Sporting CP has shown interest in Franjo Ivanovic as a potential replacement for Viktor Gyökeres, who is anticipated to transfer to a major European club. Initial discussions have taken place regarding the transfer. A transfer fee of 12 million euros has been mentioned, but it appears to be inadequate to persuade Union SG to finalize the transfer. Franjo Ivanovic, who joined Union SG from HNK Rijeka last summer, has established himself as a key player for the team, scoring 24 goals and securing a spot on the Croatian national team. Despite Union SG's intention to keep their star players for their upcoming Champions League campaign, Ivanovic is reportedly a target for Sporting CP, the reigning Portuguese double-winner, which adds complexity to the transfer negotiations.
