I heard Real Madrid apparently rejected the offer from Sporting. Gyokeres was offered to Real Madrid with a high nominal, but was rejected because not being interested with his style. Xabi wants to recruit a player who tends to attack in the upper balls. We don't know what the player's fate now, he was involved in a conflict with officials club after they raise prices unilaterally to MU and Arsenal. Both club won't continue his sign Because too expensive and not appropriate with his age.
It was definitely not about his playing style or anything just that Real Madrid have made it clear that they are not signing any high value striker at the moment because they still see Mbappe as an ideal option in that position. They are simply exploring options to actually bring in a striker on a low budget and for a short term similar to the same way they did with Joselu just to add more depth to the current forwards. Their current stands of not loaning out Endrick this season too shows that they really want to depend on this players next season and the reason why they don’t seem to go for strikers like Gyokeres.
Viktor Gyokeres situation is seriously a frustrating one, he has actually ruled out signing for Manchester United at the moment with his top priority been Arsenal due to the European competition advantage. But Arsenal aren’t looking to actually agree with Sporting because they see it as too much and this is frustrating for the player because Sporting actually had him signed a new contract with the believe that they will agree for any transfer deal close to $65m and now they want more, which is why the player isn’t happy with the club
