Arsenal's interest in Viktor Gyokeres appears to be waning as they struggle to agree on a transfer fee with Sporting. Gyokeres has excelled since joining Sporting from Coventry City, scoring 97 goals and providing 28 assists in 102 matches. Sporting demands 60 million euros plus 9 million euros in add-ons, while Arsenal offers 56 million euros with lower add-ons. This impasse has led Arsenal to adopt a more dismissive attitude towards the negotiations, indicating potential abandonment of the pursuit.
Arsenal are prepared to give up on their hopes of bringing Viktor Gyokeres to the Emirates Stadium after being frustrated in their efforts to strike an agreement with Sporting.
Sporting have set their demands accordingly, not settling for less than 60m up front plus 9m in add-ons for Gyokeres.
Arsenal, who want to structure the payments as 56m up front, 4.5m in add-ons and 8.5m triggered by performance-related metrics, are facing difficulties in negotiations.
Sporting are metaphorically picking up the phone and immediately hanging up whenever they see Arsenal's number appearing on their screen.
