Everyone is exhausted by the Viktor Gyökeres file, and the Swedish striker in particular. After a simply fabulous season with Sporting (54 goals and 13 assists in 52 games), the 27 -year -old is now inhabited by the desire to leave Portugal and raise a new challenge. But the Lisbon club has not seen it with this eye and for several weeks, a tireless showdown has been engaged between Viktor Gyökeres and the player. So much so that it is disgusted by the methods of the responsibility.
In parallel, Arsenal had positioned himself on the file and had advanced well to negotiate with the Portuguese and an official first approach had been made. But a serious disagreement existed concerning the bonuses of the offer issued by Arsenal. Sporting requires that the variable share, up to 10 million euros, is easily achievable, while Arsenal opposes it. Which slowed down the debates. “If they do not want to pay the fair market value of Viktor, we are very comfortable with that for the next three years”assured the president Lisbon Frederico Varanda.
