The winter transfer window for the Chinese Super League (CSL) has officially opened, providing teams with an excellent opportunity to strengthen their squads. Chengdu Rongcheng, for example, has successively brought in players such as Liao Lisheng, Han Pengfei, and Yuan Mincheng. The other three teams with AFC Champions League participation tasks have also made significant gains in the transfer market.
Shenhua has announced a major signing, successfully securing Brazilian forward Mineiro for a transfer fee of $950,000. This move undoubtedly injects new vitality into Shenhua's front line and raises fans' expectations for the team's performance in the new season.
In last season's CSL, Shanghai Shenhua only managed to secure the runner-up position. Many fans and media believe this was due to Marele's low goal-scoring efficiency, which caused the team to miss out on several matches they should have won. As a result, Shanghai Shenhua did not renew Marele's contract. It now appears that Slutsky has found a replacement for Marele.
Just recently, Shanghai Shenhua officially announced that they have successfully signed Brazilian forward Mineiro. According to previous media reports, Shanghai Shenhua not only sent a transfer fee of 950,000toCearaˊbutalsoofferedMineiroathree−yearcontractwithanannualsalaryexceeding1 million. The Brazilian striker scored 11 goals and provided 6 assists in 30 appearances after transferring from Yokohama FC to Ceará last season. Currently, Mineiro's market value on the German transfer market is 900,000 euros, which is 100,000 euros lower than Marele's.
Most people outside do not favor Shanghai Shenhua's decision to sign Mineiro. After all, whether it's his market value or goal-scoring efficiency, he falls short of Marele. There are also significant doubts about whether he can adapt to the CSL. Notably, Mineiro has suffered a serious Achilles tendon rupture and undergone heart surgery. His playing time for next season's three-line battle at Shenhua is indeed worrying.
After new coach Setien and new signing Serginho successfully joined Beijing Guoan, another piece of good news emerged. A well-known blogger "Steamed Koala_GuoAn" revealed that Chinese player Wu Shaoc, who previously played for Radomiak in the Polish Super League, has arrived in Haikou and completed his joining with the Guoan team. Subsequently, "Beijing Youth Daily Sports" confirmed this news, pointing out that the overseas national player Wu Shaoc has the hope to join Guoan.
It's worth mentioning that the latest training roster for the national team has just been released, and Wu Shaoc is included. The national team will officially gather in Haikou on January 9. Now that Wu Shaoc has already arrived in Haikou and met with Beijing Guoan, it seems that this overseas national player joining Beijing Guoan is almost a certainty.
It should be clear that since Guangzhou Team was relegated to the China League One, Wu Shaoc embarked on his overseas journey. During this period, he has traveled to several Turkish Super League clubs but has found it extremely difficult to secure playing opportunities. Last season, Wu Shaoc was loaned from Istanbul Basaksehir Club to Radomiak Club but still struggled to make official match appearances.
Given the current situation, it's not a bad decision for the 25-year-old Wu Shaoc to return to play in China at this time. If he can join Beijing Guoan, he will not only have the opportunity to play in matches but also help maintain his competitive form, thereby having the chance to continue being selected for the national team lineup. However, whether Wu Shaoc can successfully join Beijing Guoan ultimately depends on the official confirmation.
The Port team has started their winter training trip in Dubai, with both tomorrow and Liu Ruofan set to join the squad for this training. They will carry out a series of training arrangements in Dubai, hoping to further improve their state and abilities through this winter training and prepare adequately for subsequent events.
After Oscar and Bargas officially announced their departure, Shanghai Port welcomes a new season rebuilding opportunity. There has been no progress in foreign aid introduction at present, but in terms of domestic aid introduction, Shanghai Port has been quite smooth. Verified by multiple media outlets, tomorrow and Liu Ruofan, who played for Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Wuhan Three Towns last season respectively, have already joined Shanghai Port and will participate in the Dubai training camp with the team.
Everyone knows that Zhang Linpeng has gradually faded out of Shanghai Port's starting lineup, so the player joining tomorrow will fill this vacancy. Additionally, after Liu Ruofan joins Shanghai Port, he will serve as Wu Lei's substitute. It should be noted that Wu Lei was not selected for the latest national team roster, and there are media reports saying that it is uncertain when Wu Lei will recover from his injury, thus providing Liu Ruofan with an opportunity to prove himself...
