Not long ago, a transfer in the Chinese Super League was related to the interests of the two clubs, and Barton, who came out of the Guoan youth training, officially transferred to Tianjin Jinmen Tigers. Last season, Barton was shot by Tsumen Tigers coach Yu Genwei and then coordinated with Guoan, who was released without blocking the player's future. From the championship to the relegation, Barton did not show discomfort, but actively integrated into the team, quickly became the main force, scored goals and also obtained the national football team call-up, but also completed the debut of the national football team, Barton's growth ushered in a qualitative leap.
Although the relationship with Guoan is deeper, after all, there is a long period of companionship as the basis, but Barton's choice of Jinmen Tiger is also understandable, the latter can not only provide the main position, but also can ensure sufficient playing time, which is also conducive to Barton to ensure the position of the national football team, after the official announcement of the transfer on January 22, the outside world is more understanding and support. Barton's transfer also became the first active international transfer in the winter window. However, just 3 weeks after the official announcement, the transfer was suddenly urgent, FIFA directly intervened in the transfer of The Jinmen Tigers, and Barton's joining also cast a shadow.
Just in the preparation process of the new season, Jinmen Tiger suddenly received a ban from FIFA, and it is impossible to complete the registration of new players, to know that this is not the first time that Jinmen Tiger has received a ban, it seems that it has become a frequent focus of FIFA. According to informed media, the main reason for this time is the arrears of foreign aid Jonathan's fees, the amount of which is as high as more than 10 million yuan. Although it is a debt left by the former owner Teda, FIFA only recognizes the club, and it is currently the responsibility of Jinmen Tiger.
In the face of a sudden ticket, Jinmen Tiger was very tricky to solve. Tens of millions of yuan of debt is a huge amount of money for Jinmen Tiger, and it is difficult for existing investors to pay, because TEDA has no longer invested, so whether this money can be paid has become unknown, at least there is no positive signal at present. And the transfer is in a locked state, the club's only international, but also the biggest player Barton can not complete the registration procedures, and can not represent the team, this is obviously a lose-lose situation, especially the players, if you can not register, then Barton can only find another high, is a huge loss to the Jinmen Tigers.
