With the revelation of Portuguese Premier League Santa Clara midfielder Lincoln in the Brazilian media, Taishan player Moises has spoken out for the first time on where he will be going in the new season. He revealed that Taishan are interested in extending his contract but he is assessing the feasibility of the offer. It was reported that recalling Moises was part of Taishan's stated plan. However, since he only has four months left on his contract and may have trouble registering for the new season, Taishan wants Moises to extend his contract for at least half a year, and may even sign a new "0.5+1" contract. This week, the two sides have had in-depth discussions on this issue.
Given the short term of his contract with Shandong Taishan and his location in faraway South America, Moises could have bid farewell to the Chinese Super League. In fact, both Gremio of Barclays Premier League and Botafogo of Barclays Premier League have shown interest in him, especially Gremio's head coach Roger Machado, who wants to bring the former Palmeiras teammate to his team. However, Moises still has doubts, both because of the lack of salary attraction of the Brazilian club and because he is still looking forward to a return to the Chinese Super League.
However, the family factor is something he has to consider, "I can't predict the final result yet, my contract with Shandong Taishan will expire in the middle of the year and the club is interested in renewing it. But the contract is about to expire and now, I am starting to listen to some advice." Moises said, "For example, I'm going to calmly analyze the situation that is best for me and my family and then make the best decision."
Since Moises' contract with Shandong Taishan expires in four months, there is nothing wrong from a legal point of view if the latter insists that he return to his home country to sign immediately. But in reality, both Taishan and the player himself are beginning to form a unified plan: once he returns to the country to play, he will have to play for at least a full season, not just four months. In addition, from the point of view of the new season player registration, although the CFA in recent years due to the epidemic and other special circumstances to give the green light, allowing players to complete the registration in the form of a few months or half a year's contract, but now, the Taishan team prefers to follow the guidelines of FIFA, that is, in the registration of the Chinese Super League, the need to a full year or a full season of the contract shall prevail. Insiders say that this is also a reflection of the club's efforts to build a standardized team, so in the issue of calling Moises, still hope that he can play at least a full year, and even on this basis to sign a "+1" priority contract extension clause.
From a tactical point of view, Moises is crucial for Shandong Taishan. Although the team has Sun Zhunhao, Liao Lisheng, Fellaini and Duan Liuyu, among the above four, Sun Zhunhao and Liao Lisheng are more focused on the back position, Fellaini is more like a striker, and Duan Liuyu plays on the side in the Taishan team. In the second half of last season, the coaching staff had already focused on developing Xu Xin's backward front function, but I didn't expect the latter's contract renewal issue to arise, and now it's hard to renew the former relationship. As for the idea of buying a new foreign striker, Taishan did try, even exposing the name of Portuguese Premier League Santa Clara player Lincoln. But in the context of the Chinese Super League salary restriction, can the annual salary requirements of the new foreign aid be met? This has become a major problem. In addition, like Lincoln, a 24-year-old new generation of players, the price is not expensive, without three or four million euros or more transfer fee, I am afraid it is difficult to stand out in the competition. But in order to buy out Jadson and Cressan, Taishan team has already set aside six or seven million euros from the season budget.
In contrast, there is no transfer fee to be paid for retaining Moises. As for his annual salary, it is currently around €4 million, which is slightly above the €3 million standard of the Chinese Super League's salary restriction, but it is not non-negotiable, and the key lies in Moises' own decision-making. "It depends on how the player balances between family, career and salary, and how to make a trade-off." Informed sources revealed that now, Taishan team is not exclusive to the return of Moises, if the two sides can agree on the duration of the playing time, it is not impossible to re-open the possibility of cooperation.
It is also reported that the Taishan team has set up a good return route for the return of Moises, once the two sides quickly negotiated, he will take a flight with Delgado to Guangzhou to receive isolation, while newcomer Cressan will take off alone to sign in. Currently, Jadson, Fellaini and Sun Junhao have all arrived in China to undergo quarantine.
