Although Arsenal have not officially pulled out of negotiations, their attempt to persuade Sporting CP to sell Viktor Gyökeres for €65 million plus €15 million clearly indicates that the possibility of restarting talks is extremely slim.
This possibility has not been ruled out, but in fact, multiple sources yesterday suggested that the deal has already fallen through. The final outcome will only be known in the next few hours, with tomorrow (Friday) set to be a decisive day.
Viktor Gyökeres was instructed to report for training in Alcochete this Friday after the end of his vacation, but as reported by Record, the forward has no desire to return to Lisbon or even put on a Sporting CP jersey again unless there is a fundamental change in circumstances in the meantime.
According to information collected by this newspaper, the player is currently in Stockholm... He will stay there, waiting for a final resolution. The 27-year-old forward maintains his fitness daily, preparing to return to action... for his next club.
