MU is ready to spend 80 million euros to win the European 'killer' right under Arsenal's nose

mjaynta3nzhhmje1ndi3mdgyztk0owq3y2e3zjvhywi5nzvmmjc.jpg — Last season, Gyokeres scored 39 goals for Sporting.

In recent days, Arsenal's efforts to recruit Gyokeres have received a continuous cold shower from the club that owns this striker, Sporting Lisbon. The London team is only willing to spend 60 million euros plus 10 million euros in performance bonuses to convince Sporting, but their partner wants more.

This led to disagreements between the two clubs over performance bonuses and payment schedules, with Sporting demanding a larger upfront payment. It is believed they wanted a lump sum of 75 million euros instead of the 60+10 Arsenal had proposed.

Sporting's stubbornness made Arsenal falter. For many days, the London club has been silent, showing no signs of being willing to pay more for Gyokeres. And even though Gyokeres put a lot of pressure on the Portuguese club by skipping training and refusing to go on tour, things still could not progress. Sporting was determined to stand firm, causing Gyokeres' father to be "in tears" when he saw his son being imprisoned at Sporting.

In that context, Man United has made an offer of 80 million euros, hoping to surpass Arsenal to bring the Sporting Lisbon striker to Old Trafford. According to Portuguese newspaper SIC Noticias, negotiations with Sporting Lisbon are progressing well. MU is about to reach a comprehensive agreement when this price fully meets the requirements of the partner.

However, the difficulty here is that Gyokeres only wants to play for Arsenal. He has verbally agreed to move to Arsenal and signed a 5-year contract. Moreover, the Swedish striker only wants to play for clubs that play in the Champions League next season, and Man United cannot give him this opportunity.
