Despite rejecting the offer, Sporting are willing to continue talks on the deal. With talks set to progress in the coming days as the London club look to close the deal as soon as possible.
While Arsenal are not giving up and are likely to increase their offer soon to convince Sporting to let the Sweden international leave. They have also not backed out of a deal for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Cechko.

With one of the key points being that he will not demand a €100 million release clause. But he will also not release him for €60 million plus a €10 million bonus because he wants more.
