With a Master’s degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis as a child and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them, enjoy my passion to the fullest and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
A true goal machine for Sporting Portugal, Victor Gyökeres made headlines again by opening the scoring against LOSC on the first day of the Champions League. The Swede, whose name was mentioned in the PSG transfer window this summer, could have played for an even more prestigious club this season. But he chose to stay because he found a certain attachment to Portugal…
Author of remarkable performances in Championship, Victor Gyökeres landed at Sporting Portugal in 2023 where he has more than confirmed his talent. The Swede, who scored 43 goals and provided 13 assists in 49 appearances for his first season with his club, is a real phenomenon. Starting on the same dynamic, he could have signed for PSG but the negotiation would have been very difficult.
A deal too difficult to close
After such a start and after only one season, the Sporting Portugal couldn’t let his nugget go Victor GyökeresThe centre-forward represented a bargain for the club, who would have made a lot of money. “Why did Gyökeres stay? There are several things. First, there is the fact that he wanted to get to know Europe with it. He was very expensive, Sporting did not want to let go of the deal. They did not need money.” the journalist first explains Nicolas Vilas in theRMC After Foot.
“He found himself a girlfriend”
At 26 years old, Victor Gyökeres could have seen his career take off in a big European club. Clearly loyal, he preferred to stay warm in a country he loves very much. “And there is a third aspect that we tend to forget, but it is the personal aspect. He found himself a girlfriend who is a Portuguese actress and I think that played a role in the fact that he stayed.” continues Nicolas Vilas.
