Gyokeres' agent blasts Sporting CP for lack of respect
Viktor Gyokeres' agent has admitted he'll never understand Sporting CP's stance on the player's summer transfer to Arsenal, insisting the gentlemen's agreement to leave was genuine. Photo via Jonathan Chalkias was one of Viktor Gyokeres' representatives working on the player's summer transfer from Sporting CP to Arsenal, a more difficult process than anyone initially expected. Throughout the 2024/25 campaign, multiple news outlets had talked about Gyokeres' gentlemen's agreement with Sporting CP. If he stayed and played for them for one more season, he'd be allowed to leave for €60m plus €10m in add-ons. Sporting made no attempt to play down the reports until after the season was over, at which point they publicly denied the existence of such an agreement. Photo via Part of the problem was seemingly that Gyokeres' camp made the agreement with Hugo Viana, who subsequently departed to join Manchester City. But when asked about the existence of the agreement this week, Chalkias was clear that it was genuine. 'Yes, there has been (an agreement),' Chalkias told WTV. 'If Hugo Viana had remained at Sporting, this deal would have been done in an hour. '[The agreement] was written down, but you would have had to start a legal process that there was no time for. 'After all he has done for Sporting…that you didn't have more respect for his will and his dreams after these two seasons and three trophies and all the goals. I will never understand that.' Photo via Sporting pushed for more money, hoping to bring in at least €70m plus €10m in add-ons, and wanting most of those add-ons to be effectively guaranteed payments. Arsenal eventually got a deal for €63.5m plus €10m, but only because Gyokeres' key representative Hasan Cetinkaya agreed to give up his cut. With Cetinkaya giving up his portion of the payment, the full €63.5m could go to Sporting, the same amount they would have received if Arsenal had paid €70m and Cetinkaya had taken 10%. So Arsenal got a cheaper deal, Sporting got the money they wanted, and Cetinkaya's client got the move. The agent just didn't get his full commission for it. Photo via Sporting had tried various other tricks during negotiations, including attempting to create a bidding war with other clubs. But Chalkias confirms that Gyokeres never had any interest in joining anyone else. 'He's been locked in from day one, it was only Arsenal for him,' Chalkias added. 'But he also consulted with us, what do you think? And Hasan [Cetinkaya] was clear from day one, and so was I. 'This situation that Arsenal has now, the whole world knows they need a striker. And just look at the football they play… against Real Madrid in the Champions League. And then to get the chance to come here and be that nine. 'How could anyone say no to that?'

Revealed – Why Atalanta Are Reluctant To Accept Low-Ball Inter Milan Offer For Ex RB Leipzig Star
Atalanta are reluctant to accept too low a bid from Inter Milan for Ademola Lookman as they still owe RB Leipzig a sell-on fee. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan are pushing to wrap up a deal for Atalanta forward for Ademola Lookman. This week, the Nerazzurri reportedly made an offer worth €45 million including add-ons. That is up from their initial bid of €40 million. Meanwhile, the desire of the player himself is also key. Lookman has been pushing for the move to Inter from the start. Atalanta Reluctant To Accept Low-Ball Inter Offer For Lookman Due To Sell-On Fee BERGAMO, ITALY – MAY 12: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta warms up prior to the Serie A match between Atalanta and AS Roma at Gewiss Stadium on May 12, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) Tuttosport report that Atalanta have never officially given Inter a valuation of €50 million for Lookman. However, that is very much the region that the Bergamo-based club are hoping for. And a big part of the reason for this is the fact that Atalanta owe RB Leipzig a sell-on fee for Lookman. La Dea signed Lookman in 2022. The Nigerian arrived from Leipzig after he'd been on loan with the likes of Fulham and Leicester City in the Premier League. As part of that deal, Atalanta owe Leipzig a portion of any fee they receive for Lookman. Therefore, if the fee is relatively low, the La Dea wouldn't actually profit that much.

Morning Bid: Megacaps boom, dollar surge cools
By Mike Dolan LONDON (Reuters) - What matters in U.S. and global markets today By Mike Dolan, Editor-At-Large, Finance and Markets Blowout results from megacaps Microsoft and Meta catapulted U.S. stock futures up more than 1% on Thursday, while an overnight dollar surge on hawkish noises from the Federal Reserve cooled a touch as the Bank of Japan gave similar signals today. The week's blizzard of economic data and corporate earnings, trade deadlines and central bank decisions have helped Wall Street stocks and the dollar build a head of steam, with the greenback hitting two-month highs on Wednesday as Fed easing expectations retreated sharply. The dollar is now on course for its best week in almost three years. I'll provide a rundown of the rest of today's market news and then discuss how the current trajectory of the trade war could potentially depress goods price inflation in Europe, re-igniting calls for more monetary easing. * In the face of above-forecast U.S. GDP, inflation and payroll readings, the Fed on Wednesday signalled it was in no rush to cut rates again despite intense political pressure, knocking year-end easing bets back 10 basis points to just 35 bps. Futures now only see a 50-50 chance of a rate cut in September. June U.S. inflation updates are due later today, with July's employment report out Friday. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan nudged up its inflation and GDP forecasts, increasing expectations for another rate rise there this year, which bolstered the yen. * Microsoft and Meta delivered big earnings beats after Wednesday's bell, causing their share prices to soar 9% and 12%, respectively, after hours, as investors welcomed news of artificial intelligence spending and cloud revenue. Microsoft is now on track to see its valuation eclipse $4 trillion. S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures both climbed more than 1% before today's open. European and Japanese stocks also advanced, while China's bourses bucked the trend on disappointing business surveys and trade tensions. * As Friday's U.S. tariff deadline nears, President Donald Trump said the U.S. will charge a 15% tariff on imports from South Korea, down from a threatened 25% and similar to deals for Japan and Europe. Canada and Mexico have yet to agree to separate deals, India faces 25% tariffs, and Brazil is still saddled with 50%. China's temporary pact with America was rolled over, but it too faces higher U.S. tariffs than Europe or Japan. But Trump also sent copper prices down almost 20% after saying 50% tariffs on imports of copper pipes and wiring would kick in on Friday, short of the sweeping restrictions expected and with several exemptions. Today's Market Minute * President Donald Trump said on Wednesday the U.S. will charge a 15% tariff on imports from South Korea, down from a threatened 25%, as part of a deal that eases tensions with a top-10 trading partner and key Asian ally. * U.S. President Donald Trump intensified his trade war with Canada a day ahead of his August 1 deadline for a tariff agreement, saying it would be "very hard" to make a deal with Canada after it gave its support to Palestinian statehood. * The Bank of Japan revised up its inflation forecasts on Thursday and offered a less gloomy outlook on the economy than three months ago, keeping alive the possibility of a resumption in interest rate hikes this year. * Trump has tempered his most belligerent trade threats and begun striking deals with major partners, meaning most countries won't face the punishing tariffs announced on 'Liberation Day', but ROI columnist Jamie McGeever writes that there is one major exception: Brazil. Chart of the day Big Tech is spending more than ever on artificial intelligence - but the returns are rising too, and investors are buying in. AI played a bigger role in driving demand across internet search, digital advertising and cloud computing in the April-June quarter, powering revenue growth at technology giants Microsoft, Meta and Alphabet. The upbeat commentary also bodes well for Amazon, the largest U.S. cloud provider, which reports earnings after Thursday's market close. Today's events to watch * U.S. June personal consumption expenditures inflation gauge (8:30 AM EDT), weekly jobless claims (8:30 AM EDT) U.S. Q2 employment costs (8:30 AM EDT), Chicago July business survey (9:45 AM EDT); Canada May GDP (8:30 AM EDT) * U.S. corporate earnings: Apple, Amazon, Ameren, AbbVie, Biogen, Bristol Myers Squibb, Eastman Chemical, Clorox, CVS, Comcast, Resmed, Cigna, Edison, Stryker, Mastercard, Intercontinental Exchange, Coinbase, S&P Global, Southern, Howmet, Masco, First Solar, Eversource, Ingersoll Rand, PG&E, PPL, Xcel Energy, Baxter, Mettler-Toledo, Wills Towers Watson, International Paper, AMETEK, Kimco, CMS Want to receive the Morning Bid in your inbox every weekday morning?
