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

Viktor Gyokeres' transfer 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 value of 65.8 million euros, plus up to 10.3 million based on objectives, of which 1.3 million had already been secured by the end of January.

As of December 31, around 20 million euros had already entered the SAD’s coffers. Even so, the document details that the Club is still owed more than 45 million by the Londoners, distributed over different deadlines: 15.468 million to be settled within one year and 31.540 million due in more than 12 months.

The fixed 65.8 million practically explains the increase of 68 million euros 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 estimates a capital gain of 41 million with the Swedish striker – 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 a future sale owed to Coventry.

The windfall was accompanied by an equally historic investment in the squad, with the stated goal of pursuing a third consecutive championship 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 shirt, Viktor Gyokeres – valued at 70 million euros – played 36 matches: 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 pitch, the striker scored 15 goals and provided two assists.
