Determined to succeed at Sporting Lisbon, under the orders of his mentor Ruben Amorim, Viktor Gyokeres refused everything during the 2024 summer transfer window. The Swedish striker did not want to stop his collaboration with the Portuguese coach, the one who blew him up . But with the departure of Amorim this winter for Manchester United, everything changes…
PSG loves Gyokeres
However, Antoine Kombouaré’s fate seemed to be that of a departure before the winter break. On RMC, Daniel Riolo confirmed that the Nantes leaders had recorded the departure of the coach and finally retracted: “Habib Beye was in Paris and he was told to come to Nantes the next day, Friday 20, to make the presentation before going on the bench for the (Coupe de France) match against Drancy. In the end, things go wrong. He sees Antoine Kombouaré again during a discussion which regains some confidence with the Kita. He tells them that he’s not completely burned out and that he can get through this. The Kitas change their mind for the umpteenth time ».
Sporting is preparing
Sporting Lisbon knows that it will be difficult to retain Viktor Gyokeres for very long. But the Portuguese club hopes to see him finish the 2024-2025 season. The departure door is closed. But not twice… Indeed, according to former Sporting coach Domingos Paciência, the Lisbon club could let go of its phenomenon: “We have already had several great opportunities in Portuguese football. You have to take advantage of certain offers that are impossible to refuse. So who knows, if such a proposal appears, it will be difficult to keep Gyokeres”. Bought for 24 million euros by Sporting, the Swedish striker is worth at least 75 million euros. If PSG puts 100 million euros on the table, the “impossible to refuse” offer that Domingos Paciência speaks of will be there…
