Beijing Guoan has officially announced that Shenzhen player Zhang Yuan has joined the team, and the midfielder has said goodbye to Shenzhen Football Club via social media.
Zhang Yuan said: "I hoped to dedicate a more complete career to the club and I fought until the last moment. Unfortunately, however, my heart tells me that I can no longer continue to accompany it on its journey... In the past three years, I have worked with many outstanding foreign coaches and foreign aiders in Shenzhen and met many legendary domestic seniors, which has been a great honor and a rewarding experience for me.
I was just a U23 player when I came here, and I've become a young lad when I left. I'm very grateful to the Shenzhen club for training me. When I return to Shenzhen one day, I will remember all my teammates and staff, they are like my family, we have spent three years together. When I go back to the Grand Olympic Center, I will definitely remember the tolerance and chants of the fans, and remember that I used to be the owner of this place, thank you very much! I wish this season Shenzhen can be relegated and successfully carry out the share reform, Shenzhen should have a Chinese Super League team!
Zhang Yuan is a 26-year-old player. He joined the Shenzhen team in 2020. This season, as a midfielder, he played 15 matches for the team in the Chinese Super League, scoring 2 goals and assisting 2 times. He will wear the No. 21 jersey since joining Guoan.
