Gyokeres scored 43 times in 116 games for Coventry City before reporting 20 million euros [£17million] Switch to sports in 2023.
Since then, the 27-year-old has scored 97 goals in two outstanding seasons to become one of the most sought-after players in Europe.
Arsenal and Manchester United were both associated with Gyokeres, which have a publication clause of 85 million GBP.

When he spoke at Talksport breakfast, he said: “What he did, probably since he came in Coventry, was incredible to be fair.
“He was borrowed [from Brighton] And not really done much, then we signed it this summer and he came back another animal.
“He is so fast, so powerful and probably most of him that he had driven to continue and do something, and I think he probably did it again in sports.
“He went there and said: ‘I am the captain, I will score 30, 40 goals this season.’ I think he deserves his step when he gets him.
Talksport understands that Gyokokes has informed his friends and his family that he is expecting Arsenal this summer.
He worked with United head coach Ruben Amorim at Sporting, but the Gunners can offer him Champions League football.

According to reports, Gyokoker is considering drastic measures to deduct a deduction from sports.
Reports in Portugal claim that he threatens to hit the club in response to the club, which apparently increases their price.
Despite its release clause of 85 million GBP, the agent of Gyokoker, Hasan Cetinkaya, claims that sport would accept a transmission fee of around 60 million GBP.
This is due to a supposed gentleman agreement, but club president Frederico Varandas issued a strong answer in the early this month.
“Sporting will now not accept blackmail or insults,” he said. “One thing is certain: Sporting will not accept 60 million plus 10 [£51.5m plus £8.5m].
“To date, Sporting has not received a proposal for Gyokoker.”

Gyokoker seemed to react to Varandas’s comments with a cryptic message on Instagram.
“A lot is being talked about at the moment, most of it is wrong. I will speak when the time is right.”
