He became a millionaire by playing in the Chinese League and now might partner Cristiano Ronaldo

Some years ago, he was scoring here and there in Europe. He shone in Serie A, Eredivisie and Premier League, to be called up to Italy national team for 2016 Euros. Then, an offer from China came and he saw a great opportunity to get the big money. He became one of the top earners in the world, but that adventure has just come to an end.

Now, it turned out that Andrea Pirlo is interested in him and wants to take him to Juventus. The manager wants someone to rotate when the starters want to rest and at 35 years old, he might have his first chance of playing for an Italian big club and of course, of playing with Cristiano Ronaldo too.

This striker is Graziano Pelle, who earned more than 10 million euros per year at Shandong Luneng, the team that he has played for for four years and a half. Now without a club, he could come back to Italy as a free agent. Given his age, it would not be that difficult to convince him to join the Old Lady.

Pelle started his career at Lecce, and after some loans and bad performances in his country, he did great when he left to Netherlands and played for AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord. After two years in Southampton, he enjoyed of the money and the idol status in China. He also was good for Italy, when he scored nine goals in the 20 games he played.
