Although the Chinese Super League (CSL) winter transfer window has not yet officially opened, most CSL clubs have already taken action in the transfer market. After the transfer market officially opens, the Chinese Super League clubs will officially announce new recruits one after another. Last season's FA Cup and league double champion Shandong Taishan is the earliest team in the transfer market of the Chinese Super League. Unlike other Chinese Super League teams, Shandong Taishan currently has the task of the Asian Championship. According to the schedule, Shandong Taishan will face Japanese J-League team Kawasaki Vanguard in the first round of the AFC Champions League knockout round on February 13th. In order to play well in the AFC Champions League knockout round, Shandong Taishan quickly finalized two new foreign aiders, Zeca and Zakayishvili. Dollar signed Shenhua veteran Bi Jinhao Taishan veteran Gao Zhunyi, expected to return for free in the offseason.
Meanwhile, head coach Cui Kangxi will also make appropriate adjustments to Taishan's lineup, and some players who were in Shandong Taishan will be swept away by Cui Kangxi. According to Shandong local media reports, Duan Liuyu, an excellent midfielder who joined Wuhan Sanzhen on loan last season, is likely to return to Shandong Taishan after the expiration of his lease contract. Duan Liuyu, a player trained in Shandong Luneng's youth training system, is a rare highly educated player in Chinese soccer. Duan Liuyu stood out during the coaching period of former Taishan coach Li Xiaopeng, and was loved by Li because of his expertise in cerebral kicking. However, after Li Xiaopeng's departure, Duan Liuyu gradually faded out of the main lineup of Taishan.
It is reported that Duan, who returned to Shandong Taishan, is likely to be loaned by the club to play for other teams. It is reported that Changchun Yatai recently made an offer to Taishan FC to bring in Duan. Last season, Changchun Yatai got the wing Cao Yongsheng on loan from Beijing Guoan.

Cao Yongsheng, who performed well in Changchun Yatai, has been recalled by Beijing Guoan and is following them in their training preparations for the new season. Next season, Cao Yongsheng is expected to bid farewell to Yatai and return to his old boss Beijing Guoan. Changchun Yatai, who lost Cao Yongjing, hopes to bring in a good student section as Cao Yongsheng's replacement.
For Duan Liuyu, if he stays in Shandong Taishan, he can only sit on the bench. Joining Changchun Yatai will give him more playing time and help him regain his form. If he can find his form like Cao Yongsheng, who joined Changchun Yatai on loan last season, Duan Liuyu will be able to find a suitable next home in the Chinese Super League in the future and continue his career, or even return to his old boss, Shandong Taishan.
