Over the weekend, various Portuguese outlets claimed that Man United had submitted a &euro;60m (&pound;52m) bid plus &euro;10m (&pound;8.6m) in add-ons to hijack Gyokeres.&nbsp;<\/p><p>However, it seems that the Swedish forward is only and definitely destined for Arsenal this summer. Transfer experts Fabrizio Romano and Ben Jacobs have firmly denied these reports. Romano cleared it on his YouTube channel that there have been no bid from Man United for Gyokeres.&nbsp;<\/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; Viktor Gy&ouml;keres mantains his clear position despite links with Man United and more clubs: he wants Arsenal. &#10084;&#65039;&#129293;<br><br>Total priority to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#AFC<\/a> project since June and no change of plans with agent Hasan Cetinkaya, on the same page with Gy&ouml;keres. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tVE8idBY3R\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/tVE8idBY3R<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1946910188998430902?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 20, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>He said, <strong><em>&ldquo;What about Gyokeres?
