Arsenal will try to sign a new top -notch striker this summer, with the new sports director Andrea Berta in charge of completing this goal. The club’s main goal in the position seems to have changed since its arrival, but now there could be complications that climb upon entering the transfer window.
For many months, Arsenal was determined to take a step by Alexander Isak, but Berta’s arrival seems to have poured cold water in this search, and also the fact that Newcastle does not plan to sell, not even negotiate with interested clubs.
Instead, Arsenal has addressed Viktor Gyokeres, to whom Berta has identified as a priority target. But it seems that the feeling of Striker Sporting CP is not mutual.
Viktor Gyokeres wants to join -Real Madrid this summer
According to Central Defense (via Teamtalk), According to Gyokeres, is very interested in a summer transfer to Real Madrid. It is said that the Swedish striker told his representatives to have conversations with the giants of the League in order to measure if they were interested in bringing it to Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid already has Kylian Mbappe in his books, so it would be a surprise if they had to follow an agreement for Gyokeres. And reports have also suggested that they are considering other options to improve their workforce in summer, one of which is another goal of the arsenal at the midfielder of the Real Sociedad, Martin Zubimendi.
The Arsenal is unlikely to be affected by Gyoken’s alleged interest in a transfer to Real Madrid, and will surely advance with plans to have it as a new initial striker. And, although the European champions defending will probably not be competitions, they are likely to be challenged by Chelsea and Man United.
