Viktor Gyokeres team-mate makes transfer feelings clear with bullish message to Arsenal

Sporting CP star Eduardo Quaresma has sent a clear transfer message to Viktor Gyokeres after they won the Portuguese league title for a second season in a row.

A 2-0 victory at home to Vitoria on Saturday confirmed them as champions as Benfica drew away at Braga.

He has also managed four in the cup with the chance to increase that tally, and secure another piece of silverware, coming this weekend when they meet Benfica in the final.

With one huge game still on their schedule, "It's football, I'm still here," he told Portuguese broadcaster Sport.TV, as per . "I don't know what's going to happen. Nobody can predict the future."

Given his staggering goal-record, Sporting will want Gyokeres to stay but they do appear to be firmly aware that an exit is inevitable. An agreement was supposedly reached between the two parties earlier in the season that allows him to leave for roughly £60million.

He : "I just want to tell you something… They said we were never going to be champions without fans (during Covid), they said we were never going to be two-time champions without [Ruben] Amorim, they said we were never going to win the league without [ex-sporting director Hugo] Viana.

"They say we won’t be three-time champions without Viktor [Gyokeres]. And now, what I want to say is that, we’ll see."

While Goncalves has seemingly accepted he will not be playing alongside Gyokeres in the 2025/26 season, Quaresman appears hopeful he will stay., he wrote: "We go for the tri? [eyes and face holding back tears emoji]."

Multiple outlets in Portugal have claimed that an agreement has already been struck between Arsenal and Sporting for the 26-year-old. However, back in England, it appears a final decision is still being made on the striker to actively pursue between Gyokeres and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko.
