July 26th news, Portuguese sports forward Jekelais was sentenced to a heavy penalty for deducting his salary in July for putting pressure on the club for a strike in the process of seeking to transfer to Arsenal.

Previously, Zhekelais publicly expressed his strong willingness to leave the team many times and adopted the method of refusing to return to the team to participate in pre-season training. The purpose is to force Portuguese Sports to implement a verbal transfer agreement that has been claimed to exist. However, club chairman Valandas publicly denied the existence of the agreement.

After negotiations, Arsenal and Portuguese Sports finally reached an agreement on the transfer of Zhekelais. The basic transfer fee is 63.5 million euros, and there is also a floating bonus clause of up to 10 million euros. But before the transfer was finalized, Zheke Laish paid the price for his strike.

The Portuguese media "Record" disclosed that Dzekeles had been absent for 13 days during this strike. What made Valandas even more strongly dissatisfied was that Dzekelish posted photos of his vacation in Majorca on social media during his training. The move directly led to the club's decision to impose severe penalties on him for deducting his entire monthly salary. In order to calm the situation as soon as possible, Zhekelais accepted the penalty, with a fine of 350,000 euros.

Thankfully, Tzekelish was allowed to receive all his performance bonuses from last season, which would greatly alleviate his financial pressure. In addition to the Portuguese League championship prize, he also received an additional bonus of 500,000 euros for contributing more than 50 goals and assists in a single season.

At present, the transaction of Zhekelais to Arsenal has been confirmed. Next season, he will wear Arsenal's symbolic No. 14 jersey, which was once owned by legendary shooter Henry. Jekelayish's new contract salary at Arsenal is also expected to help him quickly make up for the losses caused by the fine.

Arsenal is currently conducting pre-season training in Singapore, and the club hopes that Zhekelais can join the joint training as soon as possible. However, due to the lack of systematic training in the past month, his debut at the new owner may be postponed.
