Arsenal agree €63.5m Viktor Gyökeres deal with Sporting with add-ons still being discussed
Arsenal have agreed to pay €63.5m (£55m) up front for Viktor Gyökeres and are close to a complete agreement with Sporting over the Sweden striker. It is understood the clubs remain in negotiations over potential add-ons that could take the total cost of the deal close to €80m, with Arsenal believed to have offered a further €15m in performance-related bonuses for the 27-year-old. But with Gyökeres facing disciplinary action from Sporting after he missed his deadline to report for pre-season training on Saturday, there is confidence in both camps that an agreement will be reached and the deal is expected to be finalised in the coming days. The Guardian understands that the agents involved in the transfer will not receive the customary commission – typically about 10% of the deal's total value – clearing the way for Sporting to receive a larger sum up front. If Arsenal had met Sporting's initial €70m asking price under standard terms, the Portuguese club would have netted roughly €63m after fees. Under the new arrangement, they will receive slightly more without losing a cut to intermediaries. Tensions between Gyökeres and Sporting have grown in recent weeks as he has made no secret of his desire to join Arsenal. But their president, Frederico Varandas, had insisted they would not budge over their valuation of a player who scored 54 times in 52 games last season. He confirmed that Sporting intend to fine Gyökeres unless he can present a legitimate justification for his absence, such as medical grounds, extended leave authorised by the board or an urgent family matter. 'We are calm,' Varandas said on Saturday evening. 'Everything can be resolved with the close of the transfer window, a heavy fine and an apology to the group.' With reference to Arsenal he said: 'If they don't want to pay Viktor's fair market value we are very comfortable with that for the next three years.' Arsenal are also expected to make a new approach for Christian Mosquera this week after seeing their initial bid of £14m rejected by Valencia. The Spain Under-21 defender has already agreed personal terms for a move to the Emirates. Leandro Trossard could be sold to help balance the books, with Bayern Munich the latest club to show an interest in him. The Belgium forward has also been linked with Fenerbahce and clubs in Saudi Arabia and is likely to cost around £20m. Noni Madueke is close to finalising his £52m move from Chelsea to Arsenal and is set for his medical this week. The 23-year-old will sign a five-year contract. Arsenal have also made progress in negotiations over a new contract for Ethan Nwaneri, who has attracted interest from Chelsea and clubs in Germany but is expected to join his fellow academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly in agreeing a deal to stay.

Viktor Gyokeres goes on strike as Arsenal told they can sign him
Arsenal have been told Viktor Gyökeres will be their player once his asking price is met – with the Sporting Lisbon striker going on strike to force through his move to the Emirates Stadium. Gyökeres faces a fine after failing to report for pre-season training, amid discussions over a return to English football but no agreement made. Sporting are believed to want £60.5million up front for a move to go through. Sporting president Frederico Varandas has given the green light for Gyökeres to be part of Mikel Arteta's squad for next season but will not budge on the Portuguese club's valuation of the 27-year-old Sweden international. 'We're calm. Everything will be resolved with the close of the market, a hefty fine and an apology to the group,' Varandas said of Gyökeres' failure to return for pre-season. 'If they don't want to pay the fair market value for Viktor (Gyokeres), we're very comfortable with that for the next three years.' Gyökeres has a contract at José Alvalade Stadium until 2028, putting Sporting in a good position to get full value for him this summer. He has a release clause of €100 million but is believed to be allowed to leave for a lower price after two seasons in Primeira Liga. Varandas insists he will not be pressured into selling Gyökeres below Sporting's valuation. 'If the geniuses who are drawing up this strategy think that this is putting pressure on me to make it easier to leave, not only are they completely wrong, but they are also making it more complicated for the player to leave. Nobody is above the interests of the club. Whoever they are,' he told Agência Lusa. Gyokeres has experience of English football, having previously represented Brighton and Hove Albion, Swansea City and Coventry City. It was at Coventry where he first demonstrated his quality, scoring 21 Championship goals in the 2022-23 campaign to earn the move to Sporting. Since joining Sporting in 2023 he has scored a remarkable 97 goals in 102 matches in all competitions.
