As one of the biggest buyers in Chinese football this winter, Chinese League A side Yunnan Yukun has made a number of eye-catching deals in the transfer market. At the same time, Yunnan Yukun still did not stop buying. In an interview, Romania international midfielder Alexandre Ionita confirmed that he has signed a contract with Yunnan Yukun, the third foreign player to win this winter.
Ionita is a star player in the Romanian league, a three-time league champion and a key player for traditional powerhouse Rapid Bucharest. Why is such a player willing to "commit" to join a Chinese league team. In this regard, Ionita did not shy away from saying that she was attracted by the high-paying contract offered by Yunnan Yukun, not only that, but he also revealed that his future goal is to stay in China for a long time.
I think it's a whole new experience to play in China. "This kind of opportunity doesn't happen every day. I'm coming to the end of my career and I think I have five years left, but I really want to stay in China for a long time. Because if you can play in China for as long as possible, it will be very good from a financial point of view. Before retiring, I thought it was the best option for me. ”
In fact, Ionita's annual salary in Yukun, Yunnan is not too high. According to Romania, Ionita's salary in Yunnan is about 500,000 euros per season, which is obviously a gap with the traditional perception of high-paid foreign players. However, given the low income of Romanian league players in general, €500,000 is already very attractive for Ionita. It's no wonder that despite being only 29 years old, Ionita has already made Chinese football his main "gold rush" before retiring.
