Viktor Gyokeres was one of the most talked about names before the start of the summer transfer window, with a number of different clubs linked including AC Milan.
According to Calciomercato.com, Milan and Napoli were among the sides to show a ‘strong interest’ in Gyokeres before the mercato opened, with the former needing to replace Olivier Giroud and the latter Victor Osimhen.
However, Sporting CP were never under any pressure to sell given the striker has a contract until 2028 which contains a release clause of €100m, a very high figure, which no club has any intention of paying despite the fact he scored 29 league goals last season.
In the spring, Milan had ‘shown great interest’ but the high demands discouraged the Rossoneri directors from looking into the situation further. They then turned to Joshua Zirkzee who had a €40m clause, before eventually signing Alvaro Morata.
Napoli were also keen but Osimhen is still there now and thus they didn’t have the funds, then the Premier League and in particular Arsenal came forward. In the meantime, the Swedish giant has picked up where he left off in terms of form.
Sporting defeated Farense 5-0 last night three goals came from Gyokeres, who has now scored six goals in three games this season.
To bring Osimhen in three installments, now 10 million, the next 30 million and the last 30 million. A total of 70, and if it is a little 40 million each, which would amount to 90, because it is not worth more than that.
The kind of creativity I’ve been screaming for.
Man Utd is paying for Zirkzee in 3 instalments.
I mean, come on.
And his 12M salary? That to be paid in instalments as well? That’s net btw not gross
I read it’s 10mn net. Either way I get your point it’s out of our range.
But, if Conte freezes him out then he’ll likely buckle at some point and accept lower wages, say Leao money (with massive goal bonuses) he wants to represent 🇳🇬 at FiFA WC 2026 so I don’t see him being another Origi or Ballo-Toure and happy to just collect a paycheck while wasting his career.
Nah..is chiesa buckling? He can get his mone in epl
Reportedly chiesa has lowered his demands to 4mn net to join Barca. I’d say that’s kinda buckling, it at least makes him affordable.
Well we, or at least I, didn’t know that at 2 pm.
Still, osi is on 12M, that’s official and he doesn’t seem the buckling type.
I’d say it sooner that conte buckles if it comes to that. Osi lukaku. That’s a duo, a?
I pay your mom a nice salary.
Osi or Gyokeres as Mr X will shut me up for good!
Make it happen!
Not going to happen. Any transfer north of 20M€ and Milan goes directly to bankruptcy and Serie C2.
🤡🤡🤡🤡
Cardinale, Furlani, Moncada and Zlatan the count is right haha
They have been telling us that our books are solved… We are making profit, minimal but still profit, every season now… How are we going bankrupt?
If it’s sarcasm, I understand your pain
It has to be sarcasm because that is the comment a lot of people make when you mention a big signing. You want Milan to be bankrupt like Inter and smilar. And then you find out that Inter spent 4 times less than Milan in the past 10 years.
Gyokeres…. 💯
