Timed to Beijing on February 12, renowned journalist Jorge Nicolai disclosed in his column that former Guangzhou naturalized star Ickerson is awaiting an offer from a Chinese team to decide whether to return to the Brazilian league.
Numerous Brazilian media outlets have reprinted Jorge Nicolai's report. It is reported that Ixon has received two offers from Botafogo and Ceara Athletic in the Barclays Premier League, but he is still expecting an offer from a Chinese team. He has chosen to be patient before making a final decision.
The Chinese transfer window has yet to close, and Aixon's discussions could be extended as a result. Jorge Nicolá points out that Botafogo and Ceará Athletic may not wait indefinitely given Ickerson's hesitation. The likelihood of them signing Ickxon is dwindling.
Since leaving Guangzhou last year, Iverson has been in free agency. Botafogo should be the first Brazilian club to contact Ickerson, but Ickerson has not yet made a decision. Sources said that Botafogo failed to satisfy Ickxon in the first round of offer and is preparing to launch a second round of offer; meanwhile, there are also reports that Botafogo may withdraw from the negotiation.
