Guangzhou Evergrande have smashed the Chinese transfer record after they swooped for Argentine midfielder Dario Conca for $10 million from Brazilian club Fluminese, media reports said Sunday. Conca, who was voted player of the season in Brazil, signed for the Chinese Super League leaders on a three-and-a-half year deal, according to Sina.com. He becomes the most expensive player ever in China, several Chinese websites said. The previous record was also set by big-spending Evergrande after they snared the Brazilian Cleo for $4.65 million earlier this year, the Information Times said.
