Chinese club to triple Diego Tardelli's salary

Chinese club Shandong Luneng have reportedly agreed to almost triple Atlético Mineiro forward Diego Tardelli's salary if he signs for them.

As quoted in ESPN Brasil, Tardelli currently earns around €26,500 per-week at Atlético Mineiro, but Shandong Luneng are willing to pay him a weekly salary of around €76,500 and he's set to accept it.

Tardelli is Dunga's first-choice striker for the national team, but his international future could be in serious doubt if he accept this astronomical offer and leave Brazil. Interesting to note that the Chinese club's coach is Cuca, who led Galo to Copa Libertadores glory.
