Viktor Gyökeres set to boost Sporting’s coffers again | OneFootball

Viktor Gyökeres was involved in one of the most high-profile transfers in recent years at Alvalade. Not only because of the sporting impact he had on Sporting - scoring 97 goals and providing 27 assists in 102 games - but also due to the tension that marked his departure process. The transfer to Arsenal brought 65.7 million euros in fixed fees to the coffers of Sporting's SAD, paid upfront, establishing itself as the biggest sale in the Club's history, but it could still bring in some more 'pocket change'.

The Swedish international, currently 27 years old, was a key player in the journey of the national champion team and left mixed feelings among the fans. However, the focus now remains on the additional amounts stipulated in the agreement between the two clubs. There are 10.2 million euros at stake in objectives, of which a first tranche has already been secured.

The first objective - related to 20 games played with at least 45 minutes of play - was achieved on December 13, 2025, in the 2-1 victory against Wolves at the Emirates. This milestone activated the first of four blocks of 1.25 million euros. To this amount, an additional 500 thousand euros may soon be added.

The mechanism is simple: for every 20 goal contributions at Arsenal, up to a limit of 40 actions (totaling 1 million euros), Sporting receives half a million. At this point, the forward has 13 goals and two assists, needing just five more direct contributions to reach the first level. The recent trend reinforces the expectation: in the last eight games for the Gunners, Gyökeres scored on six occasions and assisted twice, earning public praise from coach Mikel Arteta and several British commentators.

There is also an additional objective valid until 2029. For each qualification of Arsenal for the UEFA Champions League group stage, Sporting earns another 1 million euros, potentially adding up to 4 million in this regard. In England, the top four in the Premier League usually secure direct access to the competition.

Wearing the Arsenal jersey, Viktor Gyokeres – valued at 70 million euros – has played 32 games: 23 in the Premier League, six in the Champions League, and three in the EFL League Cup. In the 2,054 minutes he was on the field, the forward scored 13 goals and made two assists.
