According to reports, Berta arrived in Lisbon the previous day for face-to-face discussions with Sporting's directors and to negotiate the transfer fee. It is believed that the goal is to reach an agreement worth up to £70 million.

It's worth noting that Gyokeres had already agreed to join Arsenal several weeks ago, with the terms of the deal reportedly worth £200,000 per week. During his time with Sporting last season, the centre-forward showcased his impressive skills by scoring 54 goals.
