Brazilian media outlet Terra reported that Botafogo and exxon's agent had initial conversations, while the players were interested in living in Rio.
Axon left China yesterday and promised before leaving that if the Chinese national team is called up, he will definitely return to China to participate in the round of 12. When Axon returned to Brazil, he received attention from Brazilian teams, including his old club Botafogo, a Brazilian club looking to strengthen the team's forward line. According to Brazilian media outlet Terra, Botafogo and the Exxon agent had preliminary conversations and discussed the possibility of a transfer.
Botafogo was unable to offer Axon a high salary due to financial circumstances, but Axon's fondness for the club and life in Rio helped the deal finally materialize. Ekson's agent said: "Ekson's salary will be lower, but his son lives in Rio, he also owns an apartment in Rio, I think he will be interested in living in Rio, and he also likes Botafogo." ”
