Under the leadership of head coach Yu Genwei, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers finished eighth in the league this season. Currently, Tianjin Jinmenhu FC is still under the supervision of Tianjin Sports Bureau. After the season, the Tianjin Sports Bureau and the club are preparing relevant materials to ensure that the club will be able to participate in the next season's Chinese Super League through the admission of the Football Association. Under the coordination of the Tianjin Sports Bureau, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers FC is likely to welcome a new financier. By obtaining financial support, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers FC may adopt a different strategy and bring in more powerful internal and external reinforcements to strengthen the squad. As a result, the club is likely to make lineup adjustments during this season's offseason.
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers outside back Beric is likely to leave the team, he has been playing for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers for the past two seasons and scored 14 goals in 56 games. Last season he was the team's top scorer. 32-year-old Beric's contract will expire at the end of the season, when he will enter the transfer market as a free agent. Slovenian First Division leader Čelje has reportedly expressed interest in signing Beric. Beric is likely to be the first foreign player to leave Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in the offseason.
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have once again launched a poaching operation to Beijing Guoan. Last season, they managed to sign midfielder Barton from Beijing Guoan. Barton played 30 games for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, scoring 4 goals and contributing 7 assists. Barton failed to be selected for Jankovic's national team to participate in the World Qualification Tournament, which made many fans feel regretful and confused. Tianjin Jinmen Tigers got a taste of it and are ready to poach from Beijing Guoan again this time. Yang Fan, a winger who is currently joining Tianjin Jinmen Tigers on loan, is likely to join Tianjin Jinmen Tigers after the end of the season, joining manager Yu Genwei. Yang Fan started his career in the youth training of Tianjin Songjiang FC, and quickly made a name for himself in the Tianjin team after his potential was realized during the coaching period of Dutch manager Strikers. Yang Fan's outstanding performance in Tianjin caught the attention of Beijing Guoan. In the era of gold-dollar soccer, Beijing Guoan offered a transfer fee of RMB 20 million plus Lei Tenglong in exchange for Yang Fan.
However, Yang Fan has not been able to find his place in the Tianjin school calendar since arriving at Beijing Guoan. He has seen very little playing time at Beijing Guoan and has returned to Tianjin Jinmen Tigers on loan to play in recent seasons. From the current situation, the rich and powerful Tianjin Jinmenhu intends to buy out Yang Fan and let him return to Tianjin Jinmenhu this season. The Beijing Guoan side has also agreed to this deal, and there are no obstacles hindering the buyout of Yang Fan.
