Recommended Network reported on June 26 that a transfer drama about Zhekelais is being staged fiercely. According to Portuguese media Records on June 25, Dzekeles has told Portugal Sports that he has no intention of returning to the team when the team resumes training on July 6. But Portuguese Sports is calm about this and firmly believes that the players will return to the team on time. They believe this is a means by Zhekelais forcing the club to lower the asking price, and the team chairman has made it clear that it will not cut the price.

Previously, Portuguese sports president Valandas was accused of failing to abide by the gentleman agreement to release Zhekelais, which made the players feel angry and felt that they were not respected. Valandas later denied the existence of an agreement of 60 million + 10 million euros, and only promised that the asking price would not reach 100 million.

On June 25, Portuguese media cmjornal revealed that Liverpool intervened in the transfer of Zhekelais. As Nunes is close to joining Naples, Liverpool regards Dzekelish as a key candidate to strengthen the front line. Liverpool has been following him for a while and has only recently contacted Portuguese to learn about the transfer fee. Portuguese insists on asking price of 80 million euros, which is a lot of pressure on Liverpool, which has just signed Wilz for 135 million euros. However, if Nunez transfers and Barcelona's interest in Luis Dias may raise funds for Liverpool to sign Zhekelais.

At present, Arsenal is the only club to offer a quotation of 55 million euros + 10 million surcharge. According to Portuguese media "Globe", Arsenal is preparing for a second offer, which is expected to be closer to Portuguese's 80 million euro asking price. Previously, Arsenal slowed his pursuit of Sesco because of his excessive salary requirements and Leipzig's insistence on asking for 80 million euros, and turned his attention to Tzekelish again. Zhekelais was also dissatisfied with the high asking price of Portuguese and even considered not to participate in pre-season training.

Judging from the current situation, Liverpool's intervention is more like a means of Portuguese raising prices. According to previous news, if Zhekelais comes to the Premier League, Arsenal is the first choice, followed by Liverpool, Manchester City and other teams that can participate in the Champions League. The direction of this transfer drama is full of suspense. As the "hard stubborn" in the transfer market, Portuguese will inevitably make this transfer tug-of-war last for a long time. Let's wait and see where Zhekelais will go this summer.
