Currently, all teams have started their winter training preparations. For the double champion of last season, Shanghai Port still faces considerable pressure during this off-season due to the departure of two top-tier foreign players in the Chinese Super League (CSL), Oscar and Bargas. This has undoubtedly significantly reduced the team's strength. Therefore, during this off-season, Shanghai Port needs to strengthen its foreign player lineup. Although it is impossible to introduce players of the caliber of Oscar and Bargas again, it is still necessary to select players with good abilities. According to previous media reports, Shanghai Port's first signing has been confirmed as Matheus Vital, who is currently playing for Cruzeiro in the Brazilian league. His market value is as high as 2.5 million euros, and in the new season, Vital will become the successor to Oscar. However, Shanghai Port's pursuit of foreign players will not stop there. The team will continue to look for suitable foreign players. Recently, according to reports from Shanghai media, Shanghai Port's second signing is also on the horizon, with the team targeting Leonardo from Shandong Taishan. According to a self-media report from Shanghai, Shandong Taishan's foreign player Leonardo, who is valued at 4 million euros, is expected to join Shanghai Port in the new season, becoming the team's second new foreign player after other signings. Leonardo's performance at Taishan did not fully meet expectations, despite his certain abilities. He was never able to find the most suitable position within Taishan's tactical system. Therefore, news about Leonardo possibly leaving the team might not be entirely unexpected…

In the era of big-money football, transfer periods were always bustling with activity. However, things have now become somewhat quiet. In the past, a capable foreign player would be fiercely pursued by various clubs. Yet, it's surprising that the league's second-highest scorer is now struggling to find a new team! People often say that in a game or sport, everyone only remembers who the champion is or who came first. If you ask about the runner-up or second place, many people will just shake their heads. Who was the top scorer in the 2024 season? Fans are well aware that it was Wu Lei from the Shanghai Port, who scored 34 goals. But if you ask fans who was second on the scoring charts, most probably wouldn't know, except for fans of Zhejiang and some from Shandong Luneng. The second-place scorer in the 2024 Chinese Super League was Leonardo from Zhejiang, who scored a total of 21 goals, two of which were penalties, along with six assists. Leonardo's performance was truly remarkable. The more talented one is, the harder they work. During the off-season, Leonardo updated his social media with a photo of himself training, captioning it: "Always working hard!" From the photo Leonardo shared, you could clearly see him sweating profusely. Even though he was wearing clothes, his eight-pack abs were still visible. Logically speaking, such a hardworking and capable player should be sought after by many clubs. However, surprisingly, Leonardo still doesn't know where he'll be playing next season. Leonardo joined Shandong Luneng in 2021, at the end…

Zhejiang Team News: Foreign Aid Snatched by Bundesliga Team, Leonardo Not Signed, New Coach Already Confirmed The recent news about the Zhejiang team, a Chinese Super League club, has left fans somewhat puzzled. The team was close to signing Georgian forward Zivzivadze, who had performed exceptionally well in the German second division, but he was intercepted by Bundesliga side Heidenheim, leaving Zhejiang needing to find a new forward. Zivzivadze's impressive statistics in the German second division, particularly his performance at Karlsruher SC, had caught the attention of many clubs. Zhejiang was almost successful in securing him, but the sudden interest from a Bundesliga team put an end to the deal. Despite having four foreign players in their attacking line - Efraim, Ousmane, Frank, and Lucas - Zhejiang clearly needs a reliable goal-scoring forward to address this shortcoming. Leonardo could be a good option; during his loan spell at Zhejiang, he scored 36 goals and provided 12 assists in 54 games, which is quite commendable in the Chinese Super League. However, Leonardo's salary demands seem to be too high, and negotiations with Zhejiang have not progressed. Additionally, his contract with Shandong Taishan still has over a year left, so it may take some time to resolve this situation. Zhejiang has also recently lost two local players, Fan Jinming and Ning Fangze, who have both transferred to Dalian Kunlun, which will likely affect the team's overall strength. Currently, Zhejiang seems to be lacking something. Although they have four foreign players, they lack a consistent goal-scorer, which could be problematic if not addressed…
