Arsenal has yet to agree on a transfer fee with Sporting CP, reportedly declining a €65 million offer for the striker. Despite this, the Portuguese football club remains firm in its stance, stating that the issue can be resolved through a combination of finding a suitable transfer solution, a fine, and an apology to the team.

Varandas expressed his confidence in the club's position, emphasizing that they will not compromise on the player's value, even if it means Gyokeres being unable to join Arsenal for the next three years. He also made it clear that the club's interests come first and that no player is above the team's goals.

Varandas' statement suggests that Sporting CP is willing to take a firm stance in the negotiations, and that they expect Arsenal to meet their demands if they want to secure Gyokeres' transfer.
