In the midst of the summer transfer frenzy in the Chinese Super League (CSL), the movement of naturalized star Alan has touched the hearts of countless soccer fans. The former star of Guangzhou Evergrande is in transfer negotiations with Qingdao Hainiu, but has unexpectedly encountered a lot of hurdles. It is reported that the Fluminense club insisted on a high transfer fee, while Alan's salary requirements also deterred the Sea Bulls, which seems to cast a shadow over the transfer.
However, the complexity of the story does not stop there. According to Brazilian media Explosaotricolor, Qingdao Hainiu is interested in bringing in Allan, but Fluminense FC is not willing to let go easily. Allan still has one and a half years left on his contract with the club, which has caused Fluminense to raise expectations on the transfer fee. Although the exact amount was not disclosed, the transfer fee was estimated to be at least 300,000-500,000 euros according to Alan's market value.
At present, Qingdao Sea Cow only has contact with Alan's agent, and has not yet formally negotiated with Fluminense. The contract conditions offered by Hainiu are far from Alan's expectation. Alan's monthly salary in Fluminense is as high as 85,000 euros, and his annual salary is more than one million euros, equivalent to more than 8 million yuan. In contrast, the sea cow can only provide 5 million yuan annual salary cap, such treatment is obviously difficult to attract the return of Alan.
What's more worrying is that if Qingdao Hainiu can't fulfill the conditions of Fluminense and Alan, the transfer fee and high salary will probably make Hainiu's financial situation worse. For a team that doesn't have a lot of financial resources, whether they are willing to invest a huge amount of money to sign Allan or not needs to be carefully considered.
If Alan fails to return to the Chinese Super League this summer, the likelihood of him returning to the Chinese national soccer team will also be greatly reduced. The national team is currently in crisis at the striker position, with Luo Guofu retiring, Zhang Yuning seriously injured, and Guo Tianyu under investigation for gambling, leaving few players available. Alan's absence will undoubtedly bring a huge blow to the national team.
