The variables are Fellaini and Jadson, Fellaini's form declined very badly last season, with poor attendance, 28 appearances, only 16 starts, rarely playing a full game, 7 goals and 2 assists, in some key matches Fellaini hardly played too well, and at 36 years of age, Fellaini's future form remains a concern.
According to Belgian media reports, Fellaini is planning to leave the Chinese Super League this winter and the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are already interested in him, but Europe is not. Fellaini still has a two-year contract with Taishan, which is relatively large, and he would need to pay a lot of liquidated damages to terminate it. If a team is willing to pay a transfer fee, this is certainly a good option. If Fellaini stays with the team, the adjustment space for Taishan's foreign aid will become very small.
Jadson was injured and didn't have great attendance last season, making only 19 appearances with 1 goal and 1 assist. Jadson was injured multiple times in the 2022 season and almost became a glass man, which is a hidden danger. After all, the Taishan team is going to play on three fronts next season, and Jadson has the possibility of adjustment.
Lennardo made 34 appearances on loan to Ulsan Hyundai this season, including 22 starts, scoring 11 goals and 4 assists, a great performance that helped the team win the K-League title, but Ulsan Hyundai has decided not to renew Lennardo's loan, so if Taesan doesn't recall him, they will just have to find a suitable home for Lennardo.
Delgado was loaned to Chinese League One player Kunshan FC in the middle of last season, and will continue to be loaned to other teams next season in order to help the team succeed in surpassing and winning the Chinese First Division title. As the only naturalized player currently playing in China, he is also the only player who could potentially play for the national football team in the future. The CFA's determination of Little's status is completely incomprehensible. Under the current rules, Xiaode will not be granted local player status until the 2024 season at the earliest.
