On January 13, Beijing time, Ligue 1 powerhouse Marseille officially announced that former Guoan striker Bakambu joined. When he first came to Guoan, plus the transfer adjustment fee, Guoan threw 74 million euros on Bakambu, and finally left at a price of 0. Without a doubt, this is the losing transfer in the history of the Chinese Super League, from 74 million euros to 0, the gap is too big!
In 2018, Bakambu joined Guoan for a transfer fee of 40 million euros, and at that time there was a 34 million euros in reinforcement adjustment fees, and Guoan threw 74 million euros on Bakambu. Today, it seems that 74 million euros is a sky-high price, but at the peak of the Chinese Super League gold dollar era, 74 million euros is not much. For example, oscars pay 60 million euros and Teixeira 50 million euros.
In Guoan, Bakambu made 87 appearances, scored 58 goals, assisted 21 times, and won the FA Cup once. As a world-class striker, Bakambu's performance in Guoan is definitely not passed, and he often plays happy football. However, Bakambu has become the top scorer of Guoan, and in the 2020 season, he is the winner of the Golden Boot in the Chinese Super League.
In the past season, the Chinese Super League was intermittent, and Guoan also gave up the championship and let go of Augusto, Vieira, Bakambu and others.
Bakambu was once associated with Barcelona, but in the end, Bakambu went to Marseille, because he was free, Bakambu joined Marseille without a transfer fee, and the two sides signed a 2-and-a-half-year contract.
Currently, Marseille is 3rd in Ligue 1, 11 points behind Grand Paris with one less game and the same points as 2nd place Nice. Therefore, Marseille still has the hope of competing for the title and has the hope of participating in next season's Champions League!
In Marseille, Bakambu needs to compete for a job, and there are also strong strikers such as Milik and Yundale in the Ligue 1 team. However, bakambu's arrival is certainly a complement to Marseille.
Originally, Bakambu played intermittent league games in the Chinese Super League, and now Bakambu has jumped to the top five leagues and has the opportunity to play Against Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. Bakambu is only 30 years old, and I hope he can shine in the five major leagues and even the Champions League!
