The rear waist is about to arrive, with Shandong Taishan offering 1 million euros, a talent cultivated by Luneng Brazilian Sports.
Currently, Shandong Taishan is still on vacation, but the team will soon reconvene to start their winter training. During this off-season, fans are still looking forward to Taishan strengthening their lineup, especially in terms of foreign players, hoping for some surprises. Last season, Taishan suffered significantly in the foreign player department, so if they want to achieve anything in the new season, they must strengthen their foreign player roster.
Last season, Taishan exposed their midfield shortcomings after Moises left. They lacked a core player in the defensive midfield position. However, recently, good news has finally come for Taishan. According to Brazilian media reports, Shandong Taishan Football Club has submitted an offer of up to 1 million US dollars to a club in the Brazilian Serie A league, aiming to introduce their defensive midfielder - Guilherme Miranda Madruga Gomes, the winner of the 2023 Puskás Award.
Madruga was born in 2000 and stands at 1.91 meters tall. He plays as a midfielder on the field, possessing excellent physical qualities and outstanding football talent. Moreover, he is an outstanding player cultivated by Luneng Brazilian Sports. As early as 2017, he was discovered by Luneng Brazilian Sports Club and joined their youth team. While in the youth team, Madruga participated in multiple events, notably, he also followed the team to participate in the 2018 Weifang Cup.
During the Weifang Cup, he was rated as one of the best players due to his outstanding performance, and he even received praise from stars like Moises and Fellaini. Madruga also took photos with them. In 2023, he was loaned to Botafogo SP and scored a stunning overhead kick from outside the penalty area in a match against Novorizontino, earning him the 2023 Puskás Award and making him a household name.
Madruga's speed and dribbling ability make opponents wary, and his excellent ball control and passing skills make him a key force in the team's attack. In matches, he always creates countless opportunities with his impressive dribbling moves, contributing significantly to the team's victories. For Shandong Taishan, if Madruga can join, it will effectively solve the team's defensive midfield weakness. It is reported that the Brazilian Serie A team is seriously considering this offer and may engage in further negotiations with Taishan, which undoubtedly adds more possibilities for Madruga's joining.
