Reason behind Sporting offering Gyokeres to other clubs despite Arsenal talksArsenal secure Viktor Gyokeres for €63.5m (£55m) plus add-ons, ending a protracted transfer saga. The Swedish striker rebuffed other offers, including interest from Manchester United and Saudi clubs, favoring a move to the Gunners. Sporting CP explored alternative suitors to strengthen their negotiating position, but Arsenal remained calm, leveraging Gyokeres’ desire to join them. The deal allows Sporting to pursue Almeria’s Luis Suarez as a replacement.
