CNN Portugal: Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres (Coventry) is one step closer to joining Sporting CP for 20 million + 35 percent of any future sale.

If there is some truth in the Sporting story, and the club are thinking of selling at what would likely be the lower end - 17 mil, is this more of a gamble on future sale? The sell on percentage thrown about is 35%, I guess one really good season in Europe and he could go somewhere for 60 mil, that's another 20 mil on top for us.

The sheer persistence of the stories emerging from Portugal suggests there is some truth there. And we know that CCFC acknowledged the interest from Lisbon. A 35% sell-on clause sounds high but Brighton claim to have a 20% cut on the Gyokeres deal (and in the past WBA once insisted on a 50% sell-on clause).
Lets hope that the 35% is from the total future sale and not from the profit Lisbon make, if this is indeed true

If they covered Ings’ wages I’d snap their hands off - extreme though

Wouldn't want Ings. He'll feel he's good enough for a Premier League club (Bournemouth, Palace etc),. + of course the wages. Just give us £24 million, and maybe their most talented young centre half on a 12 month loan.

I doubt he would even give give the idea a second thought. if he wanted to stay in the prem there would be plenty of takers if not then he could go earn millions in the Saudi League.

Really surprising. The bottom half of that league is like non-league here. The players might be a bit better but the stadiums and attendances are so poor.

Surely if a PL side were interested, he wouldn’t go.

Big fish in a small pond. Scores a heap of goals whilst enjoying the better weather and the delights of Lisbon and beyond. Stock rises and he can then make a move elsewhere, if he wants to. I know where I'd go and it wouldn't be the North-West of England.

Yeah if that’s happens great. However fairly major risk if it doesn’t work out as you’ve said.

Earning good money, but not mega money.

Sporting players have got a record of leaving for the sort of PL sides Gyokeres is already linked with - so I’d say it’s not as great a move as it seems

Equally, if he didn't cut the mustard at the likes of Everton or Burnley, it would be difficult to see his career taking a positive step thereafter.

He'd get swallowed up in the PL and I think he knows it.

Haha. On what evidence? I saw him dominated by 5 or 6 different championship defenders last season, you think he'll find it easier in the toughest league in the world?

Plus he needs, as best you can, to be a guaranteed starter. He wouldn't be that in Premier League.

Portugal is a good option for him to continue his development with European football and keeping him in international contention. At 25 this is an important move, he can't afford to go back to being a bench warmer.
