December 22-according to Heavy Sports reporter Steve Bulpett, an anonymous general manager revealed that John Collins’s big contract may become a major factor hindering his deal.
The general manager said: “it’s just not sure how many teams will be willing to accept his contract (last year signed 125 million yuan for five years, 23.5 million this year, 26.6 million for the next three seasons, and there are player options in the last season). He is very talented. I think the price of $15 million will be more acceptable.”
