According to a new report from Turkish media outlet TV100, Olivier Coman, the star midfielder of Turkish top-flight side Kayseri Sporting, who hails from Cameroon and is still playing for the national team, has received a lucrative offer from the Chinese Super League. Coman's contract with Kayseri Sporting has ended, and given his price tag, he is likely to join a top team if he ends up in the Chinese Super League.
According to reports, Koeman recently made a sudden decision to terminate his contract with Kayseri Sporting. This was due to the fact that the club owed him his salary for a long period of time and did not have enough capacity to continue paying it. In order to resolve the issue, Koeman chose to utilize FIFA regulations to terminate his contract. He is currently a free agent and has received offers from several teams, with one of the Chinese Super League teams also making him an offer.
Coman is 27 years old and plays at the back. In the past two years, Coman has shown excellent performance in Kayseri Stadium and managed to consolidate his position as a starter in the team. This season he has helped the team to reach the top four positions in the league. Coman has also earned a place in the Cameroon national team, where he played three matches in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers as a starter. According to the transfer market website, Coman is valued at around 2.4 million euros, which is equivalent to about 19 million yuan. In today's Chinese Super League, that's a hefty fee to bring in a foreigner.
Considering that Koeman has previously suffered from salary arrears in Turkey, he regards the financial situation of his new joining team as his primary consideration. From this point of view, there are only a few clubs in the Chinese Super League that are in a good financial situation that could attract Koeman's interest. Therefore, it is very likely that Koeman will choose one of the few clubs in the Chinese Super League that are still in a good financial position. As an example, take Shanghai Harbour as an example, there were rumors that Shanghai Harbour was planning to bring in a foreigner to strengthen their midfield position. Because Xu Xin's performance is not good and Cai Huikang's age is a bit old, if we can bring in a foreigner of Koeman's level, it will be able to enhance the whole lineup for Shanghai Harbor.
