VIKTOR GYOKERES is fuming at Sporting Lisbon after their U-turn on his release clause, it has been claimed.

The Sweden striker is in incredibly high demand following a second straight stellar season with the Portuguese giants.

Gyokeres is understood to have reached a gentleman’s agreement with the club at the start of the season, which would see them accept a fee less than the £84million release clause in his contract.

The 27-year-old was told he could leave the Portuguese capital for an overall fee of £59million, with £51m of that figure being paid up front.

But Portuguese newspaper Record claims Sporting have had a change of heart and won’t part with Gyokeres’ services unless they receive £67m.

Gyokeres, who is wanted by Manchester United, is reportedly irate with the club’s U-turn and feels like they have betrayed him.

The Swede is ready to move on to pastures new after two goal-ridden seasons, which have also caught the eye of United’s Premier League rivals Arsenal.

He scored a whopping 54 goals and provided 13 assists in 52 appearances last season, a haul which took his club tally to 97 strikes in 102 outings.

Should United stump up the £67m, Gyokeres will be reunited with Red Devils gaffer Ruben Amorim.

Amorim, under whom Gyokeres flourished, took charge of United last November following the club’s sacking of Erik ten Hag.

Despite being eager to leave Lisbon, Gyokeres admits he’s not sure what the future holds.

He said late last month: “It’s football, I’m still here.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen. Nobody can predict the future.”
