Recently, the German Transfer Market published the latest market value ranking of Chinese players. Among the top ten, all are national team members, belonging to five major clubs in the Super League. Among them, two players from Shanghai Shenhua have entered the top three.
Ranking first is Wu Lei from Shanghai Port with a market value of 1.2 million euros. In the recently concluded season, Wu Lei scored 34 goals and won the Golden Boot. The 34 goals also set a record for the most goals in a single season in the Super League. Unfortunately, the Chinese men's football team still relies on Wu Lei to save face! Recently, in an interview with foreign media, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger's Italian foreign aid, Compagno, was asked which player in the Super League could enter the Serie A league. Compagno named only Wu Lei as suitable. Despite being 33 years old, Wu Lei is still highly regarded!
Ranking second and third are Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong from Shanghai Shenhua. Their market values are the same, both at 900,000 euros. Zhu Chenjie plays as a defender and is a mainstay for both the national team and the club. Jiang Shenglong can be considered a versatile player, capable of playing as a defender, midfielder, and even a center forward. Both of them will become important pillars for the national team in the coming period!
Ranking fourth is Zhang Yuning from Beijing Guoan Club with a market value of 850,000 euros. In the 18-strong match against the Indonesian men's football team and the Bahraini men's football team, Zhang Yuning scored consecutive goals. Especially in the away match against the Bahraini men's football team, Zhang Yuning scored the decisive goal! This season in the Super League, Zhang Yuning also helped Beijing Guoan Club finish fourth and qualify for the next season's AFC Champions League.
Ranking fifth is Wei Shihao from Chengdu Rongcheng with a market value of 800,000 euros. Wei Shihao has become more mature now! It is said that Ivankovic's ability to stay on as coach is not insignificant due to Wei Shihao. Wei Shihao communicates with his teammates in the locker room, urging everyone to resolutely execute the tactics laid out by Ivankovic. This season, Chengdu Rongcheng finished third in the league and qualified for the next season's AFC Champions League Elite Cup.
Ranking sixth is Jiang Guangtai from Shanghai Port with a market value of 750,000 euros. He is a naturalized player. He plays as a defender. In the past season, he helped Shanghai Port successfully defend their league title. Ranking seventh is Xie Weneng from Shandong Taishan with a market value of 650,000 euros. Xie Weneng's growth is obvious to see! It is rumored that in the new season, Xie Weneng may go abroad to play. Ranking eighth is Hu Hetao from Chengdu Rongcheng, ninth is Lin Liangming from Beijing Guoan, and tenth is Liu Yang from Shandong Taishan. The market values of the last three are all 600,000 euros.
Looking at this list of market values, the only thing that is reassuring is the younger age! Like Xie Weneng and Hu Hetao, they are young talents. Zhang Yuning, Zhu Chenjie, and others are in their prime. Only Wu Lei is over 30 years old. There is still great hope for the Chinese men's football team!
