The transfer saga surrounding Viktor Gy\u00f6kers and Arsenal is still not definitively over (source: skysports.com<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The saga surrounding the transfer of Viktor Gy\u00f6kers is still not definitely over and all Arsenal fans are eagerly watching social media to see if the transfer has finally been completed. In a nutshell: it hasn't. The notorious \"HERE WE GO<\/em>\" of Italian journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. What's holding back the Swedish marksman's transfer to north London? Let's take a look together at everything we know from verified sources. There are many interesting facts about one of the most talked about transfers of the whole summer. Let's get to it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to British journalist Chris Whealtey<\/strong> Arsenal's management, led by sporting director Andrea Berta remains completely calm about the transfer of Viktor Gy\u00f6kers<\/strong>. Despite the fact that the negotiations between the North London club and Sporting have been stagnant for several days due to the structure of bonus payments, the mood at the Emirates Stadium is optimistic. There was a significant shift in negotiations early last week, with the two sides finally finding common ground on the amount of the severance package. Arsenal will send the Portuguese club's coffers for the services of the Swedish international \u00a355 million<\/strong>. In addition to the fixed component of the transfer amount, the following are also included bonuses, which are a bone of contention between the two clubs<\/strong>. Surprisingly, however, the amount of bonuses is not the problem, which amounts to \u00a38 million<\/strong>, but the conditions for their payment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sporting insists that bonuses are easy to achieve<\/strong> in a relatively short timeframe, while Arsenal wants to split the bonus component between guaranteed<\/strong> (for a certain number of starts) and motivational component<\/strong> (e.g. winning the Premier League). From my point of view, discussions about how Arsenal pay bonuses are unnecessarily heated. This is one of the biggest transfers (if not the biggest transfer)<\/strong> under the guidance of Mikel Arteta's<\/a>and so I would simply meet the required conditions. Especially if it's not an astronomical amount. I understand that both sides are trying to prove their dominance to each other, but it would be in the best interest of the club to get the transfer done as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only Arsenal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The player himself and his agent are doing everything possible to make the transfer happen as soon as possible. Hasan \u00c7etinkaya, the Swedish footballer's agent, even gave up a 10 percent commission<\/strong>to facilitate negotiations between the clubs. Everyone can probably calculate the amount of money \u00c7etinkaya has lost by this gesture. Hats off to him. Viktor Gy\u00f6keres has made it clear since the start of the transfer window that Arsenal is his only option. Despite Sporting offering his services to Arab clubs or even Manchester United, the Swede's position is clear. Only Arsenal<\/strong>. Moreover, reports that Manchester United are planning to make a bid for Gy\u00f6kers are not true according to relevant sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gy\u00f6keres vs. Sporting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ever since Arsenal expressed interest in the Swedish striker's services, tensions have been building between Gy\u00f6keres and Sporting. The Portuguese club, or rather the club's president, Federico Varandas, did not comply with a verbal agreement on the amount of severance pay<\/strong>and the 27-year-old refused to join the Portuguese team's training in protest. Sporting's management formally issued the Swede with a disciplinary warning after he failed to turn up for pre-season training. However, the Swedish international, through his lawyers, has in return said that will never play for Sporting<\/strong>. After two fantastic seasons with Sporting, the relationship between the player and the club has come to a standstill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What's next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal fly to Asia for pre-season tour on Saturday 19 July 2025<\/strong>where he will take on AC Milan, Newcastle <\/strong>and Tottenham<\/strong>. The Canaries will be on an Asian tour until the end of July. If the management of the English team could negotiate a transfer in the next few days, it is possible that Viktor Gy\u00f6keres would join the team. Mikel Arteta himself is pushing for the transfer to be completed as quickly as possible<\/strong>. The Swedish striker is currently following an individual training program to keep himself fit. Although at the end of last week there was a chance that the Swedish footballer would become a Canaries player before Arsenal's departure to Asia, the opposite was true. Sporting's utmost reluctance in negotiating the form of bonus payments has delayed the implementation of the entire transfer. So the transfer saga drags on<\/strong>. Let's hope that in the next few days we will see a resolution in the form of a transfer to Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gy\u00f6keres is currently located in Mallorca<\/strong>where he is waiting for the departure instructions to London to complete his transfer to Emirates Stadium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
