Wanted Striker Not Happy With His €100m Release Clause
One of Europe's most prolific strikers in recent seasons is apprehensive about the €100 million release clause in his current contract.The Sporting CP man scored 43 goals and provided 19 assists in all competitions last season, and this garnered the former Brighton & Hove Albion attacker interest from the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.
While there were rumours of a possible return to the Premier League, what might have deterred suitors over seriously pursuing Gyokeres is his reported €100 million release clause. The Stockholm native was recently asked about the massive price tag placed on him by the Portuguese giants, and he expressed concern about it.
