Sporting CP slashes asking price for Viktor Gyokeres amid Arsenal, Man Utd interest

Viktor Gyokeres, the Sporting CP striker, has garnered significant interest from Arsenal and Manchester United as he is expected to leave Portugal this summer. Reports indicate that Sporting is willing to sell Gyokeres for a reduced fee of £55 million to £70 million as a gesture of gratitude for his loyalty in the January transfer window. Gyokeres has had a stellar season, scoring 43 goals in 43 appearances, making him one of Europe's most in-form forwards. Arsenal appears to be the frontrunner for his signature, particularly as they are likely to compete in the Champions League next season, a factor that appeals to the player. Both clubs are positioning themselves to finalize the deal, with Arsenal's new sporting director, Andrea Berta, overseeing their summer strategy. As interest from clubs like Al Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia complicates the situation, Arsenal and Manchester United may need to act swiftly to secure Gyokeres before the window closes.
