His effectiveness demonstrated since the start of the season (seventeen goals in twenty-three matches), obviously does not escape the recruiters of the biggest European clubs. There is therefore no guarantee that Viktor Gyökeres will complete the exercise with Sporting which employs him, as the list of interested clubs grows longer weekend after weekend: Manchester United, Barça, Bayern but also PSG in France, are eyeing its services.
To poach the 26-year-old Swedish international striker, they will have to pay a price. At one hundred million euros it is possible, since the player has a release clause of this amount in his contract with his Portuguese team. This is more than all the estimates of valuation specialists on this subject, from the lowest that of L'Observatoire du football (around 65 million euros), to the highest of Football Benchmark (81.4 million ), via Transfermarkt which quotes it at 70 million euros. All studies agree on one point: he is the most bankable player in Portuguese football.
Viktor Gyökeres is the most expensive player in Sporting history
Recruited in the summer 2023 transfer window from Brighton in the Premier League for compensation of 20 million euros (and four bonuses in addition), Viktor Gyökeres, then become the most expensive player in the history of Sporting, has since been greatly improved.
With the Lisbon club, he signed a 5-year contract, which brings him the equivalent of 110,000 euros gross monthly and up to nearly 170,000 euros when adding bonuses. As such, he is one of the highest paid players on his team, but he will be able to aim for much more by changing teams. Maybe less this winter than next summer.
