Recently, according to domestic football insiders, Serie A midfielder Ciprian is expected to join the Chinese Super League, which has aroused great anticipation among many Shandong Luneng fans. Since Luneng lost Sun Zhunhao in the defensive midfield position, they have not found a suitable replacement. Therefore, Luneng fans have been hoping that the team will strengthen with an excellent foreign midfielder. Judging from Ciprian's skills and characteristics, he does seem quite suitable for Luneng.
Ciprian is a versatile player who can excel both offensively and defensively, capable of impeccable performances at the back and delivering precise passes going forward. As a result, he has gained the favor of Luneng fans. However, football journalist Miao Yuan revealed that Ciprian is not the new midfielder that TaiShan FC is interested in. Since Ciprian is not a hot candidate for Luneng's new signings, should Chengdu Rongcheng consider bringing him in?
Looking at Chengdu Rongcheng's squad strength, their midfield really lacks a tough foreigner like Ciprian. The team's central defense has always had issues with squad depth. To address this, Chengdu Rongcheng's head coach Xu Zhengyuan brought in Ma Jiang, which provided some relief. However, Ma Jiang is already a veteran player and his form is somewhat inconsistent.
In this situation, Chengdu Rongcheng could consider strengthening by bringing in Ciprian, which would immediately enhance their midfield. Ciprian was once a regular starter in Ligue 1 but became a substitute after moving to Serie A this season. Chengdu Rongcheng could seize this opportunity to strengthen by bringing in Ciprian. The template for Ciprian in the CSL should be Shenhua's midfielder Amadou.
Amadou was once a regular starter in Ligue 1 and performed well after joining Shenhua, becoming a key player for the team. The success of such a tough foreign midfielder at Shenhua makes it likely that Ciprian, also from Ligue 1, will become a big fish in the Chinese transfer market. It is hoped that Chengdu Rongcheng will make a move to bring in Ciprian and let him take on a leading role in the new season.
