Then, on his 'gentleman's agreement' to leave the club in the summer, Gyokeres added: "I can’t say anything about that. No one can predict what will happen, we enjoy the moment..."

Gyokeres reveals European dream

Speaking to at the end of last year after winning the Guldbollen – an award given to the best male Swedish player in Europe – Gyokeres said: "I don’t play in the Premier League like others do.

"But I have done the best I can where I am. I also showed it in Europe, in the Champions League and with the national team, so it was not just in Portugal."

On his future, Gyokeres added: "We will see. There are many rumours circulating, but we are in the middle of the season and there are still many months left. We will see when the time comes what will happen."

When asked where he sees himself playing in four years time, at 30, he replied: "Playing for one of the best teams in Europe. That is the objective."

Gyokeres comments on Sporting asking price

Speaking to Swedish publication after the summer transfer window slammed shut in September 2024, Gyokeres suggested that Sporting asked clubs for 'too much'. He said: "They (Sporting) wanted most of the starting players to stay and held us tight.

"That's how it turned out, but I enjoy Sporting very much, so for me it was no problem to stay. Of course, you want to play at the highest level. It [his release clause] was probably a bit too much, because nothing came of it.

"Of course, it's a lot of money, but we'll see what happens next window. Nothing happened and it feels like I had a pretty good season. So yes, that's probably why there was simply no move.

"But that's what Sporting thinks I'm worth, and you have to respect that. I enjoy myself very much in Sporting and can't complain about anything, so it's absolutely no problem for me to stay. Of course, you aim to test other leagues and a higher level, but I have no stress."
