"Madridd's team "Atletico" decided to hedge their bets.
The "La Liga" club is aiming to acquire Paris "Saint Germain" striker Edinson Cavani in January, but until signatures are put on the future contract, the Spaniards are also looking at backup candidates.
"Goal" wrote that the team led by Diego Simeone is considering the candidacy of Cedrick Bakambu, shining in the Chinese league.
The 28-year-old Frenchman has scored 34 goals for Beijing "Guoan" team in 46 matches, and he also has experience playing in Spain, defending the colors of "Villarreal" team from 2015 to 2018.
In China, the striker earns 10 million euros per season, but the new regulations in the championships will require clubs to significantly cut costs and this could result in C.Bakambu's return to Europe."
