Negotiations to sign the striker dragged on for months as Guangzhou Evergrande held their grip on him.
Yesterday, however, it was finally announced that the 33-year-old was officially a Rosanero player.
“I'm very happy, negotiations went on for two months but I'm truly satisfied about the conclusion,” he said this morning upon landing in Sicily, as reported by Tuttomercatoweb.
“I gave my word to President [Maurizio] Zamparini six weeks ago already.
“They were the only team that showed true and concrete commitment.
“I'm doing fine, I've been training hard for three months.
“I can promise maximum effort to the supporters, but now I just have to think about working hard.”
