It's kinda like the Van Persie exit from Arsenal. Eventually Sporting fans will put their own club under pressure to take the money and make its moves to replace Gyökeres before the window closes. The efficiency of those moves will already matter more to the bottom line than the margin being haggled over on the deal.
Varandas has attempted the carrot with this public comment about "reconcilation", but we can all see it's bullshit. Bridges have been burnt and he might as well be the one who lit the match.
I hope Gyökeres is getting the details of our preseason training and conditioning expectations on an encrypted WhatsApp chat in the meantime.
