Congratulations Real Madrid for winning Fifa club world cup 2016 defeating Kashima Antlers 4-2 in extra time. and what a run by Kashima Antlers from hosts to finals and holding RM for whole 90 min shows the level of Japanese football.
Atlanta United's $8.5 million transfer bid for Paraguayan striker Oscar Romero is dead, with sources confirming to Goal USA that Romero has passed on an MLS move in favor of a more lucrative transfer to Chinese club Shanghai SIPG. Atlanta's bid was a sizable one by MLS standards, but Shanghai SIPG dwarfed Atlanta's bid with a $14.5 sale price combined with a player salary component equivalent to three times what Atlanta was going to pay the 24-year-old striker.
Seriously, Why are these Chinese Clubs spending exorbitant amount of money in getting players from Europe and South America. Its not that the league there is very profitable and TV Revenues aren't that great. Shouldn't they go for an organic growth rather than Money infused Steroidical growth.
No Bro, their TV deal is lucrative. 250million USD per year . 5 year deal worth 1.25Biliion USD . They've got decent attendance figures ,strong owners and good sponsorship .Their league structure is stable and professional. But then again 60mil GBP for Oscar is a bit too much .
