Manchester United once again was turned on the green light by Sporting CP to interrupt the Viktor Gyokeres with Arsenal, but the Swedish striker was still steadfast with the original choice: docked Emirates.
Sporting has a green light for Viktor Gyokeres
Last week, the media had a lot of news that Man United could take advantage of Arsenal to slow down in the negotiation process to jump in to win the signature of Viktor Gyokeres. However, according to the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Sporting CP once again actively paved the way for the “Red Devils” this week, but the 26 -year -old striker did not have the moment. His goal is still Arsenal.

The biggest problem lies in the payment fee of 70 million euros. While Sporting wanted to receive enough money immediately, Arsenal only agreed to pay 63.5 million euros in advance and the rest was in the form of surcharges. This makes the negotiation process in a deadlock.
However, as revealed by David Ornstein of The Athletic, Man United is changing the approach on the transfer market. “Red Devils” used to contact Hugo Ekitike at the beginning of the summer market, but the striker of Eintracht Frankfurt leaned towards the ability to join Liverpool. Similar to the case of Gyokeres, the club leadership only wants to promote if the player really desires to wear Man United, which clearly does not exist with the Swedish player.
Meanwhile, the army of coach Ruben Amorim will fly to the United States to continue the preparation phase before the season. Their first friendly match will be the match with West Ham on MetLife on July 26.
