“I can guarantee that Viktor Gyokerres will not leave for 60 million euros plus 10 million euros because I have never promised this,” said Varandas. “To date, Sporting has not received an offer for gyoker – neither today nor last summer.”
Varandas says that the Gyokerres agent asked for insurance of him and the sports director Hugo Viana – who has now left to join Man City in a similar role – that the player would be authorized to leave less than his liberation clause at a meeting earlier this season.
The sports president said that the agent also asked for an agreement on the requested price – but he was not willing to engage in specific figures.
Varandas added: “What was agreed at this meeting? This sport would not require the liberation clause [this summer].
“For a reason, it is because we know that no player leaves Portugal at 27 per 100 million euros or 90 million euros.
“In this same meeting, the agent wanted to anchor the exit to a value. I said this sentence:” It is not worth setting us a value because I do not know what will happen in a year. I do not know if it will be 40M euros, 60M or 80m. What I can guarantee that I will not ask for 100 million euros. “”
