Request 6 million more but ruined reputation: Yorke transfers to Arsenal

9:31pm, 28 July 2025【Football】

In this summer transfer window, the tug between Portugal Sports and Arsenal is a big show. Although the actual transfer comparison is exactly the same as people imagined before, Yorke is indeed Arsenal's new aid. He will become an important helper for Arteta in the new season and meet the task of improving his ending ability. However, there are indeed a lot of ups and downs in the entire transfer process. Portuguese sports pressed step by step, forcing Arsenal to increase the price, and at the same time, it also lost more or less the "dignity of the giants". They compromised to win the scorer, and the relationship between the two sides has really dropped to a freezing point.

I guess any wealthy family will be very cautious in doing business with Portugal Sports. Their attitude is indeed too annoying.

Of course, under such persistence, Portugal Sports also got what it wanted. It is reported that before that, Yorke and Portugal Sports had a gentleman agreement, which is to allow him to transfer independently this season (which they agreed before this season) with a floating clause of 60 million euros plus 10 million euros. However, after playing this season, Yorke Cras performed well, causing Portugal to tear up and deny the previous agreement, and forced Arsenal to increase the transfer fee. According to the overall calculation, including transfer fees and floating terms, Portugal Sports received a total of 6 million euros (6.02513 euros), which is relatively true. But as mentioned at the beginning, although Portugal sports make a lot of money, reputation has become a very annoying echelon. If they do business like this, it will be difficult for them to continue trading with wealthy families. No one wants to work with such a stingy partner.

This is very negative for their actual development. You should know that for clubs like Portugal Sports, the countermeasure of the business model is to train stars to sell at high prices. This is their main task, which is much "valued" than getting good results. Therefore, Portuguese sports have also ruined the future this time.
