Two years ago, Jackson Martinez, who had moved to Guangzhou for 42 million euros, became unnecessary for the Chinese and they decided to part ways with him without any transfer fee.
The striker became known after several great seasons at Porto, where he scored 94 goals in 143 matches and caught the attention of Atletico Madrid.
However, his career in Spain did not go as planned and the Colombian went to China after just half a season with the "Matracais."
Then Martinez became the record purchase in the league of that country, and Evergrande hoped that he would become their biggest star. However, he did not live up to the expectations.
Now 31 years old, the striker constantly suffered from injuries in Asia and only played 16 matches in total. In those matches, he managed to score four goals and provide two assists.
Due to his poor form, the Guangzhou team decided not to include him in the squad registered for the new Chinese league season, so now Martinez will have to look for a new job.
