On February 16, Beijing time, according to the Brazilian media "Bahia News Network", Shanghai Seaport officially quoted Axon. Previously, reporter Li Xuan also revealed: "Axon is really likely to return to the Chinese Super League, wait and see." "Now the most critical issue is that the most stringent salary restriction order of the Chinese Super League will be announced, 3 million yuan before the domestic aid tax, 2 million euros of foreign aid, even if Axon can really sign the contract according to the standard of foreign aid, it also means that he can get up to 1/6 of his previous salary, can Axon accept it?
Due to the early termination of the contract with Guangzhou, Axon returned to Brazil for a long time and did not participate in the previous round of 12 matches. It is reasonable to say that Axon is infinitely close to the Brazilian team, because the strictest salary restriction order in Chinese football is about to be announced, and it is reported that the maximum salary of Chinese players is 3 million yuan before tax, and the salary of foreign aid cannot exceed 2 million euros before tax. According to this salary, Axon will not come back, after all, his previous annual salary was 84 million yuan.
However, the latest news shows that Bahia News Network said that Shanghai Harbor really quoted Axon! Axon played in Shanghai from 2016 to 2018 and helped Harbour win the first Chinese Super League title in team history. And before Li Xuan also had news that Axon was really likely to return to the Chinese Super League.
How likely is this? Let's see, Axon's previous annual salary was 84 million yuan, if according to the standards of domestic players, Axon can only take 3 million yuan, which is difficult for Axon to accept no matter what. Well, after all, it is a naturalized player, that gives the "green light" according to the work of foreign aid, but it is only 2 million euros, only 1/6 of Axon's previous salary.
That is to say, how does it work for Axon to cut his salary by at least 5/6 to sign a contract back to the Chinese Super League? Of course, Gaulat returned to Santos with an annual salary of only 6.9 million yuan, and Axon should understand that even if it is a salary cut, it is more profitable to play football in China.
