Despite completing four deals in the transfer window so far, the Gyokeres deal seems to be progressing. Sporting Lisbon has set its sights on former Watford striker Luis Javier Suarez, who has reportedly had formal talks with the club's hierarchy. A deal is expected to be finalized in the next few days.
However, Almeria's sporting director Joao Goncalves has stated that the club will not let Suarez go for a low fee. He claims that Suarez's value is €40 million, and the club will defend its interests. Goncalves also mentioned that Almeria has had formal talks with other clubs, but not with Sporting Lisbon yet.
Arsenal's upcoming games against Milan and Newcastle United at the Singapore National Stadium may provide an opportunity for the Gyokeres deal to move forward. If a deal is agreed with Almeria for Suarez, it could pave the way for the Gyokeres transfer to be completed.
It is worth noting that Almeria's stance on Suarez's transfer has added a layer of complexity to the negotiations. The club's demand for a higher fee may impact the deal's progress, but it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold.
Arsenal's fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new striker, and the Gyokeres deal has the potential to bring a much-needed boost to the team. However, the transfer window is a complex and dynamic process, and only time will tell if the deal will finally come to fruition.
