The first transfer window for the 2025 Chinese Super League will be from January 6 to February 18, 2025. Although there are still 4 days before the window opens, 16 teams have basically determined most of their personnel acquisitions and departures, with only some foreign players needing to wait a bit longer.

  1. Shanghai Port

    As the defending champions, Shanghai Port currently has limited actions, but it is not ruled out that there will be major surprises in terms of foreign player acquisitions, especially since both "big kings" have left.


    Domestic Players: The team has signed national-level players such as Tao Qianglong and Tomorrow. The only departure is young player Li Shenyuan, who was loaned to Changchun Yatai last season.


    Foreign Players: It is well-known that Oscar, Bargas, and Citadini have left. The expected new foreign signings are likely to be Brazilian players.

  2. Shanghai Shenhua

    Shanghai Shenhua has set the goal of winning the championship for the new season, but their transfer moves are not significant, giving an impression of talking big with little investment. Fortunately, the team has a good age structure and strong bench depth.


    Domestic Players: No new players have been signed yet, as the domestic player reserves are sufficient. Departing players include retired Cao Yunding, contract-expired Wen Xiaojian, Jin Yangyang, Xu Yougang, and loaned-out Zhang Wei and Ma Zhen. Additionally, Xie Pengfei may also leave, though this is not yet confirmed.


    Foreign Players: Malele has left, and his replacement is the Serie B top scorer, Miracolo Meneiro (contract not yet signed).

  3. Chengdu Rongcheng

    Chengdu Rongcheng needs to strengthen its squad depth for the upcoming three-front campaign, and the team has a good appeal to players.


    Domestic Players: The team has signed national-level players like Han Pengfei, Liao Lisheng, Liu Dianzuo, and there are rumors of Xie Pengfei joining. Departing players who were once national-level include Yang Yiming, Yang Fan, Zhang Yan, and Geng Xiaofeng.


    Foreign Players: Blackwa Palacios will not renew his contract, and his replacement has not been determined yet, but is expected to come from the Korean K League.

  4. Beijing Guoan

    Beijing Guoan is ambitious for the new season, and over the past few seasons, Li Ming has almost gathered all the '97 National Youth Team players, who are the backbone of Chinese football. Additionally, the team has brought in the prestigious coach Setien, so Guoan is definitely aiming for big achievements this year.


    Domestic Players: The team is negotiating to sign a national-level central defender (possibly Wu Shaocong) and Serginho might join as a domestic player. Departing players include veterans such as Yu Dabao, Zhang Chengdong, Li Ke, Mamadou, and some young players like Ruan Qilong and Xiaoqiang.


    Foreign Players: Adenoro and Mamadou have left. The list of new foreign signings by Setien has been made, but the club needs to confirm it, including a defensive midfielder and an attacking player.

  5. Shandong Taishan

    Shandong Taishan is currently in a state of chaos, mainly due to the uncertainty of head coach Choi Kang-hee's position, and the team urgently needs to complete the transition between old and new players due to aging issues.


    Domestic Players: The team is not expected to sign any new players this season, as they cannot even use their own young players who have been trained. Departing players are mostly veterans and those who have been loaned out, such as Zhang Chi, Fernandinho, Duan Liuju, Qi Tianyu, Ji Xiang, Sun Guowen, Tong Lei, Song Long, Hu Jinghang, Han Rongze, Tian Xin, Yi Xianlong, He Xiaoke, Bi Jinhao, Li Guanxi, and Liao Lisheng.

Foreign Players: Pato has already announced his farewell, Marcel will also leave, and it is still uncertain whether Jadsun will renew his contract. There are no clear plans for new foreign signings yet.

  1. Tianjin Jinmen Tiger

    The team has lost four key players, which is quite damaging, and the team's investment is not large, only one hundred million yuan. However, with Yu Genwei at the helm, the team is expected to remain stable in the new season.


    Domestic Players: Confirmed signings include Sun Mingqian, and trial players Zhang Wei and Ruan Yang have also been recognized. Departing players include known names like Han Pengfei and Tomorrow, as well as young players Sun Xuelong, Zhang Xingliang, Xiao Junlong, and retired player Yu Yang. Additionally, Gao Huaze has not renewed his contract.

Foreign Players: Kongpanio, Shiglich, and Diogo have all left. The new defensive midfielder is likely to be Salvador from the Spanish second division, while the forward position is still undecided between two options.

  1. Zhejiang Team

    Zhejiang Team has successfully restructured its shares, and Zhejiang province places great importance on football, so the team is expected to be a dark horse in the new season.


    Domestic Players: Tong Lei is expected to join, along with young player Huo Shenping, and Sun Guowen remains with the team.


    Foreign Players: Leonardo will officially join the team.

  2. Henan Team

    Although Henan Team has successfully restructured its shares, the management issues from last season have not been resolved, so it is expected that the team will perform better than last season.


    Domestic Players: The team has signed national-level player He Chao and renowned player Zheng Haoqian, with Yang Mingyang also expected to join. Departing players include Li Songyi and Zhou Yuande.


    Foreign Players: Denici and Kovacic will not stay, and their replacements will be finalized soon.

  3. Changchun Yatai

    Due to various reasons, Yatai is now experiencing a decline year by year, unable to retain or attract good players. In the new season, Xie Hui will have to work hard to avoid relegation.


    Domestic Players: Only Sun Qinhan can join, with departing players including Wang Jinian, Zhang Yufeng, and Liu Yun.


    Foreign Players: Serginho and Zui have left, and new foreign signings have not been determined yet.

  4. Qingdao West Coast

    The team successfully avoided relegation last season thanks to the efforts of Zhao Jiayi, and he has a good network in the football circle. Currently, old friend Zhang Chengdong and young compatriot He Xiaoke are on trial with the team.

  5. Wuhan Three Towns

    The goal for the new season is simply to survive.


    Hubei native Wang Jinian returns, while saddened Liu Dianzuo, Tao Qianglong, Zhang Xiaobin, He Chao, and Liu Ruofan will all leave.

  6. Cangzhou Mighty Lions

    The team's fate is currently uncertain, but it is expected that they will likely pass the entry requirements.

  7. Qingdao Hainiu

    The biggest signing for next season is the head coach Li Xiaopeng. Departing players include Boakye, Diego, Radma, Zhong Jinbao, and Long Wei.

  8. Shenzhen New Pengcheng

    As a team with the backing of the City Group, they will definitely receive support in terms of foreign signings.


    Currently, Yang Yiming, Zhang Xiaobin, and Zhang Yufeng are expected to join, while departing players include Ruan Yang and Thiago.

  9. Yunnan Yulong

    As a promoted team with substantial financial resources, they are expected to make a significant impact in the new season.


    The signings that are basically confirmed include Oscar, Li Songyi, Ma Zhen, Ye ChuGui, and Sun Xuelong. Departing players include Mushegu, LabuYad, and Cao Haqing.

  10. Dalian Yingbo
