The transfer saga surrounding Viktor Gyookers continues to warm up while the best clubs in Europe, but Arsenal remains confident that they hold over in the race for the prolific Swedish striker.
Those who waste time with daily rumors, connecting it to Manchester United one day and the next one, should focus on a single club, while waiting for an official verdict.
The sources have informed Taken into account May Arsenal feel confident and believe that they occupy a strong position in terms of personal preference of the player.
The Gunners are convinced that the attacker considers a transition to the Emirates as an attractive next step in his career, despite the current uncertainty and the external noise of other clubs.
This despite the public statements of the president of Sporting, who insists that the club will not lower its release clause by 100 million euros.
At the same time, the Gyokerres agent presented a contradictory version of the events, referring to an old promise and supplying an apparently endless back and forth between the parties involved.
The club president, Frederico Varandas, publicly denied any intention to offer a discount below the liberation clause of 100 million euros from the attacker.
Arsenal, for the moment, has not triggered the clause, and negotiations should rely on the fact that sport softens its position or if a club is ready to respond to the price requested full.
This led to a complicated internal dispute, but Arsenal is always supposed to have a strong control over the situation and hope to conclude the talks positively.
Arsenal Lead Man United in Viktor Gyokerres Race
Man United has attempted an attempt, but so far, he has not had the decisive thrust necessary to overcome the Gunners in the race.
In the current state of things, they are behind Arsenal in the race, which would be much more advanced and determined in their approach to sign the attacker who scored 54 goals for sport last season.
As for Italian clubs? As explained previously, there seem to be few real opportunities at the moment.
Only Juventus showed interest, but even it was limited to a basic investigation, and the situation was complicated from the start.
Arsenal remains confident and well positioned in the gyoker race. Unless another club decides daring to disturb their momentum, the Swedish striker could very well wear red and white at the end of the summer window.
