As the second transfer period of the domestic soccer market approaches, the door to registration is open and we will witness the injection of a number of new blood forces, while the league battle still burns. In this transfer frenzy, the trade movements of soccer stars such as Alan, Dai Weijun, Zhang Xiuwei and Li Xuepeng have attracted attention. Alan has reached a transfer agreement with Qingdao Hainiu, and is expected to return to the team quickly and make his debut in Qingdao. Meanwhile, Li Xuepeng has confirmed to join Guangxi Pingguo Ha Loud and Clear in the Central League, a change that will undoubtedly boost their confidence in the Super League and make them the leaders of the Central League.
Zhang Xiuwei, 27, is at the peak of his career, but his form is a mystery after a year without playing. Nevertheless, he is still a key player that Qingdao Sea Cowboys are trying to bring in. Faced with increasing relegation pressure, Zhang Xiuwei had quietly arrived in Qingdao, and the transfer seemed to be a natural one. However, in a twist of events, Zhang Xiuwei suddenly left Qingdao Hainiu to join Qingdao West Coast in the China League One, a move reminiscent of Iguaín's move from Arsenal to Napoli.
Zhang Xiuwei's transfer destination took a dramatic turn as he chose to stay in Qingdao and join another Chinese Super League shocker, Qingdao West Coast. Qingdao West Coast finished second in the Chinese League One and beat Chinese Super League side Cangzhou Lions to reach the last 16 of the F.A.C. Cup. Shanghai Shenhua will host Nantong Jiyun in the 13th round of the Chinese Super League, and Dai Weijun's unveiling will take place at the same time. However, as the transfer registration window does not officially open until July 1, Dai will have to wait until then to play for Shenhua. The match against Nantong Jiyun is more like a debut ceremony for him, and his real debut will be on July 2 against Tianjin Teda.
It is worth noting that Dai Weijun has changed his jersey number, from No. 8 in his Shenzhen days to No. 9, which symbolizes the main center forward. He took over Yang Xu's No. 9 jersey at the unveiling ceremony, a number that will undoubtedly put pressure on him. With Shenhua currently in second place in the table, the addition of Dai Weijun is expected to fill the void left by Wu Xi's departure and help the team continue to compete with Harbor for the title.
