Striker Viktor Gyokeres, 25, is on his way to Sporting (he could be official any minute) and will be the most expensive transfer in the Lions’ history. Hans Eskilsson, the first Swedish player to play in Alvalade in the 1980s, approves in the DN the hiring of his compatriot and guarantees that the striker will not feel the pressure of the money that SAD leonina will invest, about 24 million euros ( including bonuses) to secure the pass at Coventry.
“I know they are going to pay a high price. But he will not feel any pressure because he is the most expensive player in Sporting’s history. Today’s football moves millions. We see transfers happening for more than 100 million, so 24 is not even that much. Not even that much. I think it’s an exaggerated price for an attacker, taking into account the current context,” the former striker who represented the Lions in the 1988-89 season and who also played Sp. Braga and Estoril.
