Can you be exempted from signing to the Chinese Super League, but you don't want it? The 22-year-old Guangzhou team ace bids farewell to China! Hit 18 goals and won the silver boot of the middle league

After the Chinese Super League "8 champions" Guangzhou team announced its withdrawal from the professional league, the players in the team also began to look for their next home. On January 9, Beijing time, the Portuguese first division team Portimão officially announced the official signing of 22-year-old Guangzhou team foreign aid Juan Alegría (Juan Alegría).

Since Allegria's contract with Guangzhou has expired at the end of last season, Guangzhou naturally cannot choose to activate the renewal clause between the two parties after its disbandment, which also means that Allegria is a free agent, and Portimão did not need to spend a penny on the transfer fee to sign the Colombian goalscorer.

In February last year, Allegria came to China from the Colombian league and made 26 appearances in one year for the Guangzhou team, scoring 18 goals and performing quite well, winning the second place in the scorer list of the 2024 season. It was also with Allegria's outstanding performance that the Guangzhou team won the third place in the Chinese League last season and almost returned to the Chinese Super League.

At present, Allegria is worth as much as 600,000 euros on the German "Transfer Market", which is higher than the foreign goalscorers of many Chinese Super League teams. In the context of the Chinese Super League's lack of finding high-quality foreign strikers, it is indeed regrettable that no team has tried to keep Allegria, who has proven himself in the Chinese League, in the Chinese League. In fact, with his age and potential, he can gain a foothold in the middle league and even the middle and lower reaches of the Chinese Super League.
