Sporting want Chelsea to improve Viktor Gyokeres bid to €100m

Chelsea have tabled an offer of €85m to bring the Swedish forward to Stamford Bridge, but it appears that won't quite be enough to wrestle him away from Sporting.

Gyokeres has scored 20 goals and provided 10 assists in 24 games across all competitions so far this season.

"Obviously, I was informed of the news. As soon as they said it was 85, I thought: 'That's not enough'. It's only 100. I'm not worried," said Amorim.

"Obviously, every club has to sell. What they've said is that, in the middle of the season, they'll only leave for the clause. As we can't control that, I feel quite calm because we can't do anything about it. 

"Of course, we have to look at Viktor's impact on the team, we'd have to change a lot of things, hence the board's endeavour to say that players we can't afford to lose will only leave for the fee. 

"I haven't spoken to Viana about that. Nowadays, there are obviously clubs that can easily pay 100, but we don't control that.

"I'm sure there could be offers in the summer. Right now, I don't know. We'll have to sell, but right now only for the clause. It's hard for anyone to beat 100 million. 

"I doubt there's been an offer. I'd be informed, I believe. I don't believe it was true. €85m is far from our value, we're not going to suffer in anticipation."
