Portuguese refused to lower the price and let the people go! Yorke is angry and breaks up with the team

Football

According to Portugal's "Records", Portuguese sports chairman Valandas violated the "gentleman agreement" with Yorke and increased the transfer asking price from the original fixed + 10 million euros + floating clause to 80 million euros, causing the players to "fury" with the management. This contradiction stems from the agreement between the two sides in 2024: considering that Yorke was 26 years old at the time, the club promised not to obstruct the transfer with a 100 million euro termination fee this summer, and it can be released as long as it receives a reasonable offer. In anger, Yorke deleted all social media content related to Portuguese sports, and even removed the logo of Swedish national team and sponsor Nike, and the relationship between the two sides was on the verge of breaking down.

The Premier League two heroes compete, and the transfer is in a tug-of-war

Currently, Manchester United and Arsenal are York's most popular suitors:

Manchester United's advantage: coach Amorin once cooperated with Yorke in Portugal Sports, and the two have a close relationship. However, Manchester United lacks the qualification of the Champions League and financial pressure (must sell players to raise funds first) constitutes a barrier.

Arsenal Turn: Although the Gunners have listed him as the number one target, due to Portugal's price increase and the high salary requirements of the player team (total cost exceeds 120 million euros), the focus has been shifted to Salzburg striker Sishko.

Other options: Chelsea and Atletico Madrid remained concerned, but did not make official offers; Saudi team Riyadh New Moon once offered a offer of £55 million and an annual salary of £30 million, but was rejected by the players.

The data is impressive but there are hidden worries. The giants have a lot of concerns. Yorke became a hot striker in Europe last season with a terrifying efficiency of 54 goals, but the controversy over his transfer is significant:

Age risk: The age of 27 makes the giants have doubts about the long-term investment returns. If they cannot leave this summer, it will be more difficult to sell at a high price at the age of 28 next year.

Premier League adaptability: Experts such as Ferdinand questioned his physical confrontation ability, believing that Portugal's super strength is much lower than that of the Premier League, and his experience of playing for Brighton's zero appearance in the Premier League deepened concerns.

Off-court controversy: Smoking hookah in public triggered discussions about his professional qualities. Although the player responded that "does not care about outside opinions", his image was damaged. The deadlock is difficult to break, and the prospects for the three-party game are uncertain

Club position: Portuguese Sports is trying to maximize returns by using the players' performance in the double championship season (Portugal Super League + Portuguese Cup), but the price raising behavior has scared away potential buyers. As of June 10, the team has not received any official offer.

Player demands: Yorkez insists on leaving the team. If he cannot transfer, he may refuse to renew his contract or play negatively, resulting in the club's "loss of both people and money".

Market reality: Manchester United needs to sell people to raise funds first, Arsenal will turn to the goal of higher cost-effectiveness, and other giants are on the wait-and-see attitude - if Yorkean compromises salary requirements or Portuguese prices, it can break the deadlock.

The core of this transfer storm has shifted from competitive value to interest game. Yorke's social media accounts deleted have become a beacon for silent protests; and Valandas' raised asking price is another big bet for Portuguese super black store in the face of gold and dollar football. When loyal commitments are encountered in business calculations, the ending of losing all parties may be dormant in the dark - after all, there is no eternal gentleman agreement on the green field, only an eternal balance of interests.
