Everton Camargo is aiming to capture the attention of scouts from outside Hong Kong with his performances at the Asian Cup in Qatar.
Head coach Jorn Andersen last week called Camargo “Hong Kong’s best footballer”, and the Brazil-born attacker’s thrusting display in Sunday’s opening defeat by the United Arab Emirates justified his billing, on the continent’s biggest stage.
Camargo, who is represented by Brazilian agency Lodi Assessoria Esportiva and has another two years to run on his current deal with Hong Kong Premier League side Lee Man, said he had been talking to a new agent.
“I do not know if I will move because of what happens at the Asian Cup, let’s see,” Camargo said. “But if a team in another country wants me … I have to see if it is good for me and my family, that is the most important thing. If it is OK, we can see.”
The 32-year-old was born in the tiny, southern Brazilian municipality of Soledade, where the only other notable football export is the former Barcelona midfielder Fabio Rochemback.
