Could Man United Sign Viktor Gyokeres? Shock Reports Say Red Devils Could Hijack Arsenal Transfer

LONDON, JUL 20 – Arsenal considers 20-year-old Bundesliga striker Nelson Weiper as an alternative amid stalled £63.5m Viktor Gyokeres transfer due to disagreements on payment and bonuses.

  • On July 20, reports emerged that Manchester United could attempt to sign Viktor Gyokeres due to an impasse between Arsenal and Sporting CP.
  • The transfer stalled because Sporting president Frederico Varandas refuses to lower demanding add-on payments despite Arsenal's £63.5 million upfront offer plus £10 million in bonuses.
  • Gyokeres has refused to attend Sporting's preseason training to force a move, causing emotional distress to his family and delay in contract resolution.
  • Varandas emphasized that the club’s priorities take precedence over any individual and made it clear that Arsenal will not be rushed or coerced into finalizing a transfer, as talks remain at an impasse.
  • The stalemate leaves Gyokeres' future uncertain, with Arsenal's pre-season tour underway without a deal and the possibility of United hijacking the transfer increasing.
