VIKTOR GYOKERES has reportedly been embroiled in a heated fall-out with Sporting Lisbon amid a turbulent transfer saga.
And Gyokeres’ agent has come in claiming he has proof of an alleged agreement that can allow the Manchester United and Arsenal target to leave for less than his astronomical release clause.

The 27-year-old has reportedly come to blows with club bosses after trying to force through a dream move to the Premier League.
The striker is allegedly furious with Sporting for going back on their word over a promise to lower his £84million asking price and plans not to play for the club again.
The Sweden international believes he had a gentleman’s agreement to leave the Portuguese champions for £50m with a further £8m in add-ons.
But that claim has been denied by club president Frederico Varandas, who insisted he will not be bullied into letting Gyokeres move to the Premier League on the cheap this summer.
Varandas said: “Sporting will not accept blackmail and insults – you should know me better by now.”
Gyokeres went on to break his silence with a brief statement on social media.
The ex-Coventry City star tried to play down the squabble rumours by throwing doubt on some of the reports.
Gyokeres posted: “There is a lot of talks at the moment, most of it is false. I will speak when the time is right.”

Now Gyokeres’ agent Hasan Cetinkaya has become the latest to speak out about the situation.
According to Aftonbladet, Cetinkaya stated he has written proof of the alleged gentleman’s agreement with Sporting that proves his client can in fact leave for a cut price this summer after turning down offers last year.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that the forward has turned down a move to United.
SunSpoirt understand Man Utd are weighing up Napoli star Victor Osimhen as a potential plan B, although his high wages could pose as an obstacle.
Arsenal now appear to be in pole position for Gyokeres ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Gunners are rumoured to have had a £55million bid rejected by Sporting.
That is understood to have been met with anger from Gyokeres and the North Londoners are preparing a second offer.
Nevertheless, just like United, Arsenal are also looking at alternatives as they are chasing RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko.
