Yesterday, several Portuguese media reported that Manchester United hoped to sign Yorke and were willing to submit quotations of 70 million to 80 million. Portuguese media "Globe" said Yorke refused to go to Manchester United and he only wanted to join Arsenal.
reported that Yorke insisted on going to Arsenal and rejected Manchester United. Both he and his agent believed that the news related to Manchester United was that Portuguese was putting pressure on them.
Manchester United has prepared 70 million to 80 million euros to sign Yorke, and their negotiations with Portuguese are close to reaching an agreement because the plans provided by Manchester United meet Portuguese's expectations.
At present, Portugal's quotation is still firm and the floating terms have not been negotiated, but Arsenal has not made any response since last Monday. So Portugal turned to consider selling the player to Manchester United. The transfer soap opera will continue.
