'The Colossus' Sporting eventually laughed.
The end of the Victor Jockeres saga is visible. Arsenal raised the white flag. On the 16th (Korea time), Spain's As decided that Arsenal would accept Sporting's requirements. 'Jockeres will travel to London this Friday for a medical test'
The Yockeres saga has fluctuated recently. Originally, Fabrizio Romano, the most prestigious European transfer market, floated 'HERE WE GO SOON', saying that Arsenal and Sporting had an agreement. It was actually a gigantism. Romano said the agreement was reached for a basic transfer fee of 70 million euros and a bonus of 10 million euros.
Arsenal and Sporting have been in a tight tug-of-war over basic transfer fees. Arsenal initially offered €60 million. It offered an upward offer of 5 million euros here. There was a sacrifice of Jockeres. After recently signing a five-year contract with Arsenal, Jockeres gave up 2 million euros of his annual salary to meet the transfer fee Sporting wanted. Arsenal offered a bonus of 15 million euros for 65 million euros.
However, Sporting stuck to the basic transfer fee of 70 million euros. In the end, the negotiations stalled. Arsenal also came down from the negotiating table for now. Hecord said the Arsenal negotiating team, which visited Lisbon last weekend, returned to London.
In the meantime, Yockeres brought up the super-strong move of not attending training. Multiple Portuguese media outlets reported that `Jokes was instructed to arrive at Sporting's training ground 'Cristiano Ronaldo Academy', but in the end did not follow suit.' The Sporting squad departed for Lagos, where a pre-season training camp will be held, except for Jockeres.
Sporting Chairman Frederiku Varandas threatened to impose 'heavy disciplinary action' "If they think they can recruit without paying the fair market price of Jockeres, they are completely deluded," Varandas said. "No one can be above the interests of the club. No matter who he is."
Eventually, Yockeres' agent intervened. I gave up a 10% brokerage fee to complete the contract. Arsenal offered the €70m Sporting wanted. That's how the negotiations seemed to end.
This time, there was another conflict over the contents of the bonus. On the 15th, Hecord 'Sporting wants the option clause in the €10 million bonus to be an easily achievable condition. Arsenal are reluctant to do so. According to Meisputball, Arsenal set €3 million for easy targets and €7 million for difficult targets. However, as Sporting demanded 10 million euros for an easy target, the negotiations fell into difficulty again.
However, Arsenal eventually accepted Sporting's terms. For Arsenal, whose striker is in a hurry, there was no way to hold out any longer. Arsenal, who wanted to have Joquez on board from the pre-season, finally shouted hurrah.
Jockeres was one of the hottest strikers this summer. Joquez, who has excellent physical and goal-scoring skills, has drawn attention by moving to Brighton since his professional debut with Bromapoicarna in Sweden in 2015. After a long loan spell, he moved to Coventry City in the English Championship (second division) and played as a main player.
Joquez exploded his potential by moving to Sporting in the 2023-2024 season. In his first season in Sporting, he played in 50 official games, scoring 43 goals and 14 assists and 57 offensive points. This was higher than Elling Holan (44), Kylian Mbappe (54), and Harry Kane (56) during the same period. This season has been even greater. Exploded 54 goals-12 assists in 52 games. It was a record of more than one goal per game. In Sporting alone, Jockeres scored a whopping 97 goals and 26 assists in two seasons. It was simply a monster stat.
Joquez, who was courted by Manchester United and Chelsea, succeeded in going to Arsenal, which he wanted so much. Joquez was so serious that he chose to go on strike and cut his salary as well as break up with his girlfriend to go to Arsenal. Arsenal filled the final puzzle for the championship with the recruitment of a top scorer in front of them. Attention is focusing on the outcome of the meeting between the two and the result because the process was difficult.
