Victor Jockeres eventually hit Bae Soo-jin.
Jockeres brought up the super-strong move of missing training. Multiple Portuguese media outlets said on the 12th (Korea time) that `Jokes was instructed to arrive at Sporting's training ground 'Cristiano Ronaldo Academy', but in the end, he did not follow suit.' The Sporting squad departed for Lagos, where a pre-season training camp will be held, except for Jockeres.
Sporting Chairman Frederiku Varandas threatened to impose 'heavy disciplinary action' "If they think they can recruit without paying the fair market price of Jockeres, they are completely deluded," Varandas said. "No one can be above the interests of the club. No matter who he is."
Jockeres is one of the hottest strikers this summer. Joquez, who has excellent physical and goal-scoring skills, has drawn attention by moving to Brighton since his professional debut with Bromapoicarna in Sweden in 2015. After a long loan spell, he moved to Coventry City in the English Championship (second division) and played as a main player.
Joquez exploded his potential by moving to Sporting in the 2023-2024 season. In his first season in Sporting, he played in 50 official games, scoring 43 goals and 14 assists and 57 offensive points. This was higher than Elling Holan (44), Kylian Mbappe (54), and Harry Kane (56) during the same period. This season has been even greater. Exploded 54 goals-12 assists in 52 games. It was a record of more than one goal per game.
In Sporting alone, Jockeres scored a whopping 97 goals and 26 assists in two seasons. It was simply a monster stat. Strikers from Portugal's Primera Liga, including Liverpool's Darwin Núñez, showed disappointment in the big leagues, but the stock price of Jockeres has risen day by day as high-quality front-line strikers have recently been a famine.
In particular, English Premier League clubs showed great interest. At first, it was strongly linked with Manchester United. Manchester United have manager Hu Beng Amorim. Amorim was joined by Jockeres in Sporting. He is a benefactor who has exploded his skills. Joquez is also very interested in reuniting with Amorim. Manchester United, which showed its worst performance last season, is aiming to reorganize its offense. After already confirming the signing of Matheus Kunae, Brian Mbommo was also close. Yokares is the pinnacle of the fire. He was determined to recruit even with a high transfer fee.
But, as it is known, Jockeres wants to go to Arsenal. TalkSport senior football correspondent Alex Crook said `Jokes told his family and friends that he would go to Arsenal.' "Manchester United are interested in Jockeres, but Arsenal can give them a chance to play in the European Champions League and win next season." Joquez broke up with her girlfriend who wanted to stay in Sporting and even cut her salary. After recently signing a five-year contract with Arsenal, Jockeres gave up 2 million euros of his annual salary to meet the transfer fee Sporting wanted.
But the situation is not easy. It's because of the transfer fee. Arsenal raised the offer from 60 million euros to 5 million euros. Arsenal offered a bonus of 15 million euros for a basic transfer fee of 65 million euros, but Sporting are sticking to a fixed salary of 70 million euros. The conclusion negotiations have stalled. Arsenal also came down from the negotiating table for now. Hecord said the Arsenal negotiating team, which visited Lisbon last weekend, returned to London.
The difference between the two sides is only 5 million euros, but the attitudes of the two sides are very stubborn. Sporting is not giving up 70 million euros. There are even voices from within Arsenal that 'Shouldn't we give up on Jockeres by this point?' As negotiations have already been faced down once, there are opinions that if the expected second negotiation does not end, another target should be found quickly.
Jockeres, who is desperate to go to Arsenal, is showing strong dissatisfaction with Sporting. This is because of the gentleman's agreement signed in September last year. The buyout for Jockeres was €100 million, but senior club officials told Jockeres at the time that they would accept an offer of €65 million, including bonuses. Fabrizio Romano, who is considered one of the top authorities in the transfer market, said 'Jokes decided to stay with the team despite many offers last summer and winter. In return, Sporting promised to allow the transfer for a reasonable amount this summer. However, Sporting broke this and are demanding a higher amount, and the player is unhappy with the club's actions.
Although Jockeres and Varandas even held significant talks, the arguments of both sides ran parallel. Jockeres once again said he would not return to training until the end of the transfer window if a reasonable offer arrived. Jockeres eventually took action. It seems to be gradually heading toward catastrophe.
