Translation:
The domestic league transfer window is about to open, but many teams have already started operating new signings before that. Due to the departure of Oscar and Bargas, as well as the relegation of Nantong Zhiyun and Meizhou Hakka, the gap between teams in the new season of the Chinese Super League (CSL) will not be too big, so both relegation battles and championship pursuits will become quite fierce. Let's take a look at the recent transfer dynamics together.
Dalian's Five Foreign Players in Place
As a promoted team, Dalian Yingbo's primary task is to stay in the CSL, and as a city with a very hot football market, they are highly anticipated by fans. The team's recruitment has been carried out very early, and the five foreign player combinations have basically been determined. The mainstream configuration in the CSL is three forwards, one defensive midfielder, and one central defender. Dalian Yingbo's five foreign players are likely to be Kalanga, who is staying with the team, Malaye from Shanghai Shenhua, Labiade from Yunnan Yulong, Alimi, a Macedonian defensive midfielder, and Mamadou from Beijing Guoan.
Honestly, this foreign player lineup is already quite good, especially Malaye and Mamadou, who are considered top-tier foreign player configurations for mid-to-upper table teams, ensuring at least the lower limit for Dalian Yingbo. Kalanga is also a foreign player who has been tested in the CSL for many years. In addition to foreign players, Dalian Yingbo has also strengthened their domestic player lineup, including Cao Haiqing, Zhao Jianan, Cui Qi, Wang Chengkai, and Liu Yi. Compared to the fame of the foreign players, only Cui Qi among these domestic players may have some recognition. Currently, Dalian Yingbo is training in Haikou, and most of the new signings have arrived.
CSL Bids for Serie A Midfielder, Not Shandong Taishan
Foreign players are the most watched group in the CSL transfer window, especially those coming from the top five leagues, who can definitely attract the highest attention in today's CSL environment. According to Italian media reports, Serie A Parma midfielder Cyprian has received a bid from a CSL team and is about to play in the CSL. The name of a Serie A player is enough to attract the attention of fans, but this Cyprian is not considered a main player in the top five leagues, he can only be considered a fringe player, and he even played in the Serie B last season with Parma.
Cyprian did not play many games for Parma, having been with the team since 2020, but in nearly five years, he only made 37 appearances and scored two goals. This season, Cyprian's situation has become even worse, and he has not been included in the team's matchday squad since the third round of the Serie A. Now the French player has received a bid from a CSL team, and there was previously news that it was Taishan who wanted to sign him, but according to the latest news, the teams interested in signing him are Changchun Yatai, Yunnan Yulong, and Dalian Yingbo, with his valuation being 1 million euros.
