– Buying Martinez is not only consistent with our objectives of acquiring players with the best “20″ of the world, but it is also another step in our five-year plan “- said in a statement the club.
The Colombian, who signed a four-year contract, already passed the tests and February 9 is to join the team in Dubai, where this will prepare for the new season. 29-year-old footballer was initiated by Atletico from FC Porto last summer for 35 million euros.
At the time, he appeared in 15 games and scored only two goals. Evergrande is the Brazilian head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, and the composition of the team include Brazilian Paulinho.
A week earlier, another Chinese club – Jiangsu Suning – acquired Brazilian Ramires from Chelsea for 33 million euros. But this is not exotic transfers.
Chinese clubs may not have dominated the transfer window, but have incredible money that tempt players still having before him a couple of seasons playing at a high level. Directions of the kind the United States, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Asian countries were seen as a desire to sign the last, very stately contract in his career for athletes aiming to end their game.
Among the 11 highest transfers this window, authors until 5 were Chinese clubs.
Transfers in kind of Martinez, Ramires and Gervingo, whose earnings have tripled terms of what he could expect in Roma, is a kind of novelty. Of course you can not compare the level of football, which in Europe is much higher, but China put on football.
Do you watch the birth of a new power? With such views we will have to wait a long time, but the financial manifestation of force is doing at the moment quite an impression.
