Sporting vice-president Francisco Salgado Zenha says the club are yet to receive any offers for Viktor Gyokeres and will not be strong-armed into selling their best players.

Manchester United have also been credited with an interest in the 26-year-old, who is expected to be on the move when the transfer window opens.

Sporting vice-president Zenha, however, has stressed how they are under no financial pressure to sell and no offers have been made for Gyokeres yet.

“He has three more years on his contract,” Zenha told reporters in Portugal.

“At the moment there are no offers, he has three more years on his contract. I think the answer has been given.

“[Sporting’s transfer plans] won’t be any different from last year. We want to keep the best players and retain talent. We want to continue to be champions, have competitive teams and fight on all fronts.

“I have been in this role for seven years. In the years when Sporting were champions, we even made fewer sales than in other years ... the fact that we are champions gives us a greater ability to retain players and talent.

It is thought that Gyokeres could be snapped up this summer for around £60million and the striker was coy on his future when pressed on it last week.

“We’ll see, it’s football, you never know what can happen, it’s impossible to say anything for sure,” he said.

“I don’t know anything, I tried to focus on the last few games, if something is true we’ll see.”
