Globoesporte reports that Conca would be paid €26.5 million over two and a half years should he join Guangzhou, approximately €10.4 million a year, which is currently only lower than the salaries of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Fluminense coach Abel Braga has encouraged Conca to accept the move, saying: “This is a good offer for the club, and words cannot describe what it represents to Conca. It will allow him and his family financial security in just two and a half years.
“This offer will put him in the top ten highest-paid players in the world. Let us hope that it happens. He is a guy who has completely identified with the club but this is a unique opportunity,” added Braga.
Conca joined Flu from River Plate in 2008 initially on loan, and then signed a permanent deal in 2009. He helped the club to win last season’s Brasileirão, and was voted as the league’s best player for his efforts during the campaign.
