CSF's Augusto is reportedly set to join the Chinese Super League (CSL) after reports emerged that the Brazilian international has been in talks with the Chinese club for some time now.
According to a report by The Athletic, Augusto is expected to sign a contract with CSF and join the team for the upcoming season. The move would be a significant one for both parties as it would see the 29-year-old return to China after spending most of his career in Europe.
The news comes at a time when the CSL is looking to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season. With several key players leaving the league last year, the CSL is keen on bringing in new talent to boost its roster.
For Augusto, the move could also provide him with the opportunity to play regularly in a competitive league, something he hasn't had since moving to the Premier League from Barcelona in 2016. He has been a regular starter for CSF since joining the club in 2017 and has contributed significantly to their success in the league.
The transfer window is still open in China, so there may still be other clubs interested in signing Augusto. However, the fact that he is reportedly close to sealing a deal with CSF suggests that he is likely to make the move soon.
Overall, the news of Augusto's potential move to the CSL is sure to be met with excitement by fans of the league and those who follow football in China. It will be interesting to see how the move unfolds and what impact it will have on the CSL this season.
