Since the termination of his contract with Guangzhou Evergrande at the end of last year, Axon, a national football "naturalized player" who returned to Brazil for a vacation, has been unemployed for a long time and has not found a new home in Brazil. According to the Brazilian media Boavip, Axon communicated with many Baliga teams during this time, but without exception, they all failed because the other party was unwilling to pay his salary.
The media revealed that Axon has negotiated with Bigafogo, Ceará, and gremio, Corinthians and other big Clubs in bajia, but his salary requirements are considered unacceptable, and Axon is unwilling to accept lower contracts, so he has not been able to successfully apply for a job.
So, how much does Axon really want? According to Brazilian media, when negotiating with Botafogo, Axon offered to get the same salary as the Dutch legend Sidolf who played for Botafogo. At the end of his career, Seedorf played for Botafogo for a time, and it happened that Axon was also playing for Botafogo, and the two were teammates for a while.
It is understood that Seedorf's annual salary in Botafogo at that time was about BRL 8.4 million, or about 1.5 million euros in euros. Compared with the 10 million euros salary that Axon could get when he played at Guangzhou Evergrande, this figure is obviously "insignificant", less than 8.5 million euros, and the salary reduction is as high as 85%! To some extent, Axon has made a huge "concession".
However, Botafogo eventually refused Axon's request, and Bolavip revealed that Botafogo's idea was simple, rather than giving Axon 1.5 million euros, it would be better to find some players in better form and younger, so the negotiations eventually ended.
From the current situation, although it was once considered to be the "standard-bearer" of Chinese players staying in the West, Axon's career in the West has essentially failed before it has even begun. For Axon, he may not have thought that he had made huge concessions on salary, why would he still be unattended in Brazil? Obviously, returning to the Chinese Super League is the most suitable destination for the 33-year-old veteran.
