The summer transfer window of the Chinese Super League (CSL) will officially open in a month's time, which will be a good opportunity for teams to replenish their strength. According to Belgian media reports, Bakary, a renowned striker and former talented youngster who has been selected for the Belgian national team, is expected to accept an offer from the Chinese Super League this summer. Considering Bakary's resume and fame, he is expected to be the biggest foreign aid in the Chinese Super League transfer market this summer.
Bakary is currently playing for Dutch Eredivisie side Valwijk and his contract expires in a year. According to Belgium's Football 24 website, Bakary is planning to switch sides this summer as he has lost his starting position at Valwijk and is considering an offer from the Chinese Super League. This is not the first time Bakary has contacted Chinese teams. A year ago, there were reports that he might move to the Chinese Super League to play soccer, but ultimately failed. I don't know if he can "renew his relationship" this time.
Sakarya Bakary is 27 years old. He was selected for the Belgian national team at the age of 17. At the age of 16, Bakary also scored a hat-trick in the Dutch Eredivisie, becoming the youngest player in the history of the Dutch Eredivisie. While playing for Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven, Bakary was known as one of Belgian soccer's talented youngsters, and his development was no less impressive than that of famous strikers such as Romelu Lukaku, Benteke and Origi. Unfortunately, after failing in La Liga, Bakary never recovered and eventually returned to play for Anderlecht in Belgium. However, last year he was swept away to join Valwijk.
In his one season at Valwijk, although Bakary made 18 appearances, he was largely a substitute and saw very limited playing time. However, he still took his chances to score three goals, especially against Alkmaar, where he struck twice in a 10-minute period, giving a vague glimpse of his past style.
As a striker with a height of only 1.68 meters, Bakary has strong offensive ability and good physical fitness, and can play as a winger. If he can land in the Chinese Super League, he is expected to become a "small steel gun". Previously, it was reported that Bakary's annual salary demand is more than 1 million euros, equivalent to more than 8 million yuan. In today's Chinese Super League, it is clear that only a few luxury clubs can give foreign aid such an annual salary.
