Former striker Villarreal Cedric Bacamba officially became a player Beijing Guoan.

Bacamba joined Beijing Guoan in January, but officially the club announced only now.

The amount of the transaction is not broken, but according to the BBC, it amounted to about $ 90 million.

Thus, Cedric broke the record for the transfer value among African players. Previously, it belonged to the Gabonese Pierre-Emeric Obama, for which Arsenal paid Borussia $ 77 million.

Beijing Guoan, who finished last season with the ninth of the 16 teams of the Chinese Super League, paid Villarreal Klausul player in 50 million dollars.

The rest of the club had to pay the Chinese Football Association as a tax on a legionary, more than 5.5 million euros. Beijing tried to prove that he got Bakamba as a free agent, and money was paid to Villarreal by a third party, but failed.

The only thing that was achieved by the club - a discount on the tax, instead of 50 million euros, he paid only 40.

Bacamba is the only African in the history of La Liga, who won the award to the best player of the month.

On the account of Cedric seven goals for the team of DR Congo.
