United, who are still looking to add a No.9 to their squad before the summer transfer window closes on September 1, was given another chance to sign Gyokeres by 里斯本競技， 根據 法布里齊奧·羅馬諾. The Swedish striker, however, has no intention of heading to Manchester as he remains keen on a move to Arsenal.
The Red Devils had an opportunity to match Sporting CP’s valuation for Gyokeres for the second week in a row as talks with the Gunners have stalled due to disagreement over the terms of payment for the striker’s €70 million (£60.6m/$81.4m) fee. While the Portuguese side want the entire sum of money upfront, Arsenal are offering to pay €63.5 million at first and the remaining amount in add-ons.
根據 The Athletic’s David Ornstein the Red Devils made a move for Hugo Ekitike earlier in the window, but the 法蘭克福 forward had his eyes on a 利物浦 transfer. A possible swoop for Gyokeres was then discussed, but United have decided that they won’t advance on any player unless they are eager to join the club.
United will jet off to the U.S. to continue with their pre-season preparations and are scheduled to play their first friendly against 西漢姆聯 at MetLife Stadium on July 26.
