With the bell ringing on February 16th, local Brazilian media bahianoticias broke the news that Chinese Super League powerhouse Shanghai Harbor was eyeing former team star Iverson, and a formal offer had been quietly handed out.
bahianoticias revealed that Ickerson, who has been a free agent since his farewell to the Guangzhou team, has been coveted by our soccer community for a long time. Shanghai Seaport, through its agent, has officially thrown its hat in the ring to Ickerson in an effort to recreate the striker-killer of yesteryear.
It is reported that Iverson had expected to return to his Brazilian parent team Botafogo, but the negotiation has reached a deadlock. At the same time, the Brazilian media also revealed that the Brazilian Liga team Ceara Athletic also showed great interest in Ickerson, but the two sides have not made substantial progress so far.
Just a short while ago, renowned soccer journalist Jorge Nicolas revealed in his column that Ickxon was waiting for an offer from a Chinese team, but he did not disclose exactly which one. Now, after unsuccessful attempts with both Botafogo and Ceara Athletic, it seems that Aixon has set his sights back on the Chinese league.
It's worth noting that Ickxon played for Shanghai SIPG (now Shanghai Seaport) between 2016 and 2019, appearing in 117 games for the team, contributing 54 goals and helping the team win the Chinese Super League title in 2018. (Source: DD)
