The FC Barcelona has beaten all the records in China with the signing of Paulinho. In total, all the sales of players of the Superliga Chinese up to now had accumulated 25,91 million euros. Only the traspaso of Paulinho costs 40 'kilos'
The FC Barcelona could have marked a turning point in the market of Chinese signings. What up to now had been a market of imports and no of exports, could change after the signing of Paulinho by the FC Barcelona, at a rate of the payment of the clause of rescission of 40 million euros that the Brazilian midfield player had with the Asian group.
And it is that, up to now, the Chinese teams had sold to foreign clubs by value of 25,91 millions in total, and the traspaso of Paulinho of the Guangzhou Evergrande to the Barça already will report by himself only practically the double of this figure.
To date, the sale more cuantiosa of the Superliga of China was the one of another Brazilian, Muriqui, that left the Guangzhou Evergrande to leave to the To the-Sadd of Catar by 5,9 million euros in 2014. The signing of Paulinho is more expensive that all the other together operations of China to other countries, along the history of said competition, as they have informed 'Transfermarkt' and 'Panenka'.
To all this, fits recalcar that, of the most notable Leagues of Europe, only two German teams had disbursed money for fichar in China: the Wolfsburgo, that incorporated to Xizhe Zhang by 1,5 million of euros, and the Eintracht of Frankfurt, that signed to the Hungarian Huszti by 250.000 euros.
Other clubs of big Leagues like the Spaniard or the Italian also received in his day to players of the Superliga of China, although always by means of the letter of freedom or a cession. Now, it will be necessary to see if the of the Barça with Paulinho remains in exception or is a turning point.
The most expensive sales of the Superliga Chinese (Transfermarkt):
- Paulinho (BRA): 40 millions (of the Guangzhou to the FC Barcelona) in 2017
- Muriqui (BRA): 5,9 millions (of the Guangzhou to the To the-Sadd) in 2014
- Lucas Neighbourhoods (PAIR): 3 millions (of the Guangzhou to the Spartak of Moscow) in 2013
- Zhi Zheng (CHI): 3 millions (of the Shandong Luneng to Charlton) in 2007
- Xizhe Zhang (CHI): 1,5 millions (of the Beijing Guoan to the Wolfsburgo) in 2015
