RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 6 -- Guangzhou Evergrande playmaker Ricardo Goulart could return to his native Brazil to play with Atletico Mineiro this year, according to media reports in the South American country.

Goulart is contracted with the Chinese Super League club until December 2023 but Atletico are considering an offer of around 6.5 million euros (7 million U.S. dollars) to secure the 28-year-old, the Lance news portal said on Thursday.

The former Brazil international, who became a naturalized Chinese citizen last July, has scored 110 goals in 155 appearances for Evergrande across all competitions since joining the club from Cruzeiro in 2017.

He returned to Brazil last year for a brief loan spell with Palmeiras, with whom he played 11 Brazilian Serie A matches and scored four goals.

Evergrande won their eighth Chinese Super League title in nine years in December by finishing the 2019 season just two points ahead of Beijing Guoan.
