Cressan's metamorphosis has been remarkable, and in this season's Asian Champions League campaign, he has temporarily reached the top of the AFC Champions League's top scorer list with a stunning 8 appearances and 8 goals, with 3 impacts on the edge of the goal frame highlighting his goal-scoring skills. The player, who was not well known at the beginning of his arrival in the Chinese Super League, has now scored 50 goals in 67 matches for Taishan, just one step away from becoming the team's all-time top goal scorer for foreigners. Cressan's value has also risen to €3.5 million, attracting the attention of the West Asian giants, and rightly so.
If Cressan extends his contract with Taishan, it will be the best proof of his deep affection for the team. After all, if he moves to West Asia, his annual salary will easily exceed the 3 million euro mark. Recall that when Cressan first came to the Chinese Super League, he had 6 consecutive rounds of no income, and even penalty kicks missed to the team's shame, but he was encouraged by the club and teammates rather than scolded. Fans have also been very patient, waiting for him to bounce back. All of these bits and pieces inadvertently impressed Cressan. However, there has been no official announcement on Kressan's contract extension, so fans will have to be patient.
