Chinese Club Breaks African Transfer Record
Beijing Guoan met the Congo striker's €40million release clause at Villarreal in January but have since been embroiled in a lengthy discussion with the Chinese authorities over tax regulations on football transfers.
"It was not an easy decision for me to make", the 26-year-old Bakambu said of his move to the Chinese Super League in a statement released by the club.
An official transfer fee has not been disclosed - Beijng Guoan general manager Li Ming insisted the figure will be kept "strictly confidential" - but multiple reports suggest the final amount is in the region of €74m, outstripping the €65m Arsenal paid Borussia Dortmund for Gabon star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January.
Bakambu has been training with Guoan since January, but the club tried to find a loophole in the rules in order to avoid paying a 100% "luxury tax", which was introduced previous year, after activating the player's £35.5 million (R580 million) release clause.
"Now, I'm finally here with my team and I will try my best to help them. Now it is my turn to help the team". The club signed eight new players in the offseason, including Villarreal hitman Cedric Bakambu, Las Palmas midfielder Jonathan Viera and talented local player Wei Shihao, obviously boosting the German's confidence.
