Real Madrid have declined the opportunity to acquire Arsenal’s target, Viktor Gyokeres, this summer, following his recent strike. Following another season of prolific scoring with Sporting Lisbon, the highly sought-after striker is contemplating a new beginning.
In 52 appearances across all competitions, the 27-year-old striker scored 54 goals, assisting Sporting in winning both the Primeira Liga and the Taca de Portugal. The Mirror reports that Gyokeres is adamant about switching to Arsenal over other potential candidates.
However, a dispute between him and Sporting could potentially halt any potential transfer. Sporting has denied allegations of a “gentleman’s agreement” to allow Gyokeres to leave for £60 million. The club’s president, Frederico Varandas, has criticized the player’s representative. “We at Sporting possess common sense,” I would like to emphasize.
What was his level of performance? Sixty-three goals, 17 assists (for both club and country), and exceptional form all contributed to one of the most exceptional seasons in Portuguese football history. “Sporting will not demand his release clause even then.” However, it is important for individuals to be aware that I am not amenable to threats, extortion, or insults.
I can assure you that Viktor Gyokeres will not depart for a sum of €60 million, in addition to an additional €10 million in add-ons. “He will not, and the agent’s behavior will only exacerbate the situation.” At present, we have not received a single offer for him, according to the Mirror.
