After three years, Beijing Guoan will no longer be chasing league results as it did in the first two seasons.
As a result, Guoan will make a lot of moves in the player market this year. Apart from signing former Taishan's popular international striker Fang Hao and Brazilian back-rower De Souza, the club will also bring in a number of new recruits in the winter window.
According to a Guoan team reporter, Guoan will sign at least two new foreign aiders this season to strengthen the team's center and backfield. So doesn't Guoan need to bring in new assistance for their forward line? Maybe not foreign aid, but I believe local players should still be available. A recent social media post by a domestic soccer blogger seems to confirm this.
The blogger said that he had read about Guoan and Lin Liangming before. While Dalian don't want to let go, there has been contact between the two sides and it's hard to say what the specifics are.
As we all know, Dalian is having a harder time this season than last season. Due to too many accounts owed in the past, the financial pressure on the club is very high this year. The club's transfer ban has not yet been lifted as the issue of salary arrears has not been fully resolved.
According to a Dalian soccer reporter, in order to ease the club's financial pressure, the Dalianese are likely to sell several of the team's key players, including Sun Guowen and Lin Liangming, who are under contract with the club.
Currently, Sun Guowen has begun a trial with Shandong Taishan, and it would not be surprising if he officially joins the Taishan team in the new season. For this reason, Sun Guowen has not only given up his outstanding salary from his previous team, but Taishan FC can also pay compensation to Dalian People's Club. Lin Liangming will likely leave Dalian People in the winter transfer window just like Sun Guowen. Recently, several clubs have been involved with Lin Liangming.
Lin Liangming, 25, is a high-quality player trained by the Guangzhou Football Association. He became famous at a young age. He was selected for the National Youth, National Olympic and National teams at all age groups.In 2011, Guangzhou Allsvenskan was acquired by Guangzhou R&F and Lin Liangming and his teammates joined the R&F team.
However, Lin Liangming did not represent R&F in the Chinese Super League.In 2015, at the age of 18, Lin Liangming was hit by Real Madrid, joining the La Liga giants club for a transfer value of 300,000 euros. After joining Real Madrid, Lin Liangming didn't stay in the team for long and was later loaned out to Almeria in the Liga B.
Due to a lack of success in Europe, Lin Liangming returned to China to join Dalian in 2020. Due to injuries, Lin Liangming did not get much playing time in the league in his first season with Dalian. Since the 2021 season, he has gradually become a mainstay of the team's front line.
Last season, Lin Liangming was reused by new coach Xie Hui and became the centerpiece of Dalian's offensive line. After one season, he scored 12 goals and 6 assists, and was second on the local scorers list in league goals after Zhang Yuning of Guoan.
Although Lin Liangming has become an absolute mainstay of the Dalian team, the club is finding it difficult to keep him due to an extreme shortage of funds. This has given Guoan a great opportunity to sign the popular international player. Lin Liangming plays as a left and right winger on the field, and can also play in a number of forward positions such as center forward, shadow forward, and forward. These characteristics will help enrich Guoan's tactical play.
If Guoan can bring in Lin Liangming in the winter window, then the domestic trident of Fang Hao, Zhang Yuning and Lin Liangming can appear in the team's front field. Such a luxurious combination of strikers would make Guoan the favorites to win the Chinese Super League again in the new season!
