On March 24th in Beijing, the Serbian media broke the heavy news: Montenegrin midfielder superstar Cajevic of the Gularec team is about to embark on a journey to China to join the Chinese Super League team Wuhan.
Kajevic, the midfield soul who has played for Gularec for more than five years, is about to renew his career in our country. Although the Gularec club wants to extend his contract to keep him, Wuhan's offer is quite tempting and hard to resist.
According to the article, the director of the Gularec club, Matijasevic, confirmed the news of Kajevic's departure in an interview and said, "It is true that Kajevic has received an offer from China, and although we would like to keep him, the reality is that we can't do it because we know that this [the new contract] will settle the future of the 32-year-old player, and it's not unrealistic."
However, the departure of Kajevic has been a plus for the Gularecki club. Not only does it prove that the club's players are noticed, but it also gives them a chance to go out and earn more income, and maybe even return to Gularec in the future. At the same time, it sets an example for other players to realize that at the age of 32 there are still opportunities to play in overseas leagues. Matijasevic said, "If there is a good proposal, I won't put the players in the team in trouble. It wouldn't be right to do that in a different way."
Kajevic, 32, who plays as a midfielder, has appeared in 172 matches for the team since joining Guralich in July 2016, scoring 32 goals and becoming an indispensable mainstay of the team. This season, he has appeared in 23 games, scoring seven goals and contributing two assists.
It is worth mentioning that the Wuhan team has been in the spotlight for Artemisia Junmin and other players who have been publicly asking for salary from the club. But for Wuhan fans, there is also good news: the head coach Li Jinyu chose to stay in the team to continue coaching. The team then announced the addition of Hu Jinghang, Nie Aoshuang and Han Xuan. According to foreign media reports, Kajevic will be traveling to our country in the coming weeks, and if all goes well, he will be expected to debut at the start of the Chinese Super League. (DD)
