With former Barcelona coach Setien officially taking over the reins of Beijing Guoan, the new season of this veteran powerhouse in the Chinese Super League has become highly anticipated. However, although Beijing Guoan has started the first phase of winter training, coach Setien has not yet officially taken office. He will only officially take up his post when the second phase of Beijing Guoan's winter training begins.
Although Setien has not yet officially taken office, Beijing Guoan's winter transfer work is also in full swing. According to famous football journalist Yang Tianying, in order to further upgrade the squad, Beijing Guoan will inevitably introduce some plug-and-play tough players. And according to reports from many domestic media outlets, as of now, Beijing Guoan has already secured three national team-level new signings.
These three national team-level new signings who are about to join Beijing Guoan are Wu Shaocong, Serginho, and Wei Zhen. These three national team-level players have become the top targets for Beijing Guoan to strengthen their squad during the winter window. Their joining will undoubtedly greatly enhance Beijing Guoan's competitiveness in the new season.
Wu Shaocong, a young defender in the prime of his career, has been struggling on European fields in recent years. From being a mainstay in the Turkish Super League to gaining experience in the Polish league, Wu Shaocong's football career has been filled with ups and downs and challenges. Although his performance in the Polish league has not yet reached its peak, Wu Shaocong's potential and strength have long been widely recognized within the industry. Now, facing the olive branch thrown by Beijing Guoan, after repeatedly suffering setbacks abroad, Wu Shaocong is very likely to choose to return to the Chinese Super League to start a new chapter in his career with a fresh look. It is worth mentioning that Wu Shaocong is very likely to be selected for the national team's training camp in January and become a key player under Ivankovic. This news undoubtedly adds more possibilities and rationality to Wu Shaocong's joining of Guoan.
Serginho, on the other hand, is the ace tough guy that Beijing Guoan has always wanted to naturalize. This midfielder with excellent skills and vision has long become the "white moonlight" in the hearts of Guoan fans. His joining will not only enhance the overall strength of Beijing Guoan's midfield but also has the potential to lead the team to aim for the Chinese Super League championship. If Serginho can successfully wear the Beijing Guoan jersey and participate in Ivan's training camp as a naturalized national team player, it would be an honor for Guoan.
Wei Zhen, a young talent from Shanghai Port, is also a long-coveted transfer target for Beijing Guoan. As a young national team defender, Wei Zhen has shown outstanding predictive ability and interception skills at the defensive end. His joining will undoubtedly add a solid barrier to Guoan's backline. Wei Zhen himself is also very keen on joining Guoan, which makes this transfer more feasible.
With the addition of these three national team-level players, Beijing Guoan's new season lineup will not only be renewed but also significantly stronger than before. It can be foreseen that under the leadership of world-renowned coach Setien, Beijing Guoan's new season will be full of infinite possibilities and hope. If they perform well, they even have the chance to compete for the Chinese Super League championship.
