The Best Player In MLS Turns Down Huge Offers From China

The Chinese Super League continues to attract some of the biggest names in football with their extremely lucrative offers. But they failed in their bid to land the best player in the MLS.

Sebastian Giovinco will remain in North America with Toronto FC despite receiving huge offers from China.

His agent Andrea D'Amico detailed the situation by claiming his star client was subject to heavy interest from several CSL sides.

But even with mega-contracts reportedly tabled, 'Gio' rejected their advances to stay with the Canadian side.

Speaking to Sky Sport Italia via Goal, D'Amico reiterated the Italians stance though refused to rule out a move in the future.

"For now, he has said no."

"The money was not right for Toronto and it wasn't right for him either, but let's see. When you talk about the transfer market, it's always a case of 'for now.'"

Stressing 'for now.'

"There are so many intermediaries operating with Chinese clubs."

"They came here and made us an offer, both from Beijing and from other clubs, and then there is an escalation once the first offer is rejected with a better one arriving."

Will we see the diminutive play-maker in the Far East, one day?
