Beijing Guoan has performed averagely in this season's Chinese Super League (CSL) and the FA Cup, failing to achieve their desired results. As a result, after comprehensive consideration, the club decided to part ways with their head coach, Suarez. Additionally, Guoan has brought in the capable Setien to take over as head coach, hoping he can lead the team to success. Setien's appointment as Guoan's head coach has generated significant anticipation among fans, given his extensive experience coaching in La Liga.
Setien's move to the CSL is seen as a step down in competition. Moreover, following his appointment as Guoan's head coach, Setien will be fully responsible for the team's recruitment efforts. Among the potential new signings is forward, Bakambu, who currently plays for Real Betis. Guoan has parted ways with Adelaro, their foreign forward, who failed to live up to expectations after joining the team. This was surprising to many fans, considering Adelaro's impressive career record, including a top scorer performance in the Swedish Super League. Unfortunately, Adelaro became an underperformer and injury-prone player at Guoan, often needing to rest after playing just three games, becoming a high-paid burden for the club.
Guoan's decision to release Adelaro early was met with joy from many fans. The club now seeks to strengthen their foreign forward position with a capable player, making Bakambu a hot prospect on their recruitment list. Bakambu previously played for Guoan during the heyday of the "Gold Football" era in the CSL, becoming the team's top scorer.
During critical moments in matches, Bakambu consistently stepped up to save the day for Guoan, earning him the title of the team's best striker. A forward of Bakambu's caliber is a big name in today's CSL transfer market, even causing Shandong Luneng to feel uneasy. It is hoped that Guoan's head coach, Setien, will consider bringing in Bakambu to bolster the frontline, and it is believed that this foreign player's performance in the CSL will not disappoint the fans.
