MAJOR TWIST: Arsenal Handed HUGE Boost in Race to Sign World-Class Striker — Potential Transfer Could Accelerate Due to New Release Clause

The Sweden international is frustrated with how the club has handled his situation, claiming that he had already agreed with Sporting to leave this summer for a fixed fee. But Sporting are playing hardball, with president Frederico Varandas making it clear that they are holding out for a higher fee.

An interesting update from Portugal has now emerged.

**_[A Bola](https://www.abola.pt/)_** reports that Viktor Gyökeres' €60m release clause is now active, effective from today (July 1), and can be triggered by interested suitors.

If Sporting were to turn down any €60m offer for Gyökeres, they would be forced to pay his agent around €6m.

This development suggests that a summer move for Gyökeres could soon be completed, should any club activate the reported €60m clause. **_A Bola_** also adds that Arsenal are willing to meet that figure to land the Swedish goalscorer this summer.
