Neither Gyokeres or Aguiar have commented publicly on their alleged split, while the duo still follow each other on social media. The reported split comes amid a bitter transfer saga involving Gyokeres and Sporting Lisbon this summer. The striker has been heavily linked with a move away from the Portuguese club, who have been attempting to increase the potential fee for a transfer. Reports have claimed Gyokeres will refuse to return to Sporting, with the forward said to be unhappy with comments made by Sporting president Frederico Varandas. Although he will be given an extra week off before he is expected to return to pre-season training, it is now anticipated that Gyokeres will stay away from the club. The Sweden international has been angered that the Portuguese champions will not honour the agreement that was in place to let him leave for less than his release clause. Varandas said: 'Sporting is calm regarding this matter. Secondly, Sporting does not need to sell Viktor Gyokeres. Fortunately, we have moved past the phase of selling our main asset.

Sporting has made a commitment that, after weeks of meetings, we will not demand the full amount of the clause; we will be reasonable regarding the amount requested for Viktor. ' Although Varandas acknowledged that Gyokeres is likely to depart, he stated that the fee will be much higher than the potential price of £60million plus £10million in add-ons. He also claimed that Gyokeres is worth more than Matheus Cunha, who joined Manchester United from Wolves for £62. 5million. 'Given the demands we consider fair, I believe Viktor could leave – unless he has the worst agent in the world, which is hard for me to believe, because he is one of the best footballers in the world. ' Gyokeres, whose current contract at Sporting runs until 2028, scored 54 goals in 52 club games last season. The prolific forward has been heavily linked with both Arsenal and Man United as the Premier League giants strive to strengthen their attacking options during the summer transfer window.
