The Chinese Super League (CSL) has recently acquired three new foreign players for a combined transfer fee of only 800,000 euros, a price that would have been unimaginable just eight years ago. The current state of the CSL finds itself at its lowest point, with teams striving to save money on foreign players. During the new season's transfer window, agents predicted that most foreign players' market values would not exceed 1 million euros. As expected, the latest revelation is that the three confirmed foreign signings by the CSL all had their transfer fees paid, but the total cost was just 800,000 euros, a stark contrast to the tens of millions of euros spent on a single foreign player during the golden era of football. Among these three newly acquired foreign players, the cheapest is Nelson Lus, who was bought out by Qingdao West Coast. Last season, Qingdao West Coast borrowed him from Portuguese club GIMARAES, and he proved to be quite useful, scoring 5 goals and providing 5 assists. What's key is his high attendance rate, and he is young at only 26 years old. Qingdao West Coast spent 200,000 euros this time to directly buy him out, and his current market value is as high as 750,000 euros, so this deal directly made a profit of 550,000 euros. The second cheapest is Salvador, the new foreign player for Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. This midfielder from the Spanish second division has a market value of 800,000 euros, but Tianjin Jinmen Tiger initially offered 300,000 euros and later bargained down another 50,000…

The winter transfer window for the Chinese Super League (CSL) is about to open, and Beijing Guoan has made a "big move" in anticipation. Last season, under the leadership of Portuguese coach Suarez, Guoan finished fourth in the league, missing out on the AFC Champions League, and was left behind by the top two teams, Shanghai Port and Shanghai Shenhua, causing concern among the club's management. At this critical juncture, changing coaches became inevitable. Setien, who once coached Barcelona, quickly took office. Upon his arrival, he demonstrated a bold style, putting five players, including Yu Dabao and Li Ke, on the list for transfer, which sparked heated discussions among fans. Among those being transferred, captain Yu Dabao is a meritorious veteran with a glorious record. In the 2024 season, he played 16 times, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist. Versatile enough to play as both a forward and center-back, he is known as the team's "jack-of-all-trades," ready to fill any position needed. Everyone had hoped he would retire peacefully at Guoan, but after his contract expired, he was let go by the new coach, and there are even rumors that he might retire. Fans are reluctant to see him go, and the topic "Saving Yu Dabao's Career" has gained significant online attention. They reminisce about his past highlights, such as his passionate celebrations after scoring decisive goals, which remain unforgettable to this day. Zhang Chengdong, on the other hand, played 12 games last season with less impressive statistics, but his fighting spirit on the field was evident to all.…

The author will introduce in detail the team's adjustment plan for the squad during the winter transfer window, following the order of positions, for the fans of Beijing Guoan. There will be no changes in the goalkeeper position: five players will be retained. The 24-year-old international Han Jiaqi remains the main player, veteran Hou Sen is responsible for the bottom line, and three 20-year-old young players Zheng Tuoluo, Yao Boqing, and Nueraili continue to be cultivated. Adjustments in the defensive line: 3 players leaving, 2 completing contract renewals. The departing players are 34-year-old veteran Zhang Chengdong, 35-year-old veteran Yu Dabao, and foreign aid Mamadou. The reason for Zhang Chengdong and Yu Dabao's departure is simple; they are too old, and Beijing Guoan currently needs to complete the transition between the old and new. The former is expected to join Qingdao West Coast next season, while the latter is more likely to settle into the coaching staff of Guoan. Mamadou has enough ability, but Guoan will focus on possession and ground play next season, so it is necessary to strengthen the midfield strength. Naturally, one of the two foreign aid spots in the defense must be released, and Mamadou, whose contract has expired, had to be let go first. At the same time, to ensure the stability of the defense, it is boldly speculated that Guoan will extend an olive branch to national-level defenders in the free market. The successfully renewed players are 34-year-old full-back Wang Gang and 25-year-old central defender Bai Yang. These two renewals feel like the operation of…

On the morning of December 28th, Beijing time, the latest transfer news from the Chinese Super League (CSL) during the off-season has been reported. Teams such as Beijing Guoan, Dalian Yibo, and Qingdao West Coast have all made new moves. Recent Spanish media reports suggest that Villar could return to Guoan. There have been contacts between the two sides, but no conclusion has been reached yet.

The former international player is currently 35 years old. He was the first Chinese player to play in La Liga.

In addition, there have also been recent media reports that He Xiaoke, formerly of Shandong Taishan, is currently training with Qingdao West Coast for the winter. These two signings are good news for Qingdao West Coast's relegation task next season. Dalian Yibo, newly promoted to the CSL, has recently made strong moves in the transfer market. According to the revelation of the CSL Watcher, the young owner of Dalian Yibo Club announced that they are about to sign Ma Lailai, the former Shanghai Shenhua player. If this powerful foreign aid can be finalized, it…

Beijing Guoan's new season personnel adjustments will follow two principles. Principle one: Stick to the old rules and strengthen the lineup with the goal of winning the championship. Principle two: The characteristics of new recruits should match the coaching style of head coach Setien, which is to play ground-based football.

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…
