In a phone call, Jekalais asked the president of Sporting CP if he was prepared to go all out and boycott the games and training

2025-06-24
This seesaw battle has been played out several times and still has no end in sight.
The Record newspaper can now add a piece of information that undoubtedly clarifies the plans of Dzekelais: According to the information obtained by this newspaper from a person familiar with the matter, the Swedish player has spoken in person to Frederick-Varandas and told the Sporting CP president whether he intends to go all out this summer transfer window because the player himself has demanded that he must leave.
According to the investigation results of the Record Report, this new conversation took place about a week ago. After initially experiencing a period of shock, the two sides communicated by phone.
At that time, Dzekalis had the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with the management of Sporting CP over their obstruction of his transfer at a fixed price of 60 million euros plus a goal bonus of 10 million euros.
Jekalish and his representatives believe that the agreement between the two sides was committed after a meeting on September 19 last year.
The player himself couldn't contain his dissatisfaction and wanted to express it loudly to Frederico Varandas. He is determined to leave Alvarade and hopes to let the leader of the Portuguese sports club understand his thoughts.
In fact, it is precisely against this backdrop that a more public conflict, such as a "boycott", might emerge.
In his conversation with Varanda, Jekalais emphasized that he does not want and will not (voluntarily) return to Alvarad. He called on the president to understand the significance of this moment to his career, as he is 27 years old and faces an opportunity that may never come again.
Among those close to him, Jekalish showed great signs of exhaustion due to all these controversies. Those who know and follow him are convinced that if Arsenal sign another striker and let go of the Nordic player during this period, Dzekalish will never forgive those responsible for it.
