Bargas bids farewell on social media: "The two and a half years of beautiful life in Shanghai have come to an end, thank you Harbor for the love you've given me."
In the Chinese Super League (CSL), few foreign players are able to leave with a transfer fee; most leave as free agents.
Thank you 86, he will definitely come back!
Who will be the biggest-name foreign player next season? Who will be the biggest-name foreign coach?
Kreisang and Cui Kangxi siblings?
This is a big oversight. Last season, there were issues with the coach and poor performance, but this season's outstanding performance should have led to an early renewal six months ago.
The top salary budget was reserved for Oscar, but in the end, we were outmaneuvered, and we lost both.
The top salary can only be 3 million euros before tax, while Saudi Arabia offers 6 million euros after tax.
The pre-tax 3 million is far less than other offers, and there may also be signing fees over there. We're all just workers; who would pass up money?
Sorry Bargas, once certain keywords trigger, you're no longer the main character.
Li Shenyuan announces his departure: "A brief farewell after ten years, thank you Harbor Club for your training."
Previously, Li Shenyuan served Harbor for a long time. Last season, he joined Changchun Yatai on loan, playing 27 games with 24 starts and contributing one assist.
He was really given many opportunities, but he couldn't perform, and he truly lacks solid skills.
This year, in addition to winning the CSL championship again, Harbor achieved the dream of winning the FA Cup.
Is it difficult to go from luxury to frugality? We still need to work hard in the AFC Champions League.
Aiming for a three-peat in 2025 is quite challenging. We're used to fighting with wealth, but our foundation is still there. Believing in Guang Langtou, if we get a couple of outstanding foreign players, we might still be able to compete.
Realistically, next year we need to focus on cultivating new talent and determining tactics. If we're in the top five next year, we'll take over, aiming for two league championships in the next five years.
According to Brazilian media, Oscar is the second richest active Brazilian player, with a total wealth of 1.2 billion RMB.
Their achievements in football don't match those of their predecessors, the samba superstars. However, due to the good times, they far surpass their Brazilian predecessors in terms of earnings.
Horse: I know nothing about money, I just know how to lie down.
Just behind Neymar, that's quite impressive. It shows that Chinese football is nurturing people.
As a man, you either seek fame or profit; Oscar is also a winner in life.
Isn't Hulk the highest earner? He only focused on money and left the CSL a few years early.
It's very high, 4.23 million euros. Even if it's before tax, it's much more than the 3 million before tax in the CSL. The Chinese tax rate is 45%, so you only get 1.65 million. The gap is too big. And it's also returning to one's roots.
Having played in the CSL for so many years, and now at 33 years old, this salary seems like a risky decision for Sao Paulo.
Salary is salary; I've never seen it calculated together with a signing fee.
Impressive. No matter where he goes, he's always among the top earners, a real winner in life.
Gradually, he'll be forgotten. Going back to Brazil isn't worth it. Actually, learn from Stephon Marbury. It's great to stay in Shanghai until retirement! There's a chance to get a green card, which could be beneficial for future youth training or starting a company.
A salary of over 3 million euros in the Brazilian league is already considered high, so why do many people still think that after domestic salary restrictions, we can't attract good foreign players based on salary levels?
The domestic tax rate is a bit high. It's uncertain in Brazil, but someone previously explained that it's 20%, meaning you can take home around 3 million. In China, the pre-tax amount is 3 million, but after tax, it's only 1.65 million—just half of what they get. Serie A is not doing well economically, but many veterans are willing to go because Serie A has policies where certain conditions mean wages are tax-free, significantly increasing the actual take-home pay.
Football has a principle of retiring at 35. If you have average talent and a bumpy career, you won't earn much money, and soon after retiring, you'll be struggling financially. This is one of the reasons why parents are reluctant to send their children into professional football.
It's not just about making money; playing football also coincided with a good era. In the past, Neymar would at most be a national team substitute, and Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't have achieved such greatness! Back then, the defensive intensity was two levels higher than it is now, and talent was exploding!
In the past, players averaged only six to seven kilometers of running, and many teams didn't even have the concept of coordinated defense. There were only a few compilations of "rough" defenses, leaving you with the simple impression that defenses were better in the past.
Highest-paid within the team! Oscar shares his Saint Paul photoshoot: "New challenges for the New Year, ready to go."
Definitely a top-level career planner, OSCAR is a true winner in life.
His abilities are absolutely stronger than any current Manchester United player.
Going to the top five leagues would only land him at a mid-to-lower table team, which would be useless. It's better to go home, where the salary is about the same.
Shenhua vs. Harbor! The Football Association officially announces: The 2025 Super Cup will be held at 19:35 on February 7th in Kunshan.
Suzhou Kunshan Olympic Sports Center was built to FIFA standards under the opportunity of China hosting the Asian Cup. It is the only international first-class professional football field in Jiangsu province that meets FIFA competition requirements and is also the first professional football field in Suzhou, capable of accommodating about 40,000 people.
Shenhua and Harbor: So close! With this arrangement, we can still go home to sleep after the game.
These two teams just can't stop clashing.
