Print Edition
PARIS Saint-Germain’s Argentine forward Ezequiel Lavezzi has signed with Chinese Super League side Hebei China Fortune, his new club announced yesterday, making the 30-year-old the latest European-based footballer to head to China.
Hebei described him as “the next Maradona” on a verified social media account. It did not disclose a transfer fee, but British reports said he would earn 23.5 million pounds (US$33.6 million) over two years.
“His arrival will make the team’s attack more incisive, we look forward to him showing off his brave spirit,” the Chinese club added.
Hebei China Fortune is owned by a Beijing-based developer of industrial parks, founded by billionaire Wang Wenxue.
Lavezzi joins Ivorian striker Gervinho at the club after he signed for 18 million euros (US$20 million) in January, along with Cameroon captain and former Marseille center-back Stephane Mbia.
Lavezzi joined PSG in 2012 for 30 million euros (US$34 million) from Napoli, but has been used mainly as a substitute this season, with just three league starts. He has scored 22 goals in 107 Ligue 1 games.
Another CSL side Beijing Guo’an also announced the signing of Turkish international striker Burak Yilmaz from Galatasaray for a reportedly fee of 8 million euros.
Yilmaz, 31, who used to play in Besiktas, Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor, moved to Galatasary in 2012. He scored 82 goals in 141 appearances for Galatasaray and helped the team win 2 league titles.
