The Chinese Super League's summer transfer feast is about to kick off, and the one-month window will be a golden period for all the big players to expand their lineups. According to the Belgian media, Bakary, the former star of the Belgian national team, is likely to receive an olive branch from the Chinese Super League this summer. Given Bakary's rich resume and loud reputation, he is likely to become the number one foreign aid in the transfer market of the Chinese Super League this summer.
Bakary is currently playing for Valwijk in the Dutch Eredivisie and his contract will expire next year. Belgian soccer 24 hours website revealed that Bakary plans to change this summer, the reason is that he has not been able to sit in the main position in Valwijk, he is seriously considering the invitation of the Chinese Super League team. This is not the first time Bakary has been linked with a Chinese team. A year ago there were rumors that he might join the Chinese Super League, but they didn't come true. This time, it remains to be seen whether he can "revive his old dream".
Sakarya Bakary is 27 years old. He was snapped up by the Belgian national team at the age of 17. At the age of 16, Bakary made history in the Dutch Eredivisie, becoming the youngest player to complete a hat-trick in the league. During his time at Dutch giants Eindhoven, Bakary was hailed as a genius of Belgian soccer, progressing at a rate no less than that of renowned strikers such as Romelu Lukaku, Benteke and Origi. However, a failed trip to La Liga left him devastated and he eventually returned to Anderlecht in Belgium. But last year he was discarded by the team and moved to Valwijk.
In the season he spent in Valwijk, Bakary made 18 appearances but mostly came on as a substitute and saw very little playing time. But even so, he capitalized on his chances, scoring three goals, especially against Alkmaar, where he put on two consecutive goals in just 10 minutes, giving a vague glimpse of the style he once had.
Only 1.68 meters tall Bakary, with excellent offensive skills and good physical fitness, able to play as a winger. If he can successfully land in the Chinese Super League, is expected to become a "small steel gun". It is reported that Bakary asked for an annual salary of more than 1 million euros, about 8 million yuan. In the current environment of the Chinese Super League, there are very few foreign aid clubs that can offer such a high salary.
