Sporting eye Atlético Madrid-Arsenal tie and could cash in... | OneFootball

Sporting will be paying particularly close attention to the clash between Atlético Madrid and Arsenal, in the Champions League semi-finals, because of Viktor Gyökeres. If the Swedish striker starts for the London side and plays at least 45 minutes, the Lions will secure another €1.25 million in bonuses.

This potential windfall comes just a few days after the Alvalade club had already secured another €1 million thanks to the Swedish international, following Arsenal’s qualification for the league phase of the next edition of the Champions League, in 2026/27.

In total, the deal for Viktor Gyökeres’ transfer from Sporting to Arsenal includes a fixed fee of around €65.74 million, which could rise by a further €10 million depending on objectives being met, meaning the Lions’ hierarchy continue to fill their pockets thanks to their former striker.

So far, the Swedish international has already generated €2.75 million in add-ons for Sporting: €1.25 million for reaching 20 matches with at least 45 minutes played, €500,000 for direct involvement in 20 goals, and the aforementioned €1 million for the Gunners’ European qualification.

This season, wearing the Arsenal shirt, Viktor Gyökeres – valued at €65 million – has made 48 appearances: 31 in the Premier League, ten in the Champions League, four in the English League Cup and two in the FA Cup. In the 3,090 minutes he has been on the pitch, the Swedish centre-forward has scored 18 goals and provided three assists.
