Hebei China Fortune make bid for Argentine striker

Xinhua, February 5, 2016 Adjust font size:

Atletico Mineiro have reportedly received a 15 million-euro offer from Hebei China Fortune for Argentine striker Lucas Pratto.

The proposal follows a failed 13 million-euro bid for the 27-year-old by Guangzhou Evergrande, the Sambafoot news portal said on Thursday.

"Atletico Mineiro find themselves in a situation where it's nearly impossible to reject a proposal like this," the portal said.

Pratto has scored 23 goals in 59 appearances for Atletico since joining the club from Velez Sarsfield in December 2014.

Hebei China Fortune were promoted to the Chinese Super League after finishing second in the country's second division last year. Endit
