Portuguese believes that floating clauses are difficult to achieve, and Arsenal s introduction of Tse Keraish may fail

Arsenal's pursuit of Portuguese sports forward Victor Dzekelish suffered a major setback. Although the Gunners have submitted a formal offer to Portugal Sports with a total price of up to €63.5 million in fixed transfer fees plus €10 million in floating bonuses, there are huge differences between the two sides on the setting of additional terms, which has led to the transaction on the verge of breaking down. Currently, of the 10 million euro floating bonus, only 3 million euros are recognized by Portuguese Sports as an "easy to achieve" clause, which makes the agreement originally expected to reach once again full of variables. Although the space for negotiation remains, the long tug-of-war over the past few weeks is likely to eventually lead to a complete collapse of negotiations.

Zhekelais' transfer plot is full of twists and turns. After a brief progress, negotiations were deadlocked again. As of now, the Swedish striker's deal to join Arsenal has not made a substantial breakthrough. The two sides failed to reach an agreement yesterday, and the key point is the specific trigger conditions for the additional bonus. As A BOLA previously disclosed and has been confirmed in Arsenal's official offer, the setting of this floating bonus is the focus of dispute between the two sides.

It is worth noting that this offer is not tentative, but a transfer proposal formally proposed by Arsenal. The amount is basically consistent with the previous rumors: 63.5 million euros of basic transfer fee, plus 10 million euros of floating bonus. In addition, a positive signal is that player agent Hassan Chekinya has voluntarily given up collecting a 10% commission on transfer fees (about 7 million euros). This move opened a new window for negotiations and also allowed the Portuguese sports top scorer to see hope of leaving the team - he is still in Stockholm, Sweden, under club discipline.

On Monday morning, Portugal Sports held another high-level meeting on the transfer of Dzekelash. It is understood that the player's agent has arrived in London to discuss details, and further news is expected to be announced today.

However, as A BOLA pointed out earlier, many key details have not been finalized, and the most sensitive issue is the triggering conditions for the 10 million euro floating bonus. Portugal Sports made it clear from the outset that these additional terms must all be set to "easy to achieve" goals. However, according to the quote received yesterday, Portuguese Sports believes that of the 10 million euros, the truly easy-to-reach part only accounts for 3 million euros.

Based on this, Portuguese Sports chose to reject. Chairman Frederico Valandas insisted on receiving a full floating bonus, and Arsenal did not make concessions, causing the deal to fall into a deadlock again and may even fail completely. The negotiations seem to have returned to the starting point, and it is difficult to make substantial progress unless one party is willing to make a compromise.

Although the two sides have reached an agreement on the basic transfer fee of €63.5 million, there is still a lot of controversy over details such as payment term and bonus triggering mechanism, which have not been discussed in depth in the past few days. The complications of the agent's concessions and negotiations

The proactive concessions of the player's agent make this transfer possible. Hassan Chekina gave up the 7 million euro commission that should have belonged to him, which also means that Portuguese sports will not have to pay anything for it. Arsenal is willing to pay a basic transfer fee of 63.5 million euros + an additional bonus of 10 million euros, but Chejinya does not take a commission. Although Arsenal did not raise the offer, the Portuguese sports president is close to completing the main goal of the deal.

various obstacles indicate that the transfer negotiations may continue for several days. According to A BOLA, Portugal Sports is still willing to continue the conversation and will not completely close the communication channels with Arsenal. However, the negotiation fatigue caused by repeated pulls over the past few weeks may lead to a complete breakdown of relations between the two sides and no room for maneuver. Nevertheless, according to the information in this journal, it has not yet reached that point. After all, Arsenal still regards Zhekelais as the primary target of forward signings this summer, and the player himself has no intention of considering other teams' options.

On the other hand, Portugal Sports has always maintained a tough stance throughout the process, and the only concession was to agree to no longer insist on activating the 100 million euro termination clause in the player contract. As Chairman Valandas has publicly stated, he is willing to accept prices below the termination fee, but has also set a bottom line - after all, Tzekelish has been an irreplaceable core player for the team in the past two seasons.
