Yorke s joining the Gunners failed, family breaks

July 20 Arsenal and Portugal Sports' transfer negotiations on striker Yorke are in a deadlock, and the prospects are becoming increasingly bleak, which has also put Yorke's family in extreme grief.

Since June this year, Arsenal has shown great interest in Yorkress and initially prepared a quotation of 55 million euros plus 10 million euros floating bonus, but it has not been officially submitted due to the large gap between the estimated transaction price and the Portuguese Technological price. Although Arsenal subsequently raised its quotation to 63.5 million euros plus 10 million euros floating bonus, and the Yorke broker even voluntarily gave up the commission of 7 million euros to facilitate the transaction, it still failed to meet the tough asking price of 80 million euros.

The negotiation process between the two sides has been constantly turbulent, and now it is stuck on the bonus terms. The Portuguese expects that the terms are practical. For example, if Yorkeus plays 20 games for Arsenal, the Portuguese will receive 2.5 million euros. This is acceptable, but the other bonus terms proposed by Arsenal are difficult to satisfy them. Arsenal has not contacted Portuguese Sports for six days after the negotiations failed on Monday. Meanwhile, Arsenal has set off to Asia as planned for the preseason tour, and Yorke is not on the accompanying list.

As the transfer hope was shattered, Yorke's family was deeply saddened. They believe that Yorke has made a lot of contributions during his time at Portugal, and Portugal should respond more actively to the players' transfer demands. According to The Globe, Yorke's father was particularly sad during this period and was crying all day long. At present, Yorke, whose contract with Portuguese has expired in 2028 and has a termination fee of up to 100 million euros, has been absent from training for eight consecutive days and is suffering from club discipline. His future football path is full of uncertainty.
