Recently, Arsenal is in a long negotiation with Portuguese Sports on Yorke's transfer. The total transfer fee given by both sides is 80 million, but there are still differences on the fixed transfer fee. Today, Portuguese media said that Arsenal may give up the deal.
80 million transfer fee has brought some bad memories to the Gunners. In the summer of 2019, Arsenal introduced Nicholas Pepe from Lille at this price. Before the official announcement, the Gunners also experienced competition and negotiations, and eventually defeated Liverpool, Naples and other teams. N-Pepe's transfer fee was also raised from the starting price of 50 million euros to 80 million euros.
While playing for Arsenal, Pepe played in 112 games, scored 27 goals and sent 21 assists. In 2023, Arsenal terminated his contract with Pepe one year ahead of schedule.
So far, Pepe's 80 million euro transfer fee ranks second in Arsenal's most expensive signing list in team history, and the current team history is Rice's 116 million euros in 2023.
