is unique. Arsenal's two center goals this summer have had conflicts with their respective leaders due to the unacceptable gentleman agreement. Sheshko was exposed to resentment towards RB Leipzig. The situation in Zhekelais is obviously more intense. After the news of a suspected break with Sporting Lisbon's senior management came out, Athletics Chairman Valandas publicly fired back, angrily saying that he would not accept "threat, blackmail and insult" and confronted the star.

Zhekelais had a scandal with many wealthy families yesterday. The reason why he chose to stay in the team was due to his mentor Amorin and the club's guarantee - Sporting Lisbon once promised that the Swedish center could leave the team this summer with a fixed transfer fee of 60 million euros and a floating clause of 10 million euros. They would not insist on the 100 million termination fee.

However, in recent days, Lisbon did not comply with the agreement in the face of multiple inquiries, but instead demanded a transfer fee of 80 million euros. Zhekelais was "fury" because of this and even cleared all the content about Sporting Lisbon on his personal social media.

The Records learned through sources that Valandas and then Sporting Sports director Viana met with Zhekelais and his agents at the beginning of the season. At that time, the senior athletes made it clear that considering Zhekelais' age factor, they would not force interested parties to activate the termination clause. But there is one thing that Valandas did not clarify at the time the transfer fee for Zhekelaysh to leave the team.

In response, Valandas publicly responded through the media: "I want to clarify one thing: we have a consensus in Lisbon. (Early the season) We made two appointments: We will not ask for 100 million euros, and the transfer fee will depend on the performance of Zhekelais."

"How did he perform? 63 goals, 17 assists (two-line for the club and national team), excellent form, one of the best season performances in Portuguese football ever. Even if This, Lisbon has not demanded the amount of termination in its contract. "

" But people should be clear that threats, extortions and insults do not work for me. I can guarantee one thing: Zhekelais will not leave for €60 million and 10 million floating prices. It is impossible, and the game led by the agent will only worsen the situation. So far, we have not received any offer for him - whether this summer or yesterday's season."

"One of his agent's biggest concerns is whether we will ask for termination. He wants to ensure something. So what kind of agreement is reached? That is, Sporting Lisbon will not ask for termination now. There is only one reason: he was about to turn 27 at the time, and no player would leave Portugal for 100 million euros or 90 million euros at the age of 27."

"In that meeting, the agent wanted to set a specific amount. What I said at the time was: 'It makes no sense to set a number now, because I can't predict what will happen a year later. I don't know if he will be worth 40 million, 60 million or 80 million euros by then. The only thing I can guarantee is that I won't ask for 100 million euros.'"

27-year-old Jekelais joined Lisbon from Coventry in 2023, and has played 102 games so far and has scored 97 goals.
