The Chinese Super League (CSL) summer window is in flux, and focal player and naturalized international Alan, a star who once shone for Guangzhou Evergrande, is in a tug-of-war with Qingdao Hainiu over a transfer. Rumor has it that the two sides have entered a critical period of negotiation, but the turn of events has come suddenly and the transfer process has encountered many obstacles. Fluminense, the Brazilian club that Alain belongs to, demanded a high transfer fee, and Alain's personal salary demand is beyond the affordability of Qingdao Hainiu, which seems to indicate that the transfer may be aborted.
According to Brazilian media outlet Explosaotricolor, Qingdao Hainiu have their sights set on Alan, but Fluminense are unwilling to let him go easily. Allan has one and a half years left on his contract with the club, so they expect a transfer fee. Although the exact amount has not yet been revealed, the transfer fee is expected to be between 300,000-500,000 euros based on Alain's market value.
The Brazilian media pointed out that Qingdao Hainiu has only had contact with Alan's agent and has not yet had direct talks with Fluminense. This means that the success of the transfer is yet to be seen. In addition, the contract conditions offered by Qingdao Hainiu are far from Alan's expectations. It is reported that Alan's monthly salary in Fluminense is as high as 85,000 euros, and his annual salary is about one million euros, which is equivalent to more than 8 million yuan; while Qingdao Hainiu is only willing to provide local players with a maximum annual salary of 5 million yuan, which is obviously difficult to attract Alan to return to the Chinese Super League.
If Qingdao Hainiu fails to meet the demands of Fluminense and the player himself, the high transfer fee and the player's high salary will multiply the financial pressure on the club. For this team with limited financial resources, whether to take the risk of signing Alan needs to be carefully considered.
If Alan is unable to return to the Chinese Super League this season, his dream of returning to the Chinese national soccer team may be dashed. Currently, the national team's forward line is in crisis: Luo Guofu is retiring, Zhang Yuning is seriously injured, Guo Tianyu is suspected of gambling and is under investigation, and there are very few available forwards. Alan's absence will undoubtedly bring a serious challenge to the national team.
