According to Portuguese outlet Record, a fee has been paid to give Sporting a greater share of the future sale of the striker.

Gyokeres signed for Lisbon last summer in a deal worth a reported £16.8 million, which also included a sell-on clause worth 15 per cent.

This meant that the Sky Blues would be entitled to 15 per cent of any future fee agreed by Sporting in a sale for the striker.

The Swede enjoyed a massively successful first season with his new club, which has led to speculation over his future in Portugal.

Sporting have been able to do this as part of an agreement with the Championship side, initially paying €2 (£1.7) million, with a further €1 million (£840,000) being paid due to a performance-based clause.

Gyokeres was previously linked with a move away from Sporting earlier this year, with the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea reportedly interested.
