Overview

• Juventus has offered Gyokeres a £11m-per-year contract and is preparing an €80m-plus bid to outbid rival clubs.
• Arsenal has put its pursuit on hold after bids for Gyokeres were rejected and has reached personal terms with RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
• Sporting Lisbon’s president insists there was no agreement to sell Gyokeres below his €100m release clause and is demanding a fee nearer to €80m plus add-ons.
• Frustrated by Sporting’s stance, Gyokeres has rejected reconciliation talks and threatened to go on strike to force through a transfer.
• Manchester United continues to pursue the striker despite his stated preference for a move to Arsenal or Juventus.
