The latest report by the Portuguese media "The Globe" said Yorke's transfer to Arsenal is still in a deadlock, and the bonus issue still hinders the conclusion of the deal.
Arsenal is preparing to set off on Saturday to start the Asian tour, with parties hoping to close the deal by this weekend, but the two clubs have not yet eliminated the differences in floating bonuses. The main reason is that of Arsenal's quotation of 63.5 million euros + 10 million euros, only 3 million euros were easy to achieve at first, and this quotation was immediately rejected.
Then Arsenal then made a plea to increase the amount of easily reached EUR 7 million, but the Portuguese management led by Portuguese Chairman Valandas insisted on asking for the full bonus.
In the past day, no progress has been made in negotiations and negotiations may restart at any time. Arsenal's goal is to bring 27-year-old Yorkress to the Asian tour.
In addition, the "Globe" also added that there is little discussion on the "youth training share" in this transfer. Usually, the money paid to the player's parent team will be paid by the party who collects the transfer fee, but this time, Portuguese hopes to bear the money in a "55-5 share" way. As for the payment period, Arsenal hopes to extend the payment for four months, while Portugal hopes to pay as soon as possible, allowing for two installments.
