Manchester United becomes the first choice? The 70 million striker is too high, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are about to withdraw

A striker who scored 54 goals in a single season should be the hottest hot commodity in the European transfer market. But the reality is a bit embarrassing. Portuguese sports forward Yocres is now in a situation of "no one cares about it". According to the latest news from Spanish authoritative journalist Eduardo Burgos, Atletico Madrid's plan to introduce Yorke is basically stagnant, and Arsenal has also shifted its focus to Slovenian star Sesko. Why did this Swedish striker, who was once regarded as a "Haland substitute", suddenly become "outdated"?
In fact, Yorke's performance this season is phenomenal. He scored 54 goals in 52 official games, and his efficiency was quite terrifying. Portugal Sports also lowered its liquidated damages early, down from the initial 90 million euros to 70 million euros, seemingly clearing the obstacles for this summer's transfer. However, what really discourages buyers is not the transfer fee that "clearly priced" but the "hidden cost" behind it. It is understood that Yorke and his team have extremely high requirements for signing fees, salary structure, etc. If the whole transaction is completed according to his vision, the total cost will exceed 120 million euros, which obviously makes it difficult for many clubs including Arsenal and Atletico Madrid to accept. Although Yorke's data is gorgeous, the age of 27 also makes the wealthy families have some doubts about the "return on investment". More importantly, the Gunners and the Legion of the Bedding Legion also have their own considerations for withdrawing from the purchase. In addition to the Yorke's team asking for signing fees and high wages, there are other reasons. At present, Arsenal is looking for a "fulcrum center" to strengthen the No. 9 position that can withstand pressure in a small range, compete for high-altitude balls and complete the end. They often face a situation where there is intensive defense and very little space in the penalty area. Yorke is accustomed to opening and closing big and closing styles, and need to adjust the space to complete the shooting, so it is difficult to integrate into the Gunners' style of play.
Moreover, Arteta's favorite is Xie Shiko, a younger, excellent confrontational and multi-faceted striker, with room for growth, a relatively small transfer premium, which is more in line with the direction of "project-based recruitment". Yorkress is more like the "plug and play" type, but no one dares to guarantee whether it can be plug and play. In addition, Yorke played for Brighton, but his performance in the Premier League was mediocre at the time. Although he is now in the Portuguese Super League, the outside world still has doubts about whether he can adapt to the high-intensity and fast pace of the Premier League. After all, the Portuguese Super League has a significant gap with the five major leagues in terms of intensity. Even if the data is amazing, it is difficult to completely convince the Premier League giants. This is a real hidden danger. The situation is similar for Atletico Madrid. Although the forward combination of the Bedding Legion is not stable, if you already have Alvarez and Sollot, buying a center over 27 for another 70 million is not the style of coach Simeone. Moreover, they have more urgent signings: strengthening the defense line, solving the midfield organizational problems, and even competing for Sevilla star C-Romero, so it is normal to withdraw from Yorke's big purchase.
Currently, among the potential buyers of Yorkress, there is still a vague attitude Manchester United. Amorin, the mentor of the Swedish striker, has always wanted to bring him to the Dream Theater, but the situation inside the team is chaotic and there is no European battle to play. This is the flaw of the Red Devils. The Swedish striker is somewhat dismissive of these two points. The original popular "fried chicken" has become an embarrassing situation now, which is somewhat sad.
