Atlético Madrid Monitoring Arsenal’s Move for Viktor Gyökeres as Transfer Tension Rises
Transfer Alert: Atlético Madrid Keeping Close Watch on Viktor Gyökeres Situation
Spanish giants Atlético Madrid are now closely monitoring developments between Arsenal and Sporting CP regarding the potential transfer of Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres.
Arsenal have long identified Gyökeres as their priority signing this summer and reportedly agreed on personal terms and a package worth around €65 million + bonuses. However, negotiations have hit a wall as Sporting continue to insist on higher upfront fees or full activation of the €100 million release clause.
With talks stalling, Gyökeres has made his intentions clear by refusing to join Sporting’s pre-season training—a move signaling his desire to leave.
🔴 Atlético’s Move?
Sources indicate that Atlético Madrid are now considering a formal approach. Manager Diego Simeone is a known admirer of Gyökeres’ physicality, work rate, and finishing—qualities that suit Atleti’s style of play. The Spanish club is prepared to enter the race if Arsenal fails to meet Sporting’s demands.
This development puts pressure on Arsenal, who must either restructure their bid or risk losing out on one of Europe’s most in-form forwards.
