According to reports, Gyökeres will not attend training at Sporting, regardless of when it takes place. This is a clear sign of his frustration with the club's inability to agree on a transfer fee with Arsenal. Despite the club's negotiations with Sporting, the two sides have failed to reach an agreement over the €80m asking price.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have signed Chelsea's Noni Madueke for over £50M, which has raised questions about the club's spending priorities. With the funds available, it is surprising that the club has not been able to meet Sporting's valuation of Gyökeres.

As the transfer saga continues, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal will be able to meet Sporting's demands or if Gyökeres will stay with the Portuguese side. If the latter happens, the striker's training debacle will be all for nothing.

The situation highlights the challenges of negotiating transfer fees in football, where clubs often have different priorities and valuations. In this case, Sporting is standing firm on their €80m asking price, while Arsenal is unwilling to meet that valuation.

The outcome of this transfer saga will be closely watched by football fans around the world, particularly in the UK and Portugal.
