The Sweden international is frustrated with how the club has handled his situation, claiming that he had already agreed with Sporting to leave this summer for a fixed fee. But Sporting are playing hardball, with president Frederico Varandas making it clear that they are holding out for a higher fee.
An interesting update from Portugal has now emerged.
**_[A Bola](https://www.abola.pt/)_** reports that Viktor Gyökeres' €60m release clause is now active, effective from today (July 1), and can be triggered by interested suitors.
If Sporting were to turn down any €60m offer for Gyökeres, they would be forced to pay his agent around €6m.
This development suggests that a summer move for Gyökeres could soon be completed, should any club activate the reported €60m clause. **_A Bola_** also adds that Arsenal are willing to meet that figure to land the Swedish goalscorer this summer.
