Arsenal is going very close to recruiting Viktor Gyokeres, after agreeing to meet the financial requirements from Sporting. The London team also reached an individual agreement with the Swedish striker, who was determined to move to the Premier League this summer.
After months of negotiation with Sporting, the British team is now very close to owning the number one star in the Portuguese team. Gyokeres agreed with personal terms and ready to clean up his luggage to the UK to play. Arsenal is also said to have reached an agreement on the transfer fee with Sporting.
According to Record, Arsenal officials were present at Lisbon last Friday and was supposed to have sent a proposal worth 65 million euros (56 million pounds) with an additional $ 15 million (£ 13 million), right for the price of 80 million euros that Sporting offered.
Initially, the Portuguese team still wanted 70 million euros (60 million pounds) to be a fixed transfer fee and 10 million euros (9 million pounds) and the remaining surcharges. But after many hours of negotiation, they finally accepted the Gunners' proposal.
Also according to Record, negotiations with RB Leipzig and Benjamin Sesko have become too complicated, making Arsenal forced to turn to another target. A Bola added that Arsenal is considering the last 5 million euros in the surcharges into easy -to -reach terms, so that Sporting can be considered as a fixed transfer fee.
Gyokeres was originally expected to meet with Sporting on July 1 to prepare for the pre -season period, but was backed until July 7 because he had to play for the national team in June. However, this time limit continued to be moved to July 11, and the striker is expected to not return to Lisbon because he is ready for the mental way to switch to Arsenal jacket.
