Money from the Chinese football league lured yet another famous footballer playing in Europe. The 27-year-old defender of the Belgium national team, Axel Witsel, has decided to follow the example of other players and will test his strength in China. It has been officially confirmed that the Belgian was acquired for 21 million euros by the "Tianjin Quanijian" club. According to various media reports, A. Witsel turned down the opportunity to play for Turin's "Juventus" club and chose a higher salary in China. It is said that the defender will earn 300 thousand euros per week at his new club. Not long ago, Oscar and Carlos Tevez also went to China for impressive salaries. A. Witsel left Lisbon's "Benfica" in 2012 and joined St. Petersburg's "Zenit". Within the ranks of Russian giants, the defender managed to play 179 matches and score 22 goals.
