On August 24th, the Brazilian local media broke the news that Shandong Taishan's foreign striker Gerdes' contract with the team has officially come to an end. According to informed sources, the former Brazilian international's destination seems to have been locked, that is, Corinthians, a strong team in the Brazilian First Division.
Guedes' contract with Shandong Taishan was originally due to expire in the summer of 2022, but an inside source in the Brazilian media disclosed that Guedes has been seeking a release from his contract with Shandong Taishan since joining the team. He joined Shandong in the summer of 2018 at the age of 24, in the prime of his career. However, affected by the Xinguang epidemic, Guedes has not been able to return to China this year, and rumors have been swirling about his desire to terminate his contract.
According to the Brazilian media's further revelations, Gedes' joining target is none other than the current favorite in the Barclays Premier League - Corinthians. It is worth mentioning that the former Guoan foreigner Augusto has also just joined the Barclays Premier League giants, so I wonder if this will be another exciting matchup between them.
