The turning point of the Viktor Gyokeres case

Sporting Lisbon has made a concession, thereby opening up the opportunity to recruit Viktor Gyokeres for MU and Arsenal.

MU and Arsenal have the opportunity to recruit Gyokeres this summer.

Sporting have agreed to extend Gyokeres's holiday until July 7, rather than requiring him to return for pre-season training on Tuesday. The move is seen as a backroom deal, allowing the Premier League giants more time to negotiate and finalise a deal valued at £65m.

The reason for this concession stems from the tense battle between Gyokeres and the Sporting board. The 27-year-old striker has declared war, threatening not to return to training after accusing the Portuguese club of breaking a promise to let him leave for a significantly lower price than his £85m release clause.

Faced with Gyokeres's stubborn attitude, Sporting had to give in. The club also prepared an alternative plan by targeting Colombian striker Luis Suarez of Almeria. "Sporting Lisbon understood that they could not keep Gyokeres," Goal wrote.

The new development brings a big advantage to MU and Arsenal. In fact, the Swedish striker prioritizes arriving at Emirates Stadium because he has the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season.

However, Arsenal consider Gyokeres to be just a backup option for Benjamin Sesko. On the contrary, The Athletic confirmed that coach Ruben Amorim identified Gyokeres as an important target to upgrade the attack this summer.
