Varandas explains that while he told Gyokeres' camp that Sporting would not hold the player to his €100m buyout clause, no sale price was ever set. The president insists that the club's stance is to focus on the player's performance rather than a fixed value.

Earlier, it was suggested that Sporting would accept €60m to sell Gyokeres, but Varandas denies any agreement on a specific price. He claims that the discussion was about not demanding the €100m buyout clause, and the agent mentioned various prices, but Varandas refused to set a value.

Varandas asserts that Sporting keeps its word and has guaranteed not to demand the €100m buyout clause. He emphasizes that the club's decision is based on Gyokeres' performance and not on a predetermined value.

The situation has led to tension between Gyokeres and Sporting, with the player removing all mentions of the club from his social media profile.
