Introduction: In the past two years, Shanghai Shenhua has always been under the spotlight of fans' attention. Any news about new signings has caused a stir among the fans, with opinions ranging from support to opposition. Rumors about players leaving the team are also rampant, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and we have to wait for an official announcement. With New Year's Day approaching, there has been no news about domestic signings. Although Shenhua's local lineup appears complete, in reality, the top clubs tightly hold onto their promising young talents. We need to find a midfield general capable of changing the course of the game from the cracks. What kind of lineup will Shenhua present in the new season? Fans are anxiously waiting to see if Shenhua can play a winning hand in this limited situation or fall into mediocrity. Everything is uncertain, and only time will reveal the answer. Shanghai Shenhua has been a major focus for fans in recent years, especially when it comes to their signings each season, which always attract a lot of attention. For instance, when the Shenhua team reporter revealed that Minero would replace Marele, it immediately sparked discussions among many fans. There are supporters and opponents among the fans, after all, it's not the fans who are spending money, so they naturally prefer the club to hire more expensive players since they will be paying for tickets to watch the games. At the same time, rumors about Shenhua players leaving are everywhere, from Xie Pengfei to Ma Zhen, and…

In the 2024 season of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Shanghai Shenhua narrowly missed the championship by a mere one point, which was disappointing but also promising due to the potential shown by the team. Compared to their local rivals, Shanghai Port, Shenhua boasts a younger squad structure that lays a solid foundation for future development. This potential seems even more promising given the loss of Oscar and Balagas from Port! During the off-season, Shenhua embarked on a large-scale squad adjustment. The first move was to part ways with foreign player Malele, with the club posting a farewell letter on social media to thank the meritorious player for his contributions. This decision seemed to signal the start of the team's reorganization, followed by media reports that four players would be leaving the team. Among these four departing players, the most notable is goalkeeper Ma Zhen, who recently became engaged to Fan Zhiyi's daughter. Despite his contract not expiring until 2026, he chose to temporarily leave after only two appearances last season. It is reported that Ma Zhen will join the newly promoted Yunnan Yulong team on loan to seek more playing opportunities. Fernando's situation is somewhat awkward. The player, on loan from Shandong Luneng, has a contract that expires on December 31. Based on his performance in the 2024 season, the possibility of Shenhua renewing his contract is minimal. Worse still, with Cui Kangxi still coaching Shandong Luneng, his path back to his old club is blocked, forcing him to look for a new home. Dai Weijun, once seen as…

The current head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Ivan Kozlovic, is highly regarded by fans and the media. The main reasons for this are threefold. Firstly, he has extensive coaching experience and can bring advanced tactical concepts to the team. Secondly, he is adept at tapping into the potential of players, allowing each player to perform at their best. Lastly, he possesses excellent communication and leadership skills, capable of uniting the entire team. Firstly, the Chinese men's football team is performing well. In the Asian qualifying round of the World Cup Group C, the Chinese team is currently at the bottom of the table but only one point behind second-placed Australia. It seems that the Chinese team has a good chance of advancing to the top four of the group. If they work harder, as Ivan Kozlovic said, there is even a possibility of directly qualifying for the World Cup. Secondly, the Chinese men's football team used to be like a scattered mess, but now it has coalesced into a solid force! Especially in the first match of the 18-strong competition against the Japanese men's football team, fans who watched the live broadcast may have fallen into despair! On the field, the players had no coordination and failed to reach a consensus in their thinking. The outcome was naturally disastrous. However, when they faced the Japanese team again, the players' performance on the field was completely different. They were willing to sacrifice and take on more responsibilities for their teammates. At this point, the Chinese men's football team…

Introduction: The departure of Oscar has brought new variables to the Chinese Super League landscape, while Beijing Guoan has been quietly accumulating strength. A former Barcelona coaching team is about to take their positions, much like an experienced navigator boarding a ship, ready to lead the team through the waves. Lin Liangming is akin to a sharp blade on the domestic front line, shining with the afterglow of Real Madrid and already showing his potential. Naturalized player Serginho, rumored to be joining, is like a star waiting to shine, with his glorious record in the AFC Champions League as proof of his abilities. Two foreign player slots carry the hope of winning the championship, presenting both opportunity and challenge. Guoan is like a chess player making careful moves in the transfer market; will they win the title in the new season? With the departure of Shanghai Port's Oscar, players like Guga and Fabio from Beijing Guoan have seen their values rise into the top 10 in the Chinese Super League, especially with the addition of the rumored AFC MVP. As of December 26th, it seems that Beijing Guoan's lineup has become more formidable than other teams. They have a coaching team with a former Barcelona background. According to online reports, Setien and his three assistants will arrive in Beijing on January 3rd next year and officially lead the team in the second phase of winter training in Haikou on January 6th. At that time, the new coach and the foreign coaching staff will join the team. This coaching team includes…

Recently, a blogger on social media revealed that Zhou Jun, the former general manager of Shanghai Shenhua Club, is working as a real estate agent in West Asia! This news has sparked heated discussions among fans and media attention. For those who have been following the Chinese Super League for a long time, Zhou Jun, the general manager of Shanghai Shenhua Club, is no stranger. Zhou Jun can be considered a hero of Shanghai Shenhua Club. During his tenure, he helped the club win two FA Cup championships, leaving a significant mark in the history of Shenhua Club. Why did Zhou Jun go to West Asia to work as a real estate agent this time? The reason is the second round of anti-corruption efforts in Chinese football, in which Zhou Jun was involved! As the former general manager of Shanghai Shenhua, he can be described as a big fish! It now appears that he has fled! Unexpectedly, Zhou Jun also fell! The reason for Zhou Jun's involvement is said to be shady dealings in player transfers. In 2017, during several high-profile transfers, Zhou Jun made a lot of money. The players came to Shenhua, but their performance did not meet expectations, leading to doubts! And during this comprehensive football reform, Zhou Jun was exposed! However, Zhou Jun had planned ahead and fled to Spain. He then went to West Asia. Along with Zhou Jun's escape were some of his former subordinates. They are now all selling houses at a real estate company. However, their current living conditions are not good,…

Once Wu Lei left for La Liga's RCD Espanyol, he quickly became the focus of fans and media across China. Many fans even woke up in the middle of the night to watch Espanyol's matches just to catch a glimpse of Wu Lei's performance on the field. His goal against FC Barcelona, one of the giants of La Liga, sent the nation into a frenzy. However, since Wu Lei's return from Espanyol, no other Chinese player has appeared in either La Liga or the Segunda División. Now, a young Chinese talent has emerged in Spain with the potential to follow in Wu Lei's footsteps and join the Segunda División (second tier). Spanish media suggests that this young Chinese player is more suited to compete in the Segunda División than Wu Lei, as he possesses a stronger physique and superior heading ability, making him a more comprehensive player overall. In August of this year, the 19-year-old Du Yuezheng transferred from Póvoa de Varzim's youth team, which competes in the fifth tier of Portuguese football, to Marbella FC, a team in the third tier of Spanish football (Xijiajia). Initially, neither Spanish nor domestic media were optimistic about Du Yuezheng's prospects at Marbella, believing he would be a benchwarmer at best. However, after joining Marbella, Du Yuezheng has consistently been given playing opportunities in the Xijiajia league. On September 8th, in the third round of Group B of the 24-25 Xijiajia season, Du Yuezheng made his official debut for Marbella against Ceuta, coming on as a substitute in the 82nd minute and thus…

Al Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, has not won any titles since claiming the Arab Champions League title. With only the Saudi league and the AFC Champions League remaining this season, Al Nassr's hopes of winning the AFC Champions League are higher as they trail league leaders Al Ittihad Jeddah by 11 points. The club is upgrading its forward line to support Ronaldo in his quest for glory. A dream signing worth 40 million euros is being considered to replace Talisca and aim for the AFC Champions League title. On December 26th, according to Turkish journalist Yago Sabuncuoglu, Al Nassr is pursuing En-Nesyri from Fenerbahce. It is reported that Al Nassr has made an oral offer of 30 million euros, while Fenerbahce is asking for 40 million euros. Given Al Nassr's substantial financial resources and the small difference in transfer fees, it is highly likely that the club will sign this Moroccan international. Furthermore, Al Nassr and Fenerbahce are discussing another transfer, indicating a close relationship between the two clubs. According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the deal for Al Nassr forward Talisca to join Fenerbahce on loan has been completed, with the player joining until June next year and Fenerbahce covering part of Talisca's salary during the loan period. With Talisca moving to Fenerbahce, Al Nassr aims to sign En-Nesyri to strengthen their forward line, and this deal is very promising. En-Nesyri left Sevilla for Fenerbahce in the summer for a transfer fee of 19.5 million euros. Selling him at a higher price after half a season would…

Shanghai Shenhua has had a disappointing season in both the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup, failing to achieve the expected championship titles, which is a pity for many fans. As a result, the club is set to make adjustments, with head coach Sluyski putting players he deems surplus to requirements on the transfer market. Among them, Malele has already been officially announced by Shenhua as leaving the team. After being introduced to Shenhua in the 2023 season, Malele performed well. Whenever Shenhua found themselves in a deadlock during matches, Malele was always the first to step up and turn the tide. This earned him the title of Shenhua's top scorer and a new contract. However, his performance this season was not up to par, with missed opportunities in key games. Following Shenhua's lackluster season, Malele chose to leave the club. In addition to Malele, Dai Weijun, Xie Pengfei, Jin Yangyang, and Xu Yougang are also potential candidates to be placed directly on the transfer market. Dai Weijun joined Shenhua in the 2023 season but failed to deliver a convincing performance. Coach Sluyski did not give Dai Weijun much playing time after taking over as head coach. Therefore, Dai Weijun, in his prime, is unlikely to remain a substitute at Shenhua. Dai Weijun needs to find a team where he can secure regular playing time, a goal shared by Xie Pengfei. Xie Pengfei may join Chengdu Rongcheng and has already made contact with his potential new club. It should just be a matter of negotiating some transfer details before…

With the approach of the winter transfer window, transfer news continues to emerge. Generally speaking, the joy of joining a new team is often accompanied by news of departures. The Chinese Super League powerhouse Shandong Taishan has been experiencing a steady stream of goal-scoring news, but recently, departures have become the main trend. Previously, there were reports that the 31-year-old midfield core player Liao LiSheng would be transferring to another team. This news has now been confirmed by informed media sources. The national team player's next destination will be Chengdu Rongcheng, another strong team that secured 65 points this season and advanced to the top three rankings. With excellent team performance and stable operations, it naturally becomes an ideal choice for many players. Over the past three seasons, Liao LiSheng made 77 appearances for Taishan, contributing 7 goals and 7 assists. Although his statistics are not eye-catching, he has repeatedly made significant contributions in key matches. In the last two seasons alone, he played 31 and 32 games respectively, starting in 22 and 21 matches, making him an absolute first-choice player with high-quality contributions. Additionally, considering his position as a midfielder, Liao LiSheng's performance is commendable. It is not difficult to see why Liao LiSheng is leaving. On one hand, his contract has expired, and the player is seeking better development opportunities. Obviously, compared to Taishan, Rongcheng is on an upward trajectory with promising future prospects. On the other hand, due to the uncertainty of the Taishan coaching staff and various aspects still undecided, players will naturally seek stability, securing…

Do you know which team in the Chinese Super League has earned the most transfer fees from foreign clubs? Now, Oscar, who spent a record-breaking 60 million euros on transfer fees in the history of the Chinese Super League, has officially left the team without leaving any transfer fees, which also shows the weak position of the Chinese Super League in the world football transfer market to some extent. However, looking back at the history of the Chinese Super League, there are still some commendable transfer cases worth mentioning, and this cannot be mentioned without Guangzhou Team. Guangzhou Team's transfer fees for any recruitment have never been among the top three in the Chinese Super League, but it is undoubtedly the first in the history of the Chinese Super League in terms of making money by selling players. In so many years of professionalization of Chinese football, only 10 transfers have earned more than 4 million euros in transfer fees, but Guangzhou Team's three foreign players have earned 53.9 million euros, far exceeding any other team in the Chinese Super League, and no one has been able to surpass them to this day. This also proves once again from one side that Guangzhou Team was indeed the most influential club in Chinese football in the international football circle at that time. The first is Paulinho. At that time, Guangzhou Team spent 14 million euros to buy the Brazilian midfielder Paulinho, who was not satisfied with Tottenham Hotspur, but he quickly proved himself in the Chinese Super League and helped Guangzhou…
