Guangzhou move best for all concerned - Martinez

After struggling in Spain, the former Atletico Madrid striker believes that his 42 million euros ($45.9 million) transfer to China is best for all three parties.

Jackson Martinez believes his transfer to Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao was best for all concerned, after a disappointing spell at Atletico Madrid.

The Chinese Super League club secured a deal for the Colombia international Tuesday for a fee of 42 million euros ($45.9 million).

Martinez arrived at the Vicente Calderon for €35M ($38.3M) in July last year but failed to replicate his form for Porto in La Liga, scoring just three times for Diego Simeone's side in 23 appearances.
