Shenhua captain Moreno misses Gusu relegation battle as Chinese Super League beacons resume
He took a leave of absence to visit his family in his home country, and the issue of contract renewal is still pending. Sources close to the situation revealed that the key to the renewal of the contract depends on whether Moreno is willing to accept a significant pay cut.

The schedule, the system, the development of the epidemic and the policy of prevention and control are all factors that Moreno and Shenhua need to consider. 2020, due to the epidemic prevention and control, Moreno was once stranded in Colombia, until the middle of the year to take the chartered plane back to Shanghai.

Shenhua keeps an open mind on this, the key lies in how both sides can find a balance between objective difficulties and personal rights.
