Juventus’ Hernanes in talks with Hebei China Fortune
Rio de Janeiro, Feb 5 (IANS) Brazilian midfielder Hernanes could be the latest South American footballer to join the Chinese Super League, according to media reports.
The 31-year-old is in advanced talks with Hebei China Fortune after falling out of favour at Italian Serie A champions Juventus, according to widespread media reports in Brazil on Saturday, reports Xinhua.
The Chinese club has reportedly offered Juventus around $12 million to secure Hernandes on a two-year deal.
