Despite being linked with both Arsenal and Manchester United, Gyokeres has been a key player for Sporting Lisbon since joining the club in 2023. The 27-year-old has scored 97 goals in 102 games, showcasing his talent and potential.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Varandas has rejected Arsenal's latest bid, which was for €65 million plus add-ons. Sporting are insisting on a fixed fee of €70 million, while Arsenal are willing to offer up to €76 million.
As negotiations stall, Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta may have to consider other options for a world-class striker. The club has already signed Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea and Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad this summer, but Gyokeres could be their third signing if they meet Sporting's demands.
The outcome of the negotiations between Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon will determine whether Gyokeres will join the Gunners this summer or remain with his current club.
