The boss of Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, made a request involving Viktor Gyokerres while the saga involving the Sports CP striker continues to scold.
Gyokerres, the main target of Arsenal to strengthen their attack, was in contradiction with the president of the club Frederico Varandas for the transfer and refused to return to the first team training in order to obtain the move.
The sport back to action on Monday in a friendly match against Sunderland, Gyokerres would be in Stockholm while waiting for the developments of the agreement after a moving van has been seen removing the personal effects of his property in Lisbon.
Although Sporting and Arsenal would have agreed with fixed costs and would have made a breakthrough in the negotiations, the two parties disagree on a key element of the agreement.
Earlier this week, David Ornstein reported that Varandas “wanted complementary, fixed and guaranteed additional modules” amounting to 10 million euros, but Arsenal has a different vision and wishes that 2.5 million euros in premium payments are more difficult to make.
Arteta, having already made three summer signatures, wants the agreement to be enveloped in an imminently and Portuguese manner Ball Let’s say he asks that Gyokerres be on the flight of Arsenal for Singapore.
During a pre-season tour in Asia, the Gunners will face AC Milan, Newcastle and Rivals Spurs in very publicized friendly matches.
But with a complete agreement not yet beaten, it seems more and more unlikely that Gyokerers be on the plane for the tour.
If the clubs arrive on the same wavelength regarding the nature of the additional modules, the friendly matches against Villarreal and Athletic Club seem more realistic.
The disagreement of Viktor Gyokerres of Arsenal and Arsenal explained
Arsenal agreed with fixed costs of 54.8 million pounds Sterling plus 8.6 million pounds sterling in additional modules for gyoker, whose agent would have given up his commission costs to help accelerate the transfer.
However, there is a difference in key opinion with regard to additional modules. About SportswatchSporting’s desired arrangement is 2.5 million euros once Gyokerers plays 20 times, 2.5 million euros for the next 20 appearances and 2.5 million euros if Arsenal qualifies for the Champions League for the fourth consecutive season.
They should then be due to an additional 2.5 million euros if Gyokerers made 20 other appearances in 2026/27.
But Arsenal wants a part of the additional modules to be less achievable and this was the point of collision of the agreement.
After signing in Coventry City, Gyokerres scored 97 goals in 102 games for sport and has become one of the most devastating strikers in Europe.
