Viktor Gyökeres, who has managed to establish himself as one of Europe's top forwards with his performance over the last two seasons in a Sporting Lisbon jersey, was turned away from Fenerbahçe during Vitor Pereira's tenure. It has been revealed that the star player, who could have been signed for 5-6 million euros at that time, was not transferred due to his playing in lower leagues, and instead, Batshuayi was brought in. Gyökeres, who has been performing wonders at Sporting Lisbon, currently has a release clause of 100 million euros.

Viktor Gyökeres, who has managed to become one of Europe's top forwards with his performance in the last two seasons with Sporting Lisbon, was turned away from Fenerbahçe during Vitor Pereira's era.

Recently, the fact that Viktor Gyökeres, who has left the football world in awe with his goals, was twice on Fenerbahçe's agenda while playing for Coventry, a team in the English Championship, but was not chosen, has surprised everyone.

PEREIRA WANTED HIM

It has been learned that the 26-year-old star, who was on the list of Vitor Pereira, who managed Fenerbahçe in 2021, but whose transfer did not materialize, came back to the agenda during Jorge Jesus's era in the 2022-23 season. However, it was revealed that Fenerbahçe decided against the player, who could have been signed for 5-6 million Euros, because he was playing in a lower league and opted to add Batshuayi to their squad instead.

100 MILLION EUROS

The Swedish striker, who joined Sporting for 24 million Euros in July 2023, finished the 2023-24 season with 43 goals and 15 assists in 50 matches, attracting Europe's attention. So far this season, he has scored 23 goals in 17 matches, and most recently, he made a hat trick against Manchester City. Gyökeres has a release clause of 100 million Euros, and his contract will expire in 2028.
