Midfielder Hernanes to return to Hebei China Fortune
Rio de Janeiro, Jan 6 (IANS) Brazilian fottball club Sao Paulo have confirmed that former Juventus midfielder Hernanes will return to Hebei China Fortune this month after a successful loan spell.
But the Tricolor have not given up hope of negotiating a new deal for the 32-year-old, who has expressed a desire to remain in Brazil, reports Xinhua news agency.
“It’s complicated but we think there is still a chance that we can reach a new agreement,” Sao Paulo executive director Rai told reporters.
Hernanes rejoined his original club in July on a 12-month loan but the Chinese Super League outfit exercised an option to end the deal on December 31.
The playmaker made 19 appearances for Sao Paulo in 2017 and scored nine goals.
Hernanes said he has not given up hope of swift return to Brazil as he seeks an international recall ahead of the World Cup in June and July.
“I’m still going to try to find a way to stay (at Sao Paulo) by speaking to a director or the coach personally in China,” Hernanes said.
“If I stay I think I will be closer to the radar of the national team.”
Hebei China Fortune signed Hernanes from Italy’s Juventus on a three-year deal in January. His career has also included spells at Lazio and Internazionale.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
