Gyokeres and Inês Aguiar have reportedly broken up amid transfer speculation surrounding his future at Sporting CP.

Viktor Gyökeres has reportedly ended his relationship with Portuguese actress Inês Aguiar in a calculated move to “cut all ties to Portugal” as he eyes a summer transfer.

 According to Portuguese magazine TV Guia, the romance dissolved just before the Sporting CP star striker departed on holiday, during which she did not accompany him.

Sources allege that Gyökeres initiated the break‑up himself.

“Viktor doesn’t want anything that ties him to Portugal, especially because he has already decided that he will not continue at Sporting next season,” an insider revealed as per the aforementioned outlet.

 The couple’s romance began in early 2024 and captured headlines—yet now, with Arsenal knocking, Gyökeres is apparently wiping the slate clean.

The relationship’s unraveling didn’t happen quietly.

 Observers noticed Inês’s absence at the wedding of Sporting teammate Morten Hjulmand and Emilie Sofie Nissen, someone from her social circle—signalling trouble in paradise.

Then came the separate summer breaks as Gyökeres was spotted relaxing solo in Mykonos while Inês holidayed in Formentera.

As per the aforementioned outlet, Gyökeres broke the news to Inês before going on holiday.

“She was also prepared in a certain way, although it was something that was difficult for her, because she liked him a lot,” said the same source.

Despite this personal turmoil, neither has issued an official statement, and both continue to follow each other on social media.

The news of their breakup occurs in the midst of a fierce transfer tug‑of‑war.

Arsenal, Manchester United and even Juventus have all been credited with interest in the 27‑year‑old Swede, whose recent tally of 54 goals in 52 games has put Europe on notice.

According to reports, Arsenal’s have advanced talks and a personal agreement with the Swede, on a five‑year contract.

But negotiations have hit turbulence as Sporting is reportedly seeking up to £70 million, asserting that a prior gentlemen’s agreement for a lower fee has been discarded.

The club president insists they need not sell but won’t stand in the player’s way if offered fair terms.

Meanwhile, Gyökeres has allegedly refused to return for pre‑season and was granted leave until 7 July amid this standoff.
