In breaking news from Chinese soccer on July 25, journalist Feng Zhen released an update on the future of Shenzhen's Zhang Yuan. According to the report, Beijing Guoan could potentially sign Zhang Yuan before any other team, which would certainly be a positive sign for Beijing Guoan's manager Luis Suarez.
As we all know, the Shenzhen team is currently facing both internal and external troubles, and the problem of unpaid wages has lasted for 15 months. In this situation, several main players in the team are seeking to leave the team. Among them, captain Zhang Yuan has already obtained free agency and is favored by several clubs. After all, after Li Yuan left the team, Zhang Yuan not only became the team's main back, but also was appointed as the new captain of Shenzhen. There were rumors that Zhang Yuan was very close to Chengdu Rongcheng, but now it seems likely that he will bid farewell to Chengdu Rongcheng.
On the subject, Feng Zhen wrote: "There is some news suggesting that Guoan may intercept Zhang Yuan. However, it has not been finalized yet and both sides are doing their best to fight for it." Fengzhen also said at the same time that due to the successive injuries of Zhang Xizhe, Ji Zhongguo and Park Cheng, Li Ming personally sent an invitation to Zhang Yuan. Moreover, there is also news that Beijing Guoan's salary arrears issue has been completely resolved.
According to Feng Zhen's report, Beijing Guoan plans to block Zhang Yuan's transfer. However, Zhang Yuan has not yet made a final decision. Although the reporter did not disclose specific information, it is obvious that the influence of Chengdu Rongcheng, which is a newcomer to the Chinese Super League, is difficult to compare with Beijing Guoan. Therefore, the possibility of Zhang Yuan joining Beijing Guoan is very high. This situation is not only an exciting good news for Beijing Guoan, but also means that players such as Zhang Yuning and Zhang Xunzhe can rest assured. Fans have also praised this.
One fan said: "I hope Zhang Yuan can go to Chengdu Rongcheng, which currently lacks players in the back position. Beijing Guoan's back-row staff is only temporarily lacking, and the competition will be fierce when they recover from injuries. Chengdu's back Zhou Dingyang is slightly stronger, but is more of a defensive player, while a player like Zhang Yuan is good at attacking and organizing, and can also shoot from a distance, going to Chengdu Rongcheng will be like a fish out of water!"
Another fan said, "What's the point of going to Guodian? Guoan already has a lot of people in the midfield, going there will only make you a water cooler keeper, if it's just for the money you can go, but it's of no value at the playing level!"
Of course there are fans who say this, "Choose to go to Beijing Guoan! The platform there is better and the attention is higher. Besides, Zhang Xizhe, Ji Zhongguo, and Park Chengdu are all getting older, and Li Ke is too prone to injury. Also, Zhang Yuan is more capable than Gao Tianyi. There's no need to even think about the position, so he should go to Guoan!" "Li Ming is now grabbing people from Chengdu Rongcheng, this strategy is very correct. Rongcheng and Taishan are the two main competitors for Guoan to qualify for the AFC Champions League, so we have to sign Zhang Yuan!"
