At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 13, the Brazilian Second Division team Gremio officially announced that the team officially signed the 32-year-old Axon, and the two sides signed a contract that expires at the end of this year. Axon became the second naturalized international to stay in the ocean after Luo Guofu.
After Gaulat and Lo Guofu, Axon is the third naturalized player to return to the Brazilian league. Of course, Gaulat, who has not yet qualified for the national football team, is likely to regain his Brazilian citizenship, while Lo Guofu and Axon will play for Mineiro America and Gremio respectively.
It is understood that Axon signed a "1+1" contract with Gremio, that is, the contract contains a 1-year preferential renewal clause. Axon's annual salary at Gremio will not exceed 5.7 million yuan, which is less than he earns in a month at Guangzhou Evergrande. Axon also just caught up with the dividend of naturalization, when Evergrande gave him a double salary to persuade him to naturalize, and his last contract in the Chinese Super League earned an annual salary of 84 million yuan and earned 7 million yuan a month.
Former Guangzhou Evergrande players, including Muric, Gaulat and Luo Guofu, have all joined the Bajia team in this winter window. In the new season, there are a total of 16 veterans of the Chinese Super League. Axon can only play in the second division in the new season, and there is also an old acquaintance of the Chinese Super League in the second division, he is Raphael Silva, who once played in Wuhan Zhuoer.
In Gaulat, Luo Guofu and Axon, the three naturalized players who left Guangzhou Evergrande, have all found their next home, and now only Alain and Fernando are still idle at home. It is understood that Alain is close to returning to his old club Fruminense, while Fernando's prospects are not very clear, after all, he has been lying flat for a year or two, and no one knows if he can still play.
