As the European football summer transfer window enters a critical stage, Arsenal chases Portuguese sports forward Victor Djekelais's trade has suddenly changed. The transfer agreement that was originally close to reached has caused trouble again due to Manchester United's sudden intervention.

It is reported that Arsenal has basically reached an agreement with Zhekelais on personal terms, with the transfer fee framework of 63.5 million euros fixed + 10 million euros floating. However, due to delays in the details negotiations, Manchester United took the opportunity to join the competition and submitted a quotation plan that was exactly matched with Arsenal. Manchester United's sudden move is believed to be related to the team's forward Rashford is about to join Barcelona on loan - a deal that will help Manchester United free up about £17 million in salary space.

Although Manchester United's current coach Amorin has worked with Dzekelish at Portugal Sports and has personally trained him to become a hot frontline killer in European football, the reality of the club's missed European war next season may become a flaw. Arsenal not only can provide a Champions League platform, but also was the runner-up in the Premier League last season. The competitive advantage may become a key bargaining chip.

It is worth noting that the Portuguese media previously revealed that Tzekelish's father was emotionally excited due to the transfer deadlock, but the player himself always prefers to join Arsenal. However, with Manchester United's official offer, Portuguese Sports' attitude will become the decisive factor.

At present, Arsenal has missed the original internal node of closing the transaction in mid-July, and coach Arteta can only start the pre-season Asian tour with Havertz's single center configuration. The final outcome of this transfer tug-of-war may affect the Premier League championship situation in the new season.
