Both Arsenal and Manchester United will have to strengthen in the centre-forward position, with the same goal of being Sporting 27-year-old Swedish centre-forward Jokreis, but both teams have struggled with the fight for Jokres as Sporting demand a sky-high transfer fee and the player asks for a high salary.
According to the latest news from Portuguese media Maisfutebol, Arsenal's official offer of 60 million euros for Jokres has been rejected, and Portuguese insist on 80 million euros.
It is reported that Arsenal's offer plan is less than 60 million euros for the fixed part and more than 60 million euros for the floating part, but Sporting de Portugal has rejected Arsenal's first offer, and the negotiations between the two sides have reached an impasse and will still be negotiated in the future.
Manchester United's offer is €60 million fixed + €10 million floating, but this still falls short of Sporting's €80 million price tag. At the same time, Manchester United's personal treatment negotiations with Jokreth have also reached an impasse, and the player's weekly salary is difficult for Manchester United to meet.
From a personal point of view, Jokres is 27 years old and has not proven in the top five leagues, Arsenal and Manchester United can sign Jokreis, and it is also the right medicine, but a transfer fee higher than 60 million euros is a risk, if it is still a high-salary contract, it is even more risky, and Jokres is likely to be smashed in the hands of Sporting Portugal.
