The second transfer market of the Chinese Super League will be officially opened on July 1, and all teams are seizing this rare opportunity to adjust their lineups in order to fully prepare for the next stage of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League. According to Li Xuan, a well-known domestic soccer media source, Brazilian foreign aid Lennardo, who is currently playing for Changchun Yatai, is likely to leave Changchun Yatai. After being loaned to Changchun Yatai by Shandong Taishan, Lennardo entered 10 goals to lead the Chinese Super League's top scorer list after the first 13 rounds of the league. Lennardo joined Shandong Taishan to be loaned to play for Hebei, Ulsan Hyundai, and Changchun Yatai, and Lennardo has beaten the Taishan management with his efficient performance this season. After the news of Lennardo's departure from the team, many fans and media speculated that he is likely to be recalled to Shandong Taishan by Choi Kang-hee.
Coincidentally, in the 13th round of the Chinese Super League, Changchun Asia Pacific and Shandong Taishan met narrowly and Lennardo was unable to represent Changchun Yatai because of the recusal clause. But in the pre-match press conference between Changchun Yatai and Shandong Taishan, when asked if Lennardo would return to Shandong Taishan, Cui Kangxi denied it. Cui Kangxi said, Lennardo will not return to Shandong Taishan this year, Taishan's foreign aid introduction is underway. Taishan will prioritize the introduction of Asian foreign aid, replacing Sun Junhao on behalf of Shandong Taishan to participate in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League. According to the blogger "Zhejiang Intelligence Group" microblogging reports, left Yatai Lennardo will join Zhejiang. The news has also been confirmed by Zhejiang reporter Xu Yi, who said that Lennardo, who left Changchun Yatai, will continue to join another Chinese Super League team, Zhejiang, on loan.
Zhejiang is said to have brought in Lennardo in order to make a breakthrough in the next stage of qualification for the Chinese Super League and the Asian Champions League. To make room for Lennardo, Zhejiang will likely send Evolo away, with injured foreigners Frank and Lucas staying with the team. Taishan will likely take Lennardo on loan. After bidding farewell to Changchun Yatai, Lennardo will move to Zhejiang for this year's AFC Champions League qualifying round. Zhejiang hopes to utilize Lennardo's impact and efficient goal-scoring efficiency to help Zhejiang successfully get a ticket to the AFC Champions League group stage. It should be said that this deal is a win-win for both Zhejiang and Taishan. Through this deal, Zhejiang strengthened the team's forward line and prepared well for the next stage of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League qualification, and Taishan could also utilize the money from the loan of Lennardo's signing. Losing Lennardo deprives Changchun Yatai of a lethal finishing point on the offensive end, which will likely lead to a decline in Changchun Yatai's performance in the next phase of the Chinese Super League.
Lennardo, who arrives in Zhejiang, will also be looking to help the Chinese Super League side, who are once again in the AFC Champions League, secure a ticket to the AFC Champions League. Lennardo is also looking to maintain his good form and make an impact on the Golden Boot team in the Chinese Super League. He himself is looking forward to conquering his new bosses with a good performance as Zhejiang officially ends his long loan spell, bidding farewell to Shandong Taishan and officially becoming a member of the Zhejiang squad.
