Chamakh in fresh blast at Bordeaux
The Morocco international has been left fuming with Bordeaux now having snubbed bids from both the Black Cats and the Gunners.
Sunderland's offer was understood to have matched - or been very close to - Bordeaux valuation of the player, but their coach Laurent Blanc stated he was too good to join the club.
Now Arsenal have come in for the 25-year-old - but their bid has also failed.
Arsenal are understood to have offered just £5million, which Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud branded 'ridiculous'.
But now events have taken a fresh turn as Chamakh missed Bordeaux's clash with Villarreal on Sunday.
Coach Laurent Blanc confirmed he was informed by the player he could not play, saying: "I received a phone call on Saturday evening, he told me he was sick and I am forced to believe it."
But Chamakh has reportedly travelled to England to push through a move.
And he shows now sign of relenting over his stance as he launched a fresh attack on Bordeaux.
"I am angry, I am disgusted and I do not understand why they have done that," he told L'Equipe when asked about Arsenal's offer being rejected.
"One thing is certain, I will not be signing a new contract - if they will not let me go now, I will leave for free.
"If a solution cannot be found quickly, everyone will lose. Frankly I really do not want to start the season with Bordeaux."
Chamakh is infuriated that neither Sunderland or Arsenal can agree terms with Bordeaux.
"Already I am told that Sunderland is not the club for me," he continued.
"But since when does a club chose the future of a player? Then my bosses tell me they will let me go to one of the 'Big Four' like Arsenal.
"And then when an offer comes in, it is refused because they want a bigger fee as I have one-year left on my contract.
"Everything is being done to prevent my move, I do not understand given how much service I have given to Bordeaux."
