they paid for a player was €16m for Paulinho.

Hes never going to sporting is he its agent work. He’ll end up at a premier league club and we will have 15m-20m in our pocket

Maybe. Maybe Palmer and Dasilva cost a lot more than we thought

AFCCOVENTRY · Jun 6, 2023

Will be interesting to see what price tag he has

The Philosopher · Jun 6, 2023

Give Gyok the 30% to sign an extension.

And the slimy agent will pocket £1m for pretty much nothing.

I’m reminded of Brian Clough. “In the 70s the only agent was 007, and he only shagged women, not entire football clubs”

Must have been before he started taking bungs from agents then.

When Vik replaced his agent ahead of this transfer window his intent was clear, and it wasn’t to sign a new and slightly improved deal with us !

And CT. Coventry City receive 'first offer' for Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting

rexo87 · Jun 6, 2023

Maybe Sporting have made an offer but if they have or haven't it will be being used to hurry others into making bids

There are plenty of news outlets reporting of this offer and as you say, he’s going to be in demand. Lots of big European transfers happening which means cash will be floating about very soon. Apparently Lyon and Eintracht Frankfurt are also interested in him.

Optimistically, the European teams will come in and hit a benchmark figure the Premier league teams will beat. Say £15m to start before the financial clout of the Premier teams compete for his signature.

Again, if there's multiple suitors for him, it bodes well for us because we can hold out for the highest bidder. Sporting's alleged offer, frankly, is a bad joke.

sisu would have already banked the cheque

covboy9 · Jun 6, 2023

I’m sorry but the price is 25mill minimum

covboy9 · Jun 6, 2023

Watkins was 28mill at same age

mark82 · Jun 6, 2023

Watkins didn't have a year left. Price will go up if Prem teams get involved. European teams could speak to him in January for next year.

Very disappointing if he goes for £13million.

It’s John Harriott

His contract situation is the reason why he will go for a lower sum than some expect. Fantasy figures have been bandied about which possibly would apply if he had years left on his contract.

I get that, but I think £18m to £20m is about fair

Isn’t he the one that most on here reckons talks bollocks.

Peter Billing Eyes · Jun 6, 2023

Gyokeres has been linked to at least 6 different teams and Harriott reckons he’s been sold to the first suitor to show their hand within practically a week of our season ending? I can’t see it myself.

shmmeee · Jun 6, 2023

£20m sell, £10m keep him quite frankly, we’d be lucky to replace him with what’s left over.

I’d sign him up if we could

This guy is about as reliable as Kier Starmer keeping a promise.

Harry Kane who turns 30 next year and is also out of contact next season doesn't seem to be offered at a knock down price. I realise the negotiating positions are different however I think we should be resolved not to be seen as a soft touch.
