Viktor Gyokeres says no! Sporting CP striker turns down massive contract offer as Swedish star eyes Premier League transfer

<p>According to <a href="https://www.footmercato.net/a267048798867408548-al-hilal-va-aussi-tenter-le-gros-coup-viktor-gyokeres" target="_blank"><em>Foot Mercato</em></a>, Gyokeres has rejected a huge €35 million (£30m/$40m) annual salary offer from Al-Hilal. The Saudi Pro League club was prepared to pay Sporting up to €70 million (£59m/$80m) to sign the striker, but the Swedish forward wants to remain in Europe and is eyeing a Premier League move instead.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Sporting paid just €20m (£17m/$23m) to sign Gyokeres from Coventry City in 2023, but his value has skyrocketed after two incredible campaigns. Despite massive interest, Sporting insist on receiving as much as €100m (£84m/$114m) for their star player.</p><p>Clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and AC Milan are watching the situation closely. However, they may hesitate at the steep price-tag. Meanwhile, Al-Hilal are looking to splash cash again this summer <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/victor-osimhen-makes-final-decision-saudi-arabia-transfer-napoli-striker-receives-fifth-offer-al-hilal/bltfbe17421c311dae7" target="_blank">after missing out on Victor Osimhen</a> and continue to target elite names like Bernardo Silva and Darwin Nunez.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The 27-year-old striker finished the 2024–25 Liga Portugal season as the league’s top scorer, with a remarkable 39 goals in 33 games. He also made a big impact in the Champions League, scoring six goals in eight matches. Despite Al-Hilal’s best efforts to lure him with a mega salary, his heart remains set on competing at the highest level in Europe.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Premier League clubs like Arsenal, United and Chelsea are weighing their options, though none have yet activated Gyokeres' release clause. Al-Hilal could return with an even bigger offer, but with the player uninterested, they may shift attention to other targets.</p>
