This season, Edmilson's form has taken a sharp turn for the worse, with the team's poor record causing Spanish head coach Pedro to step down in disgrace. The new Japanese boss, Makoto Takabatake, paid little attention to Edmilson, causing him to quickly lose his place at the heart of the team.
Faced with league woes, the Three Town club made a big recruitment drive in the summer window, bringing in South Korean foreigner Park Ji-soo and recalling Malcolm. In order to accommodate the new recruits, Edmilson was stripped of his Chinese Super League registration. After being out of the game, Edmilson left China for Europe and showed his UK vacation photos on social media platforms.
With the withdrawal of capital by Shangwen Group, Edmilson quickly announced his departure from Wuhan Sanzhen. His departure can be considered a blessing, if Sanzhen has no new investor, it is feared that it will be disbanded at the end of the season, and the players will face a crisis of unemployment.
Edmilson is out of the team and can now fully focus on finding a new owner. Given that he has terminated his contract with the club and is a free agent, the 29-year-old striker has had a relatively easy time finding a new job.
Before joining Sanzen, Edmilson played for Gamba Osaka in the Japanese J-League and Sao Paulo in the Barclays Premier League for many years. Now, the possibility of returning to the Barclays Premier League is greater than returning to the J-League. Next year, the Brazilian shot-stopper will be in his prime, so it might be wise for him to return to his old club, Sao Paulo.
