The agent of Viktor Gyokeres may now claim a fee for all submissions that are more than £ 52 million and are ultimately rejected by Sporting Lisbon as his bitter transfersaga roles on
A clause in the sporty Lisbon contract from Viktor Gyokers with which the star of the star is rejected 10 percent of each bid above £ 52 million (€ 60 million) was taken into effect on Tuesday.
And that can further strengthen the hand of Arsenal as they want to seal the signature of one of the most coveted center of Europe, whereby L'Equipe claims that, through its representatives, that the Sweden International has agreed on a five -year deal with the Gunners.
This means that the only remaining obstacle between gyokeres that arrives in North Londs, is the transfer costs – a problem that can soon be solved with the 10 percent rejection clause that is now in force. Conversely, it would also worsen the problems between the player, his representatives and the club from whom he wants to leave.
Sporting has made it clear for months that they will accept nothing less than their release clause of £ 86 million (€ 100 million) for their top scorer. Arsenal, who can now look to stop their interest in RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, who negotiated with both strikers.
It has been claimed that Arsenal had a bid of around £ 60 million rejected by Sporting last month, although the Gunners remain silent about that problem.
Arsenal also pushes on with a deal for the Spain -midfielder Martin Zubimendi, although adding a striker remains the top priority of the window.
Gyokeres came to Sporting from Coventry City two years ago in a club record £ 17.2 million deal and has a contract that runs until the summer of 2028. His current club is insisting that they will only sell when the release clause is reached, but Gyokees claimed that he would leave a men's agreement with the hierarchy last year.
That was strongly refused by Furious Club -President Federico Varandas, who saw Gyokeres 54 goals score in 52 performances in all competitions last season, and a bitter row has developed.
The clause with the agent is interesting because, although he owes 10 percent of any bid that more than £ 52 million has been rejected, he chooses to take that percentage if an offer is indeed rejected, only the determination of sporting will harden and then reject further offers that do not give them what they want. That is why the negotiations between all parties make that a bit more complex.
Manchester United has also been associated with a movement for Gyokees, although their attention now seems to be on Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo who has already added Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a £ 62.5 million. United must also discharge various unwanted stars, including Marcus Rashford and Antony, to finance further expenditures in the summer window.
But it is understood that United believes that Gyokeres prefers a move to North Londs instead of a reunion with Ruben Amorim in Manchester.
