Villarrael have announced on their official website that Cedric Bakambu has left the club, with the Congolese striker moving to Chinese Super League outfit Beijing Guoan.
The 26-year old has been subject of strong interest from a host of Chinese clubs in recent months, having scored 32 goals in 75 league appearances for El Submarino Amarillo.
It was announced a couple of days ago that Beijing Guoan were ready to pay the
€40m release clause in his contract, and Villarreal have now confirmed that Bakambu has left the club.
