Sporting president Frederico Varandas has confirmed that striker Viktor Gyokeres will face disciplinary proceedings at the club after failing to turn up to training on Saturday.
Gyokeres was due back for pre-season training on July 12, after the club gave him permission to delay his return.
Arsenal have been in talks to sign the 27-year-old, but have so far failed to come to an agreement on a £69m deal.
Varandas said: "We're calm. Everything can be solved with the closure of the market, a hefty fine and an apology to the group.
"If they don't want to pay Viktor's fair market value, we'll be very comfortable with that for the next three years.
"If the geniuses who are devising this strategy think that this puts pressure on me to make it easier for him to leave, not only are they completely wrong, but they are also making it more complicated for the player to leave.
"No one is above the interests of the club. Whoever they are."
Sporting are believed to want an initial fee of £60.4m, plus £8.6m in add-ons.

if I was sporting I will take that money because he is 27 next year he will be 28 the value will not be the same. Also this guy doesn't want to play for you again. so nothing you get from him next session.

Clubs don't pay complete money in some of these deals. they have a limit of the amount they can spend every season. Sporting is just too greedy. After denying a gentleman agreement, you still want full money at once. Did they pay Gyokeres money at once? Greed
Thank you my brother. If you want to sell for a bigger amount, then u should be ready to spread.

l have been reading the comments, trying to see if there is someone who really have the knowledge of low of football for me to learn from, but all of you are just complaining, l want to know who is really wrong here, weather Arsenal are really don't have money to complete the deal or they are doing that for some unrevealed reasons, as well if Sporting have some reasons too and the middle men now, the player.

Guys, you need to understand what is exactly going on in that GYOKERES Contract. Sporting need the complete money without to be paying later, while Mmadueke is a deal to be paying later, although I don't like his playing type. Remember that Arsenal paid 55m Matine Zumy completely fee. Secondly, Arsenal is playing to Add another side wing which is Eze, and Cylster palace will ask for some money. So Arsenal us moving in a way they can balance their book. They do not make any sales yet
Then they should cut their cost according to their size

We arsenal supporters we know both the coach and the management the are playing with our intelligent because we all know that our biggest problem is striker if say they are serious to take a trophy the striker is the first position they have buy before any other players. And a player like Victor unstoppable attacker rejected interest from any other clubs cuz he wants to play for your team you can not spend the money to get him. cuz your club is not ready to compete for any European trophies. This arsenal I'm very tired 🙆🙆🙆🙆

what do players have to do to get out of their contracts like a normal worker resigning from his work. Are there no provisions in the contract for the players to get out of their own volition like say I am tired and I don't want to play football again, l am resigning

This club is not ready to compete for European trophies… Arsenal will always be in an error. You said striker was our mean priority you send representatives to complete the deal and it failed because of cheapness stupidity. While chasing forward that is not more than saka and spending that huge amount and leaving someone that score 100/200 goals in all competitions. I am tire and sick of this club.

This Gyokeres guy too, is too knowing, you don't have behave towards a club that gave you fame today, if they didn't raise you up, which top club in Europe will even know you. You should have continue going for training and keep calm for the deal to go through. You don't need to sabotage your current club because you have interest to go and play for a new club.
do you forget they have agreements that they will free him ?

He had the chance to leave last summer but they pleaded to him and had a gentleman's agreement and the guy did his best to win their league.

CUNHA AND GYOKERES WHO IS THE MOST SORT? YOU HAVE PAID 52 MILLION FOR MADUEKE BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY 69 MILLION FOR THE STRIKER THAT YOU WANT AND NEED ? ARSENAL ARE NOT SERIOUS, I HOPE AND PRAY UNITED SHOULD GO FOR HIM FAST.

Though he want the move, this no showing up for training strategy isn’t the way to go about it, his ego getting the better of him here and other teams will have a look at that as unprofessional especially if he end up staying at sporting!!
