The soccer world is in a state of flux, Sun Shilin, Zhu Jianrong and a host of other stars have fallen into the net, Chen Xuyuan's son was not spared, was taken away to be investigated. According to Li Xuan, director of Football Daily, Chen Xuyuan, a senior member of the Football Association, is suspected of major violations, and every shake-up in the soccer world seems to be a regular occurrence.
The revelation of the incident involving Chen Xuyuan's son has once again set off waves of signing corruption. The Shanghai Port club was disturbed by the news and worried about its own involvement.
On March 19, Li Xuan further revealed that Ding Yong, a former executive of Tianjin Quanjian (now known as Tianjin Tianhai), had coveted the talent of Shanghai defender Wei Zhen, and wasted no time in wiring a huge sum of 50 million yuan to Wei Zhen's home with the intention of recruiting him to his team.
This huge sum of money has moved Wei Zhen's parents to assist their son to leave Shanghai SIPG. However, Chen Xuyuan was firmly against Wei Zhen's transfer and spared no effort in criticizing the "golden dollar soccer".
In order to fight for Wei Zhen's transfer, Wei Zhen's parents even begged on their knees in the Chinese Super League meeting, but Shanghai SIPG still refused to release him. In the end, Wei Zhen failed to join Tianjin Quanjian, and the two sides were locked in a contract dispute. Unfortunately, Wei Zhen's family's 25 million dollars of property has been frozen by the Tianjin court.
Wei Zhen, born in February 1997 and a native of Lu'an, Anhui Province, is an accomplished defender who currently plays for Shanghai Harbour FC. He was selected for China's U23 men's soccer team in March 2018 and was selected again in January 2022 for China's men's soccer roster.
