Sporting reveal Arsenal still owe over half the fee for Gyokeres signing | OneFootball

The transfer of Viktor Gyokeres to Arsenal decisively marked the first half of the 2025/26 season for Sporting. In the report sent to the CMVM, the green and white SAD highlights that this is the biggest sale in its history, with a fixed amount of 65.8 million euros, plus up to 10.3 million based on objectives, of which 1.3 million was already secured by the end of January.

As of December 31, about 20 million euros had already entered the SAD's coffers. Nevertheless, the document details that the Club has more than 45 million to receive from the Londoners, distributed over different terms: 15.468 million to be settled within a year and 31.540 million due in more than 12 months.

The fixed 65.8 million practically explains the 68 million euro increase in sales compared to the same period in 2024/25, representing a growth of 161%. In total, transfer revenues amounted to 110.2 million euros. The SAD calculates a capital gain of 41 million with the Swedish forward - who scored twice in the last match - also revealing 7.7 million in charges associated with the operation, namely related to the solidarity mechanism and a percentage of future sale due to Coventry.

The revenue was accompanied by an equally historic investment in the squad, with the stated goal of pursuing the championship three-peat and maintaining competitiveness in all competitions. The administration led by Frederico Varandas indicates that 98.9 million euros were invested in the team in 2025/26, an increase of 34% compared to the same period of the previous year.

Wearing the Arsenal jersey, Viktor Gyokeres – valued at 70 million euros – played 36 games: 26 in the Premier League, six in the Champions League, three in the English League Cup, and one in the FA Cup. In the 2,344 minutes he was on the field, the forward scored 15 goals and made two assists.
