Sporting have requested four specific clauses to be included in the deal for Viktor Gyokeres, with Arsenal expressing concerns about one of the terms. Arsenal's interest in Gyokeres as a new striker has been evident since the start of the transfer window in June. Recent reports suggest that Arsenal is close to securing Gyokeres from Sporting, with negotiations ongoing.

According to a report from Record, Sporting wants four clauses in the deal, each worth €2.5million (£2.16m), totaling €10m (£8.5m) if all are met. The clauses include milestones like Gyokeres playing 20 games in England, achieving Champions League qualification, and completing another 20-game season in his second year.

Arsenal is content with most clauses but finds one too easy and seeks a more ambitious target. They are willing to pay €7.5million (£6.5m) in achievable bonuses and are discussing the final €2.5million (£2.16m) with Sporting to finalize the deal quickly.

The fee for Gyokeres is estimated to be around €63.5m (£55m) plus €10m (£8.5m) in bonuses. If the deal goes through, Sporting will need to allocate €4.35m (£3.76m) to Gyokeres' former club, Coventry City, due to a sell-on clause from his transfer in 2023.
