According to Portuguese media maisfutebol, as Yorke's transfer has not progressed for several days, pessimism has begun to spread among the people involved in the negotiations, and the player's father even cried in tears in the past two days.

Since Arsenal's offer was rejected by Portuguese this week, the two clubs have been unable to reach a new transfer agreement. It is reported that due to lack of confidence in the transfer, Yorke's father has been crying since Friday to Saturday, and he was in a very low mood and no longer willing to believe that the transfer can be achieved.

However, the player's father's tears would not touch Portuguese chairman Valandas, who insisted not to compromise on transfer fees and required that all floating clauses worth 10 million euros could be easily reached, while Arsenal was only willing to set a number of 5 million euros easily reached.

In addition, the two companies verbally agreed on a basic transfer fee of 63.5 million euros, and the player's agent even gave up his 10% share, which is a commission of about 7 million euros.
