Why Viktor Gyokeres Rejected Manchester United
Viktor Gyokeres has reportedly rejected the idea of a transfer to Manchester United, according to the Portuguese outlet Record.
The Sporting CP forward has decided against reuniting with manager Ruben Amorim, instead turning his attention toward a move to Arsenal.
Recent developments suggest that talks of a potential switch to Old Trafford have significantly cooled. The Swedish striker’s representatives have already communicated to Manchester United that Arsenal currently represents the most likely destination for their client.
Meanwhile, negotiations between Sporting and Gyokeres’ camp remain tense, particularly over the terms of a potential sale.
Arsenal, for their part, are preparing an improved second bid, exceeding €55 million plus an additional €10 million in performance-based bonuses—an initial offer that was turned down.
