On a breezy March 19th, Anselmo Freitas, the man at the helm of Barclays Premier League club Atlético Chrissiouma, revealed in a TV interview that the club is serious about signing Chinese striker Luo Guofu. Luo Guofu has been watching the team's matches recently, and the two sides have had in-depth conversations about the possibility of his joining the team.
Freitas further elaborated in the interview, "We have had several rounds of talks with Lok Kwok Foo and have now left the negotiations in the hands of his agent. Lok Kwok Fu has shown great interest in joining our team and we are equally eager to have him. He visited our training center and was very impressed. He is a physically strong striker who shines on the field."
It is worth noting that the issue of salary has not been an obstacle to the negotiations. Freitas said, "Klitschouma has the ability to offer reliable guarantees to every player who joins the team. We have not yet made an offer to Lokomotiv as he has only entrusted the matter to his agent this week and we are waiting for the contract details from them." He added: "Due to the global epidemic, Luo Guofu has decided not to return to China and he intends to stay in Brazil."
Luo Guofu, 33, was dropped from the national football team's list for the western leg of the tournament, along with Aixon, Alan and Fernando, after failing to take part in the fitness test organized by the national football team in this year's Round of 12. Up to now, Luo Guofu has made five appearances for the national football team in the 12-team tournament, including three starts, and contributed one goal. It is worth mentioning that in February this year, Guangzhou officially announced the release of five naturalized players, including Luo Guofu, from their contracts, so he is still a free agent and is free to join any team of his choice.
