Brazil's famous São Paulo club officially announced this morning that the 29-year-old Alexander Pato has officially joined the two sides until 2022, which is the second time in Pato's career that he has joined São Paulo Club. Pato has just terminated his contract with Tianjin Tianhai Club, so this franchise is a free transfer and does not involve a transfer fee transaction. Unlike Modeste and Witsel before him, Pato is a real free transfer.
In the past two seasons, Pato has scored a total of 36 goals for Tianjin Quanjian, including 30 goals in the Chinese Super League, 4 goals in the AFC Champions League and 2 goals in the FA Cup, making him the number one star of Tianjin Quanjian Club. His departure also marked the official and complete disintegration of the three superstars who had been invited by modesty and Witsel. After changing his name to Tianjin Tianhai Club, Pato thought that his personal future was uncertain, so he resolutely chose to leave. After joining São Paulo, he returned to Brazilian football after a gap of four years. It seems that Pato is tired of his career as a wanderer, because he personally spent 3 million euros on the termination of the contract alone.
After joining São Paulo Club this time, Pato's biggest impact is naturally personal income, and the current annual salary offered to him by São Paulo Club is about BRL 7.2 million, which is only equivalent to 1/3 of his income in the Chinese Super League, and his income has directly shrunk by more than 60%! This does show Pato's determination to leave the Chinese Super League, even if he terminates the contract out of his own pocket and the annual salary is greatly reduced, he is not willing to waste time in China.
In terms of strength and performance, Pato was recognized in the Chinese Super League, and what made him more famous was his attitude to life in China. However, with his departure, the past of square dancing and unrequited love for Di Li Reba has become a floating cloud. In fact, Pato is not without options, joining other Chinese Super League giants and J League teams is a more realistic choice, but sometimes the pursuit of high salaries is not the whole choice of a player.
In addition to helping the promoted horse to reach the AFC Champions League, the classic memories of Pato in the Chinese Super League also have the famous "Shilinzan" incident. Pato's memories in China may be unforgettable for the rest of his life, from the profligate Quan Jian Club, to his shouts with Reba in the air, to the disappointment after quan Jian's overthrow and the club's changes. Life is not such a ups and downs, the past ten years of career, Pato has been accompanied by ups and downs, this is his own player career and destiny.
