Tim Cahill expects $100m transfer in China

Shanghai Shenhua midfielder Tim Cahill predicts that a Chinese Super League club will spend $100m on a player sooner rather than later.

Shanghai Shenhua midfielder Tim Cahill has predicted that the record transfer fee in the Chinese Super League will continue to be broken in 2016.

Alex Teixeira's £38m move ($77.4m) from Shakhtar Donetsk to Jiangsu Suning represented the fourth time that the transfer record had been broken this year, but Cahill has suggested that the first $100m transfer is not too far away.

Speaking on Fox Sports' Shootout, the 36-year-old said: "When I first went to China I knew the vision, I knew what was behind it and I knew what they wanted to do. To see where it's come to now and where we're at, it's pretty crazy.

"They've got the power and when they want something, they get it and when they don't want something they get rid of it. It's pretty much like a revolving door, you see a lot of players coming in and a lot of players going.

"It's crazy to see but this is only going to get worse. This is going to be massive, soon they'll break the $100m mark easily."

Recent reports had suggested that Chelsea midfielder Oscar was the subject of a £75m bid from Jiangsu Suning, but the Blues have denied that an offer was received.
