Viktor Gyokeres has snubbed a move to Manchester United, as per reports from Portugal.
The Swedish forward was rumoured to be linking up with Old Trafford to join forces once more with ex-Sporting Lisbon gaffer Ruben Amorim. Record claims that Gyokeres has binned off the chance to don the famous Red Devils shirt, with his reps giving United the cold shoulder.
Arsenal now seem to be at the front of the queue to sign the Swedish star. This comes off the heels of Gyokeres breaking his silence about the transfer rumours surrounding his future.
Sporting had previously rejected a £55m offer from Arsenal, which reportedly annoyed the former Coventry ace – who thought he'd be let go for a more reasonable sum but found the goalposts had moved.
The situation led Gyokeres to hint at downing tools to push through an exit. He aired his views on Instagram, posting: "There is a lot of talks at the moment, most of it is false. I will speak when the time is right."
Sporting president Frederico Varandas also weighed in, insisting the club won't be pushed around over the summer. Chatting to Record, he stood firm: "One thing you should already know is me better. Threats, blackmail and insults don't work with me," reports the Mirror.
"I can guarantee that Viktor Gyökeres will not leave for €60m+10m (£51m+£8.5m) because I never promised him that. This game that the agent is playing only makes the situation worse. To this day, Sporting has not had an offer for Viktor Gyökeres, neither today nor last season.
"I think it's fair to explain the whole process. The process started last year when the season ended, Sporting were champions and had a fantastic season," Varandas added.
"During the transfer window we realised that Viktor was going to stay at Sporting because we didn't receive a single offer for him.
"When the season started, the agent approached Hugo Viana several times, asking if we could add an extra fee to the contract if he scored 'x' goals.
"I gave Viana the opportunity to negotiate, within reason."
