At the same time, The Athletic writes that an agreement is near. The transfer sum is reported to land at 63.5 million euros plus 10 million euros in bonuses, totaling just over 820 million kronor.
"Only the last details and minor adjustments remain before the transfer can be completed", the newspaper writes.
Viktor Gyökeres' transfer to Arsenal has been a summer saga where the Swede, according to reports, refused to train with Sporting after a conflict arose regarding an agreed-upon transfer sum.
The striker has scored 97 goals and 28 assists in 102 matches for Sporting. He has also won two league titles and one cup title.
Gyökeres was trained in IFK Aspudden-Tellus and Brommapojkarna before moving to Brighton in 2018. He was loaned out to St Pauli, Swansea, and Coventry before joining Sporting in 2023.
The contract is said to extend over five years.
