Viktor Gyokeres is, at the moment, one of the most coveted players in European football, the result of a 'hellish' start to the season, with a total of 23 goals and four assists after 18 official matches with the Sporting shirt.
The Swedish international has already been appointed to 'colosses' such as Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich, and José Fonte, a former central defender trained at the Alvalade club, believes that the management led by Frederico Varandas will have no choice but to be selling it soon.
"Portuguese clubs have no other option than to sell at the right price. We need to sell. Portuguese clubs have to sell one or two players, every season", he said, in statements given to the British bookmaker JeffBet.
"We don't have the same television rights as the Premier League, so we don't have the capacity to retain the players. It would be great to see Portugal with a little more capacity to retain its talent, of course," he continued.
"That's what people from the various federations are trying to do. Sporting will listen, and will probably have to sell Gyokeres, because Portuguese clubs have to raise a lot of money every year", he added.
