Viktor Gyokees does everything he can to penetrate a move to Arsenal, despite the interest of Premier League -rival Manchester United, but it seems that Manchester City can also have a big word
A leaked voice note of the Chief Hugo Viana from Manchester City was finally able to push the '' Dream 'from Viktor Gyokees to Arsenal. The Sporting Lisbon Star is at the top of the shopping list of the transfer of Gunners.
The side of Mikel Arteta has already made an offer worth € 55 million (£ 47 million) plus a potentially € 10 million (£ 8.5 million), but that was rejected by sport. And since then there has been practical silence from North Londs, where Arsenal's pursuit is put on ice in the midst of interest in alternative attacker Benjamin Sesko.
However, the same cannot be said of the camp of Gyokeres and Sporting Lisbon. Allegedly, the striker threatened to force an exit to force an exit after he had believed that Sport had changed the conditions of his departure, while he also switched on transparent conversations with his current employers.
But it now seems that the agent of Gyokers would be willing to leak private conversations with ex-sport and the current man City Chief Hugo Viana to facilitate an exit. According to the Portuguese Outlet record, the agent Hasan Çetinkaya of Gyokores has proof that supports his side of the story.
He is said to have a voting note from Viana who agrees to sell the striker for € 60 million plus € 10 million in add-ons (£ 51 million plus £ 8.5 million), after a meeting held on September 19 last year. Sporty President Federico Varandas has already given his opinion about the conversations between Viana, Gyokees and Cetinkaya.
Speaking earlier this month, he said: “The agent spoke to us to add some clausules. Hugo Viana, as he always did, and very well, managed the relationship with the agents. This relational space was set up with the sports director.
“One of the agent's biggest concerns was whether we would demand the termination clause. Hugo Viana negotiated with the agents about different meetings until the agent demanded the presence of the President.
“During this meeting, including the President, the Agent and Viana, Gyokeres was not present. He wanted to guarantee certain things. And what was agreed? That sport would not demand a release clause now. For one reason: he would be 27 years old and not leaves Portugal at 27 for 100 or 90 million euros.

“In the same meeting, the agent wanted to anchor the exit to a value. I said this sentence: 'It is not worthwhile to set a value because I do not know what will happen in a year. I do not know if it will be 40, 60 or 80. What I can guarantee that I will no longer demand 100 million euros, I have never spoken about the player again, I have never again spoken.
“Now I see the agent in the press information of the press. I want to make one thing clear: Sporting has common sense and keeps his word. Gyokees scored 63 goals and 10 assists. Fantastic performance. Certainly one of the best players ever stepped on the Portuese Turf and sport will not require the clause.
“Now that blackmail and insults, sport will not accept it. One thing is certain: Sporting does not accept 60 million plus 10. From today, Sport has not received a proposal for Gyokeres.”
Record's report further details that Gyokees is willing to wait for what his 'dream' relocation to Arsenal is. He is currently on vacation while the Transfersaga continues.
