London, UK – The much-anticipated transfer of Viktor Gyökeres to Arsenal is now reaching its final stages, with the striker’s agents reportedly having landed in London to iron out the remaining details of the deal!
All is set for Viktor Gyökeres to travel for his medical examinations as soon as these final details are sorted, signaling that a formal announcement is imminent.
The transfer fee is reportedly “almost agreed” for a package worth €63.5 million plus €10 million in add-ons, bringing the total potential value to €73.5 million (€63.5m fixed + €10m add-ons).
A crucial breakthrough in negotiations occurred with a reduction in agent commission, which has played a key role in bringing the clubs closer to an agreement.
This commission reduction was reportedly fixed today.
Gyökeres, 27, has been clear in his desire to join Arsenal, informing Sporting CP that he “only wanted Arsenal, as soon as possible.”
He has reportedly reached a “total agreement” on a five-year contract with Arsenal until June 2030 and has been fully focused on leaving Sporting, even refusing to return for pre-season training.
This final push by Arsenal, after intense negotiations and a breakthrough over the weekend, marks a significant moment in their summer transfer window.
The Gunners are set to acquire a prolific striker who scored 97 goals in 102 matches during his two seasons in Portugal, a goal-scoring prowess that Mikel Arteta has been keen to add to his squad.
With agents on site and the deal effectively in its “here we go” phase, football fans are now eagerly awaiting the official confirmation of Viktor Gyökeres as an Arsenal player.
