Yorke's transfer has become the largest transfer soap opera in the summer window so far. Even though the players have made it clear that they will not continue to play for Portuguese sports, and have even adopted various methods including strikes to express their determination, the deal still seems to be a certain gap from reaching an agreement. Just after Romano announced the "Here we go", several Portuguese media said that the offer for a fixed transfer fee of 63.5 million euros plus a floating clause of 10 million euros was rejected by Portuguese Sports. The offer proposed by Arsenal has actually basically met the 80 million euro transfer fee requirement of Portuguese. After all, Yorke's agent has given up 10% of the commission, and this part of the fee reaches 7 million euros, and the income obtained by Portuguese has also been met. Judging from the current news, the two sides do not have much disagreement over the players' fixed transfer fee. The main problem is the floating clause of 10 million euros. Portugal Sports believes that most of the contents of this clause cannot be reached and it cannot receive the entire 10 million euros additional bonus.

It is reported that Portuguese believes that "Of courses of 10 million euros, only about 3 million euros are easier to achieve. Portuguese rejected the offer, requiring that 10 million euros floating payments be easily reached, while Arsenal rejected this requirement." The differences in the additional bonus terms seem to be relatively large now, and Arsenal will not accept Portuguese to reduce the difficulty of reaching the terms. The differences between the two sides are still unable to be resolved. This transaction still has the possibility of breaking, and both parties are currently very tired of the deal.

From the exposure that Yorke will leave the team, to the Arsenal quotation and then to the current stalemate between the two sides, the transfer between Arsenal and Yorke has lasted for a long time in the past, and it has not been possible to reach an agreement so far. Not only the three parties are tired, but even the fans are feeling aesthetic fatigue. As a "famous black store" in Europe, Portugal Sports has indeed brought many young players to major giants, but whether their verbal agreements and temporary price increases will affect the signing of young players in the future is also worthy of attention.

Although there is still a long time before the end of the transfer period, if the transaction cannot be completed for a long time, Arsenal does not rule out the possibility of changing the target. In addition to Yorke, Arsenal also has other alternative players in the transfer market, and it is impossible to focus on Yorke throughout the summer window. Otherwise, once the summer window is approaching, there will be few options left for Arsenal. Once Arsenal chooses to stop negotiations, Portuguese may be in a dilemma, that is, Napoli's dilemma last year, and they can only rent the players or sell them at a low price, which is even more unworthy of the loss.
