Uncertainty over Bakambu transfer
Print Edition
Beijing Guo鈥檃n is pleading ignorance over the fate of Cedric Bakambu even after the striker declared he was China-bound in a reported 40-million-euro (US$49million) deal.
Guo鈥檃n declined to confirm Bakambu鈥檚 signing and said it had heard he left Spain鈥檚 Villarreal for 鈥減ersonal reasons.鈥
It remains to be seen whether the drawn-out move for the French-born Congolese hitman, who has scored nine La Liga goals this season, will now go ahead. The Chinese Football Association has warned clubs against any 鈥渓oophole-exploiting behavior鈥 in trying to avoid its de facto 100 percent tax on incoming foreign transfers.
Villarreal last week said Bakambu had left after he terminated his contract, and the 26-year-old declared in a video that he was going to 鈥減lay in Beijing.鈥 It was reported in French and Spanish media that Bakambu was set to move to Beijing after the 40-million-euro buyout clause in his contract was triggered.
But Guo鈥檃n told AFP: 鈥淲e recently received a fax from your office enquiring about Bakambu鈥檚 buyout clause on his contract with Villarreal.
鈥淲e were not aware of this. We learned later through multiple channels that he left the club for personal reasons.鈥
Beijing Guoan finished ninth in the 16-team CSL last season.
