Arsenal s quotation of 80 million euros was rejected, and Portuguese refused to give in, and Zhekelais transfer was basically ruined!

According to the Portuguese media "Record", Arsenal's fixed transfer fee of 65 million euros plus 15 million euros surcharge, a total of 80 million euros for the bid for Zhekelais was rejected by Portuguese Sports. Portugal Sports insists on a fixed transfer fee of RMB 70 million and an additional clause of RMB 10 million, and refuses to give in at all. After Arsenal showed great sincerity and was still rejected, the club's representative sent to Lisbon had returned to London. Unless there was a huge reversal afterwards, the transaction of Zhekelais' transfer to Arsenal was basically ruined.

Zhekelais' transfer transaction is the largest soap opera in the summer window. With his outstanding performance in the past two seasons, the 27-year-old Swedish striker who once played for Brighton has become a hot spot in the transfer market. Teams including Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool have paid great attention to him. However, due to his unsuccessful experience in Brighton, many clubs are still skeptical about whether Zhekelais can adapt to the Premier League. However, compared with other clubs, Arsenal's demand for big centers has reached a thirst point, and has become the only club that truly offers to buy Zhekelais.

Zhekelais is currently worth 75 million euros. For a player outside the five major leagues, such a value is already very high. As a famous black store, Portugal Sports has never been sold without products. As long as the money is in place, Ronaldo can sell it. That's right, Ronaldo was sold to Manchester United by Portugal Sports! Zhekelais is no exception, but Portuguese sports asked him very high, reaching 80 million euros! However, after being so popular for more than half a year, there were many clubs watching the fun, but until the end of June, there were no clubs that actually quoted.

The Portuguese Sports Club is not panicking yet, but the players themselves can no longer sit still. The 27-year-old Dzekelash understands that if he cannot transfer to the giants of the five major leagues this summer, then by the summer of 2026, it will be even more difficult for him to realize his dream of a giant at the age of 28. Therefore, at the end of June, Zhekelais's agent revealed that the club had a gentleman agreement with the players. As long as other clubs offer a fixed transfer fee of 60 million euros and a clause with the attached terms, the club will let Zhekelais leave the team. The implication is very clear: Zhekelais' transfer fee is up to 70 million euros, and the team you want to make a quote! Portuguese club chairman Valandas denied this, claiming that there is no such gentleman agreement and that if you want to take Zhekelais away, you have to pay 80 million euros.

Faced with the club chairman's refusal to admit that he had verbally agreed to his gentleman agreement. In order to realize his dream of joining a wealthy family, Zhekelais chose to stop training to protest, and deleted all content about Portuguese sports clubs on his personal social media, expressing his strong desire to leave the team.

It was in this situation that Arsenal club finally took action. After the quotation of 60 million euros fixed transfer fee plus 10 million euros attached terms was rejected, they once again put forward their final offer, 65 million euros fixed transfer fee plus 15 million euros attached terms, total price of 80 million euros! Such a quote has met the requirements of Portugal Sports in total. However, to everyone's surprise, Portugal Sports once again rejected the offer and reiterated that a fixed transfer fee of 70 million euros cannot be reduced by 1 point, and an additional clause of 10 million euros is required.

In order to facilitate the completion of the transaction, Zhekelais said that he would give up his remaining salary of about 2 million euros, which means that Arsenal's offer is actually 67 million euros fixed transfer fee plus 15 million euros with terms, with a total price of up to 82 million euros! However, such a request was ruthlessly rejected by Portuguese Sports. They insisted that the fixed transfer fee of 70 million euros would not be relaxed, and they should not lose a penny, and they asked to pay according to their method. After the negotiations reached a deadlock, Arsenal representatives reported to senior officials and decided to suspend the transfer negotiations of Zhekelais and leave Lisbon and return to London. Arsenal also decided to reconsider other center candidates, including Real Madrid's Rodrigo and Leipzig's Seschko. Portugal Sports said it would not lower its requirements for Tzekeles. If the club's offer meets their requirements, they would rather loan Tzekeles to other league clubs in the new season.

Now, Tzekelish has become the saddest person. If both clubs refuse to compromise, Arsenal cannot go and Lisbon cannot stay, and only one way left is to be rented out. By next year, he will be 28 years old. Can he still realize his dream of a big five league? The only thing that can be thankful is that it is still early July, and there are almost 50 days left before the summer window is closed, and his future is still not determined.
