FOOTBALL TEAMS CHINESE ARE SHOPPING IN EUROPE. JIANGSU FROM THE SHANGHAI: Gervinho GUARIN AND NOW RAMIRES
Ramires is also close to China. After goodbyes Europe Gervinho and Guarin, the Brazilian midfielder for Chelsea, according to reveal the English media, it would be close to moving to Jiangsu Suning to cost around 25 million pounds, equivalent to 33 million euro. Ramires, who was paid by Chelsea 18 million pounds in 2010, he signed a new four-year contract in October: if you were to close the deal, the 28 year old would become the most expensive player in the history of Chinese football and would coached by former Chelsea midfielder, the Romanian Dan Petrescu. Ramires would be departing from the start of the season after playing only seven games, but the conditional is necessary, as the clubs involved in the deal: the Jiangsu is the same company that was interested in Luiz Adriano. The Chinese club had reached an agreement with AC Milan on the basis of 14 million euro, the agreement then jumped with the player who has returned to training at Milanello.
Convincing samples to go play on the other side of the world, in a league certainly growing but still far from the quality of the major European leagues is then in a sense not too complicated: just put on the table a reasonable package of millions of Euros of engagement.
Drogba earned 15 million euro a year to Shanghai Shenhua few years ago, Anelkane earned 10 million. Even the Italian Gilardino has had an experience in China, to the tune of 10 million euro for two and a half years of the contract. Of course, then, for various reasons, all three have decided not long after returning to Europe, but now football is improving over there and thanks to the European coaches who were hired.
Sven Goran Eriksson, for a whopping 19 million Euros a year, he landed at the Shanghai SIPG, Alberto Zaccheroni will go to coach the Beijing Guoan to 5 million euro per season. At Guangzhou Evergrande, there is the highly decorated Felipe Scolari, who inherited the team from Fabio Cannavaro, who in turn had replaced Marcello Lippi on the bench (which with 10 million euro the year had become the third highest-paid coach in the world after Guardiola at Barça and Mourinho to Real Madrid) and in three seasons he led the Guangzhou to win three Chinese, an Asian Champions League and a Cup of China.
