Sporting insist that they are owed some form of fee for the deal and had wanted €40m for the winger before he terminated his contract following an attack on the players at the club’s training ground.

The 23-year-old has played 19 times for Portugal and was a member of the squad at the 2018 World Cup.

Gelson scored 25 goals in 125 appearances during his three seasons in the Sporting first team.
