💣ESPN: Arsenal has decided to sign Yorke, with a total price of 70 million quotation becoming the basis for negotiations
According to ESPN, Arsenal has decided to sign Portuguese striker Yorke, and the offer of a total price of 70 million euros will become the basis of the negotiations.
After weeks of internal discussions about the forward signing target, Arsenal management and Arteta have now clearly locked in Yorke. In fact, the transfer has made significant progress in the past few weeks.
Arsenal sporting director Berta has traveled to Lisbon several times, and negotiations with player agents and Portugal Sports are going well. The plan for the 60 million euros basic transfer fee + 10 million euros floating clause proposed by the Gunners has become the basis of negotiations, but Portuguese sports chairman Valandas stated that he would demand more than 75 million euros.
Nevertheless, the Gunners are optimistic about reaching a deal as soon as possible.
Arteta and his players will set off for training in La Manga, Spain in the next few days, and then fly to Southeast Asia on July 19 as planned to start the pre-season tour.
