An important development in Viktor Gyokeres’ transfer story that will notify Manchester United and Arsenal.
In the midst of heated transfer rumors, Viktor Gyokeres has intensified his efforts to make a shock move away from Sporting CP by acting rashly.
Due to his associations with a number of European powerhouses, such as Arsenal, Manchester United, and Juventus, Gyokeres’ name has dominated the transfer rumor mill.
While Juventus is eager to strengthen their forward line, Arsenal and Manchester United are determined to find a new number nine before the new season begins.
However, the Gunners are reportedly nearing an agreement and seem to be in the lead to sign Gyokeres.
The 27-year-old is “prioritizing” a move to the Emirates, where the team is attempting to sign him and has a hefty five-year contract ready.
However, Man United is still in the running and might pull off a stunning upset by snatching Arsenal’s deal.
After their time together at Sporting, Ruben Amorim is keen to get him to Old Trafford so they may finish their reunion.
After being on the books at Brighton, Gyokeres is certain that he wants to leave Sporting and go back to the Premier League.
In fact, he has no intention of returning to his current team for preseason training.
The star forward feels “betrayed,” according to David Ornstein, who also says that club president Frederico Varandas has “reneged on a pact to let him go for €60 million plus €10 million, which Arsenal have already surpassed but still no agreement is in place on a fee.”
Sporting granted Gyokeres a prolonged leave of absence as discussions regarding his future continued.
However, the article claims that he told Varandas he would not play for them again and was not present on Friday’s postponed return date.
After his amazing goal-scoring feats in Portugal, the Swedish international has become one of Europe’s top forwards.
Before scoring an incredible 54 goals in 52 games the previous season, he scored 43 goals in 50 games during his first season with Sporting after joining from Coventry City.
