It is undoubtedly one of the soap operas of the summer. For two seasons, Viktor Gyökeres has beenulting Europe. Stacking goals with Sporting CP, the Swedish striker comes out of two years of high aerobatics with the LisBotic training. 27 years old and benefiting from a craze that he has never had in the past, the former Coventry City now aspires to mark his history in larger clubs. In this sense, despite a release clause set at 100 million euros, Gyökeres had an agreement with its president Frederico Varandas to leave Sporting at a lower cost this summer. Finally, several offers around the 60 million euros have recently been repulsed and the rumble rose on the side of the Scandinavian striker.
Worse, the latter threatened not to take over with the residents of the José-Alvalade stadium if he does not get a departure in the coming days. This Sunday, The Mirror explained that Gyokeres, who is currently in his native country awaiting a transfer, obtained an extension of four days until Friday for a return of his vacation. However, the English publication affirms it 100%: a return to normal is clearly not topical and Gyökeres is ready to go to the standoff to force his departure to the Premier League.
The negotiations (strongly) intensified between Arsenal and Sporting for Gyökeres
Taken in the throat, Sporting has no more choice than to negotiate with Arsenal, the destination favored by Gyökeres. It is in this stormy context that negotiations have accelerated in recent days according to many media across the Channel. This Sunday, The Athletic Go even further and says that an agreement is very close between Sporting and Arsenal for the transfer of the 27 -year -old star. Discussions are now turning on the amount of the transfer.
Wishing to go absolutely to Arsenal, Gyökeres should not encounter any problems when initiating the five -year contract offered to him by the Gunners. According to the English media, Mikel Arteta pushes so that the transaction is completed as quickly as possible in order to be able to count on his new striker during the pre-season preparation. After the formalization of the arrival of Martin ZubiMendi this Sunday, Arsenal is finally in the process of being aggressive on the transfer market.
