According to the Daily Telegraph, citing Portuguese media, Yorke's transfer fee was 69 million pounds.
Arsenal is increasingly interested in Yorke and is currently finalizing a transfer agreement with Portugal. Yorke is top of Arsenal's forward signing list, and Berta has been exploring the signing of the Swedish international.
Arsenal is also actively considering other options, and Cesco is one of them. As of Sunday afternoon, it is uncertain whether Arsenal will give up interest in Cesco and choose Yorkez instead. However, progress in negotiations with Portuguese strongly suggests that Arsenal is ready to sign Yorke before the preseason starts.
Reports from Portugal and Sweden both said that the transfer fee for Yorke to join Arsenal will be as high as about £69 million. According to CNN, the deal's initial amount was 56 million pounds, plus 13 million pounds of performance-related surcharges.
Arsenal has been chasing the striker since last summer, and the club tried to sign Sesco and then tried to sign Watkins in the winter window, but all ended in failure.
Yorcres has extensive English football experience and has played for Brighton, Swansea and Coventry. Since joining Portuguese Sports in 2023, he has scored 97 goals in 102 games.
