Comments · 62 Views

Does Gyokeres have a 'gentleman's agreement'? Have Arsenal or Man Utd made an offer? We unpick the rumours amid reports of 'blackmail' and a 'sales mandate'.

Viktor Gyokeres is at the center of a transfer saga with conflicting reports about his potential move. With impressive stats at Sporting, the striker is now seeking a transfer. Both Arsenal and Manchester United are eyeing him, but the details are murky.

It was initially rumored that Gyokeres had a 'gentleman's agreement' with Sporting allowing him to leave for €70m, but the club denied this. Reports of a 'sales mandate' and 'blackmail' by his agent further complicate the situation.

Despite the confusion, Gyokeres' desire to leave is clear. He has a release clause of €100m in his contract, attracting interest from top clubs.

Sporting President dismissed the claims of a pre-agreed fee, stating that no offer has been made for Gyokeres. The agent's alleged evidence of an agreement was also refuted, adding to the uncertainty.

Manchester United's bid of €60m plus add-ons was deemed insufficient by Sporting. Meanwhile, Arsenal's interest seems stronger, although reports suggest they may target another striker.

The situation is further complicated by a clause in the agent's contract that could increase Sporting's asking price. If triggered, the club could demand the full €100m release clause.

As the transfer saga unfolds, Gyokeres' future remains uncertain, with more twists likely to come.
