Portuguese outlet O Jogo insists there is still “no green light” from Sporting CP for the striker’s departure, stalling the transfer.
This contradicts updates from Romano and David Ornstein, who had suggested that Arsenal had wrapped up a deal for the Swede.
Gyokeres, 27, is eager to join Arsenal and has even packed his bags for London, but no fee has been agreed yet.
Sporting remain firm on their valuation, while Arsenal work behind the scenes to finalize terms and avoid an expensive standoff.
Meanwhile, Manchester United remain frustrated as Gyokeres continues to reject a move to Old Trafford, despite his ties to Ruben Amorim.
The striker has reportedly made it clear that Arsenal is his only choice, effectively snubbing all other suitors this summer.
United fans now face the prospect of starting next season with Zirkzee or Hojlund over marquee options like Gyokeres or Ekitike.
Liverpool’s capture of Ekitike and Arsenal’s pursuit of Gyokeres underline United’s ongoing struggles in the striker market, reports Faithful MUFC.
Amorim and United must act fast to avoid missing out again and secure a forward worthy of their ambitions.
