Portuguese sports forward Tzekelish's transfer is in an unprecedented embarrassing situation. This striker who scored 54 goals and 12 assists in a single season is facing a key career choice.

Transfer negotiations fall into Rashomon‌

Portuguese Sports Chairman Valandas publicly denied the agent's claim of "60 million euros + 10 million bonus" transfer agreement, emphasizing that such commitments have never been made. He made it clear: "Threats, blackmail and insults don't work for me, and Zhekelais won't leave for this price." What is even more surprising is that despite rumors flying around, Portuguese has not received any official offer so far.

The competition for the undercurrents of giants‌

Arsenal and Manchester United are regarded as the most likely next players. The Gunners once regarded it as the number one target for forward strengthening, while Manchester United was revealed to have offered a 70 million euro offer. Liverpool, Juventus and other giants are also paying close attention to the developments.

The players are in a delicate situation‌

Zhekelais himself is eager to join the Champions League level team, but Valandas hinted that the transfer fee will far exceed the agent's expectations. The 27-year-old scorer's performance in the Champions League has raised questions about his Premier League adaptability and may affect the giants' willingness to bid.

The current transfer tug-of-war has been going on for several months. As the summer window opens, the game between all parties will enter a white-hot stage.
