"One of Sporting's problems is that they tried to negotiate a transfer to Manchester United behind our backs. The deal was done because Manchester United offered a higher transfer fee. Gyokeres ended up joining Arsenal, but the Portuguese club were prepared to sell him to Manchester United. The Red Devils were offering them more money compared to the London club."
"The 27-year-old was one of the finest attacking players in the world last season, and he scored 53 goals in all competitions. It is no surprise that top teams wanted to sign him. Manchester United need to bring in a quality striker, and they were keen on the Swedish International. However, they failed to get the deal across the line. Manchester United ended up signing Benjamin Sesko instead."
Sporting CP attempted to negotiate Viktor Gyokeres' transfer to Manchester United behind the player's representatives' backs. Manchester United offered a higher transfer fee than Arsenal, and Sporting were prepared to sell to United. Gyokeres ultimately joined Arsenal despite the higher United offer. The 27-year-old scored 53 goals in all competitions last season and attracted interest from top clubs. Manchester United instead signed Benjamin Sesko after failing to complete Gyokeres' transfer. Gyokeres has had a mixed start at Arsenal and aims to establish himself as a leading Premier League striker. Arsenal seek a reliable finisher to help win the league.
