Swedish forward Viktor Gyökeres has reportedly agreed to waive €2 million from his salary in a bid to smooth negotiations between Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon. The Lisbon-based club is holding out for a higher transfer fee than what Arsenal has currently offered, complicating the ongoing discussions.
According to Portuguese sports daily Record, Gyökeres is doing his part to bridge the gap by sacrificing a significant portion of his earnings to help seal the deal.
This gesture highlights the player’s eagerness to join Arsenal, as both clubs continue talks with hopes of reaching an agreement soon.
