Last January, Chinese giants could have shaken the football market with another unbelievable deal, but it didn't happen. The team of "Fiorentina" was tempted to sell striker Nikola Kalinic to the "Tianjin Quanjian" team for about 50 million euros, and the Croatian himself was offered a staggering annual salary of 10 million euros.
