Brazil striker Tardelli reveals ‘irresistible’ Chinese offer
Rio de Janeiro: Brazil international striker Diego Tardelli revealed he has received an “irresistible offer” to join a club in China.
The 29-year-old Thursday said a move would depend on an agreement between the suitor – believed to be Shandong Luneng – and his current club Atletico Mineiro, as per reported.
“Right now nothing is certain. I’ve left it in the hands of the club and my agent (Giuliano Bertolucci),” Tardelli told reporters.
“I think every player would like to be in my situation. If I go, it’s going to be good for me. If I stay I will be happy too because of my relationship with Atletico and the fans. It’s a good proposal, irresistible. But it has to be good for me and (Atletico).”
According to Brazilian media, Shandong Luneng face competition for Tardelli’s signature from their Chinese rivals Guangzhou Evergrande.
Atletico Mineiro have reportedly already rejected an initial six million-euro bid from Shandong for the former Real Betis player.
Tardelli scored 10 goals from 23 Brazilian Serie A matches in 2014. He was recalled to Brazil’s squad by national coach Dunga in September.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
