The Gunners&rsquo; have made some decisive progress in negotiations. Reportedly, they&rsquo;ve agreed to pay a fixed fee of &euro;63.5m (&pound;54.8m) plus &euro;10m (&pound;8.6m) in add-ons.<\/p><p>This would bring the total package to sign Gyokores to &euro;73.5m. The striker&rsquo;s agent has reportedly waived his commission to help smoothen the deal. This has allowed Arsenal to edge closer to securing Mikel Arteta&rsquo;s top target this summer.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680;&#10084;&#65039;&#129293; The deal between Arsenal and Sporting for Viktor Gy&ouml;keres is now being sealed tonight with all parties involved.<br><br>After agent&rsquo;s decision to reduce his 10% compensation, Arsenal will pay initial fee worth &euro;63.5m plus &euro;10m add-ons being completed.<br><br>Here we go, soon. &#9989;&#128284; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Abt6tlaROm\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/Abt6tlaROm<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1944482856480211106?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 13, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Talks between the two clubs had been tense for some time.
