According to the Oriental Sports Daily, Gorat, who has quickly returned to Evergrande, has agreed to join the Chinese nationality, and is expected to complete the naturalization procedures as early as next year to compete in the world preliminary for the Chinese men's football team.
Is Gorat going to play for the Chinese national team?
Goliath is frustrated to enter the Brazil national team. Evergrande's rich contract made him agree to become a Chinese citizen
"Oriental Sports Daily" wrote that the greater purpose behind the return of Gorat is related to the impact of the Chinese team on the 2022 World Cup. This time, Evergrande club gave Gorat a five-year long-term contract, and his annual salary almost doubled when he left the team half a year ago, exceeding 10 million euros. Gorat's original contract with Evergrande will expire at the end of this year. The reason why Evergrande is willing to offer such a generous treatment is that it hopes that Gorat will continue to make contributions to the team, and that Gorat will be naturalized in China to participate in the world preliminary match on behalf of the Chinese team. Behind the five-year contract is the agreement and consensus on the issue of naturalization between the two sides. Goliath has agreed to naturalize in China in the future and play in the world preliminary competition on behalf of the Chinese team.
In addition, Evergrande had secret talks with Goliath about naturalization long before Goliath joined Palmeras on loan. But at that time, Gorat hoped to be selected into Brazil's national team for this year's Copa America, so he insisted on playing in Brazil. Now, Gorat missed the Brazil national team, has been disheartened to be included in the Brazil team.
