Giokeres is already the league’s MVP

Giokeres continues to improve on and off the field. The Sporting CP striker has become the most valuable player of the Portuguese championship after an update published this Friday by the specialized website Transfermarkt.

The Swedish national team player is currently worth 55 million euros. Four times more than the price (13 million euros) he received last July when he was hired from English club Coventry (taking into account passes and other associated costs in the first half of the year it cost 23.8 million Euro).

The Lions’ top scorer (32 goals in 36 games) is the third most valuable footballer in the world (€42 million) this season, behind Bellingham and Yamal – Real Madrid and Barcelona players recorded increases of €60 million each. .

At 25, Gyokeres played a crucial role in Sporting’s positive season, which halved the difference in his team’s value compared to Benfica. The Eagles, despite a slight devaluation of 1.4%, continue to be the most valuable team in the league (360.75 million euros), but the Lions (329.3 million euros, positive dynamics of 8.9%) are closer – the distance has decreased from the previous 63.47 million euros to the current 31.45 million euros.

FC Porto is still nowhere near the level of its two rivals (€283.6 million), despite its value rising by 10.3%.

Inacio and Pote remain protected
Gonçalo Inácio and Pedro Gonçalves were again absent from training this Friday, remaining “handed over to the medical department,” Sporting reports. The pair showed signs of muscle fatigue and were protected to avoid injury. However, it is possible that the center and midfielder will be available for Saturday’s visit (18:00) to Arouca.

Yulmand on Barcelona’s list
According to Danish newspaper Tipsbladet, Sporting midfielder Morten Julmand is happy with Deco, Barcelona’s sporting director, who could try to sign him in the summer.
