Brazilian forward Edinson Cavani has become the most expensive signing in China League One football history, according to reports from the country.

The Uruguayan striker, who is currently playing for Shanghai Shenhua, was signed by the club for an estimated €11 million ($12.7 million). The deal was announced on Wednesday and will see Cavani play until the end of the season.

Cavani's arrival in China has generated much excitement among fans and media alike, with many predicting that he could help Shanghai Shenhua challenge for promotion to the top flight next year.

However, the move has also raised questions about the future of the Chinese league, which is still relatively new compared to other professional leagues around the world. Many have suggested that the high fees being paid to foreign players may be putting too much pressure on the domestic clubs, potentially leading to a lack of local talent in the long run.

Despite these concerns, the signing of Cavani has certainly added some excitement to the Chinese league and could prove to be a significant boost for the struggling clubs in the division. With his experience and skillset, it remains to be seen whether Cavani can make a real impact at Shanghai Shenhua or not. But one thing is certain - he will definitely add another chapter to his illustrious career.
