Recently, according to the latest report from Brazilian media diariodonordeste, the forward of Ceará Club, Shaluo Mineluo, who was previously targeted by Shanghai Shenhua, is likely to be intercepted by his city rival Shanghai Port.
It is reported that this attacking player, who has performed outstandingly in the Brazilian league, is currently very close to joining the reigning Chinese Super League champion Shanghai Port, and both sides are currently working closely to finalize the final transfer details. Once the news came out, it immediately aroused widespread attention from domestic football media and fans. After all, in the current Chinese Super League transfer market, being able to attract a foreign forward like Shaluo Mineluo with immediate combat effectiveness is undoubtedly a great addition to the team's strength.
It is worth mentioning that before this, many domestic media have already reported that Shaluo Mineluo will be the new aid of another Chinese Super League powerhouse, Shanghai Shenhua, and even rumors have spread that the transfer fee has reached 950,000 euros, and the joining matters have been "basically settled". For a time, the issue of Mineluo's ownership has become a hot topic among fans.
Shanghai Shenhua, as a traditional strong team in the Chinese Super League, although it has not met the expectations of fans in terms of results in recent years, it has always maintained a high level in terms of recruitment. Especially in the selection of foreign players, Shenhua can always recognize the right person and introduce some players who shine on the Chinese Super League stage. Therefore, when Shaluo Mineluo's name was linked with Shenhua, many fans were full of expectations. After all, an attacker who can stand out in the Brazilian league will undoubtedly have more room to play after coming to the Chinese Super League.
Who would have thought that just as Shenhua fans were eagerly looking forward to Mineluo wearing the Shenhua jersey to compete in the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Port suddenly intervened and included the Brazilian forward in their recruitment list. This sudden change not only caught Shenhua fans off guard but also plunged the entire Chinese Super League transfer market into chaos.
We know that as city rivals, the relationship between Shanghai Port and Shenhua is already complicated, and this transfer turmoil involving Mineluo has further worsened the relationship between the two teams. For Port, the introduction of Shaluo Mineluo is undoubtedly an important recruitment decision. After the departure of three major aces, Port urgently needs to enhance the team's combat effectiveness by introducing strong reinforcements to meet the challenges of the new season. The addition of Mineluo will undoubtedly inject new vitality into Port's attack line. This Brazilian forward not only possesses excellent speed and breakthrough ability but also demonstrates remarkable skills in shooting and passing. His arrival will undoubtedly give Port more choices and changes in the offensive end.
However, for Shenhua, Mineluo's sudden "defection" is undoubtedly a heavy blow. Losing the desired foreign aid in the transfer market not only means that the team's efforts in recruitment have gone in vain but may also affect the team's preparations and morale for the new season. Especially under the increasingly fierce competition in the current Chinese Super League, any team hopes to enhance its strength by introducing strong reinforcements. Shenhua's failure in the battle for Mineluo undoubtedly puts them at a relatively disadvantageous position in the competition of the new season. However, the winter window has not officially started yet, leaving many opportunities for Shenhua's recruitment. In the coming days, perhaps Shenhua can find a better foreign aid than Mineluo.
