PORTUGAL, JUL 12 – Viktor Gyokeres is on strike to push through a £69 million transfer to Arsenal, with Sporting demanding a £60.4 million initial fee plus £8.6 million in add-ons.

  • Sporting CP's president Frederico Varandas publicly challenged Viktor Gyokeres after he refused to report for training, citing a breakdown in transfer negotiations with Arsenal.
  • Sporting CP's €80 million asking price and refusal to lower it led to Gyokeres's strike and a public challenge from president Frederico Varandas.
  • Sporting confirmed Gyokeres faces disciplinary action for missing training, highlighting pressure tactics with a contract until 2028 and potential hefty fines.
  • Sporting CP's training disruption forces Arsenal to reassess their transfer plans amid uncertain negotiations and looming deadlines.
  • With the Asia pre-season tour on July 19, Sporting CP's firm stance and Gyokeres's absence may force a transfer resolution before the market closes.
