Arsenal have reportedly offered Sporting €55 million plus €10 million in add-ons during a meeting, although no formal bid has been submitted.

They are now willing to reach €60 million, still short of Sporting's €80 million valuation.

This has reportedly angered the player and his agent, who claim they were promised a sale for €60-70 million last year as a condition for staying at Sporting this season.

Reports from outlets like the Mirror suggest Gyokeres may be open to joining Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford.

The saga continues to unfold as Gyokeres is even considering not reporting for Sporting's pre-season training, scheduled to begin July 7, although this remains a last resort.
