The Chinese Super League (CSL) has already had 13 rounds of competition, and with the opening of the CSL transfer window, many teams will gradually experience significant changes in their lineups. Previously, some domestic media reported that Alan might join Qingdao Hainiu, a relegation team. Currently, Alan has agreed to return to the Chinese Super League in principle and is willing to lower his salary. Now, Brazilian media outlet "globo" has confirmed that Alan will terminate his contract with Fluminense early and return to the Chinese Super League!
As we all know, Alan has been playing in the Chinese Super League for seven seasons. He has also played for teams such as Guangzhou, Tianjin Tianhai and Beijing Guoan and has a wide fan base. As a naturalized international player, Allan won the Golden Boot award in the Europa League and his individual ability is unquestionable. After returning to the Barclays Premier League from the Chinese Super League, he has scored three goals, although he has only played 13 games, mostly as a substitute!
According to the latest confirmation from the Pakistani media, the naturalized Allan of the national soccer team will no longer play the remaining Pakistan A matches with Fluminense. He has returned to his hometown of Barbosa, probably to prepare for his return to the Super League for an eighth season. And the media also pointed out that Allan still has a one-year contract with Fluminense, but Fluminense will still strike a deal with the Chinese Super League side this summer!
Alan's salary is not the main factor for this return to play soccer in China. His income will be drastically reduced compared to his previous soccer games in China. Allan can only follow the wage restriction order for local players in the Chinese Super League. 5 million yuan before tax is the highest salary, but only 2-3 million yuan. Alan has repeatedly said that he just wants to return to the national soccer team, and the Asian Cup and the World Preliminary Cup are his goals!
As a result, there is hope that Allan will be back to form a formidable trident with Ackerson and Wu Lei. Despite the fact that these three had the ability to surprise us in the last World Cup qualifying campaign, they were never able to perform at their best due to Li Tie and Li Xiaopeng's problems with the lineup arrangement. Needless to say, we expect these three top strikers to shine in the Copa America!
