Romano updated his personal youtube channel today and talked about the progress of Yorke's transfer.
Romano said that last night, Arsenal had a new round of contacts on Yorke transfer, trying to speed up and finalize the transfer fee details, but Portuguese has not yet accepted Arsenal's latest proposal. Portuguese insists on a fixed transfer fee of 70 million euros, while Arsenal's offer is 65 million fixed + additional terms.
Yorkecres only wants to go to Arsenal. I can guarantee that Yorkecres has informed the Portuguese Sports Chairman in the past few hours that he wants to go to Arsenal. The players will not participate in training and will no longer play for Portuguese Sports. Yorkecres' attitude is very tough.
In order to realize his dream of joining Arsenal, Yorke also gave up 2 million euros in his original salary contract to facilitate negotiations between Arsenal and Portuguese Sports. Basically, he paid out of his own pocket to add the money to Arsenal's offer.
negotiations will now continue. I still stick to my opinion, Arsenal is negotiating with Portugal Sports, and "Here we go" may come at any time. You can understand that there is still a small gap between the two sides, but Portuguese sports, especially the chairman, still stick to their position. So we will continue to pay attention to the progress of the transaction.
