On July 1, Beijing time, when the summer window of the Chinese Super League had just opened, media person Yuan Jia revealed that Balotelli had completed a physical examination and would join a team in Shanghai, and directly said that this team was Shanghai Shenhua. According to previous foreign media reports, Balotelli is worth less than 10 million yuan and earns 1.5 million euros a year after tax.
In fact, Balotelli has long had various rumors with the Chinese Super League team, and the original Tianjin Quanjian and Jiangsu Suning have been exposed to the possibility of introducing Balotelli. Subsequently, all 2 teams were disbanded.
In June, Italian media broke the news that a Chinese Super League team made an offer for Balotelli. Balotelli played for Swiss side Sion and scored six goals in 18 appearances last season before Sion suffered relegation at the end of the league. It is worth mentioning that Balotelli's relationship with Sion's management and fans is very bad, and after Sion's relegation, leaving is basically a foregone conclusion.
In addition, according to the data of "Transfer Market", Balotelli is currently worth only about 10 million yuan, and there is only one year left on his contract with the original club, so the introduction of him will not exceed the standard, that is, less than 10 million yuan.
In addition, Italian media reported that Balotelli's annual salary requirements are not high, only about 1.5 million euros.
As soon as the summer window of the Chinese Super League opened, it was reported that Balotelli accepted the physical examination arranged by Shenhua and was about to join.
