Player has ‘no intention of returning’ to Coventry – Wants transfer sorted before pre-season starts

It’s no secret that Coventry City striker Viktor Gyökeres wants a big move this summer. Now, according to the Portuguese media, he may start making big pressure for it.

Newspaper Correio da Manhã today writes that following his international duty with Sweden, the player is now on holiday and has ‘no intention of returning\ to the Championship side.

It’s said he’ll use the first days of vacation to sort the transfer to Sporting. After agreeing terms with the Lions, he waits for Coventry City to accept the bid.

The outlet claims Gyökeres doesn’t even want to join the English squad for the pre-season, expecting the €20m deal as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, newspaper Record features a big story claiming Sporting director Hugo Viana is going to England with the hope of closing the transfer.

It’s said the club chief will arrive with a bid to convince Coventry City, which is of €20m with bonuses included.

The trip is taking place in the coming days and is expected to be ‘decisive’ for the signing. The outlet makes it clear the ‘barrier’ for the agreement is Doug King.
