On March 7, Beijing time, Shenzhen soccer reporter Cheng Wenli revealed that the Shenzhen soccer club due to the FIFA ruling, need to pay up to 11 million euros in compensation to its former foreign aid Selnas, about 80 million yuan. The Norwegian former international footballer played in Shenzhen for two years, with a record of only 4 goals and 8 assists.
It is worth mentioning that during the time that Sernas played in the Chinese Super League, he was loaned by Shenzhen to Hebei for one year without pay, during which time there was no rental income, and even the club had to bear his salary.
Recently, many fans have been confused by two consecutive transfer bans issued by the Football Association (FA), one involving domestic players and the other targeting foreign aiders. With only one month left in the Chinese Super League, Shenzhen is facing a huge fine from FIFA, and its defense materials have been rejected by the International Court of Arbitration.
It is reported that the Shenzhen team will not only have to repay the salary owed by Cernus, but also have to pay a considerable amount of interest.
Cheng Wenli mentioned in the article that Sernas was loaned by Shenzhen to Hebei, a team with foreign aid, in the 2021 season, and according to the contract between the two teams, Shenzhen did not need to pay any rental fee to Hebei, and the salary generated during the rental period was borne by the original club.
Inexplicably, this phenomenon of renting players is rare in international soccer. At that time, Shenzhen had nearly 10 foreign aiders, but the number of foreign aiders enrolled in the league was only 4+1, and there was never any plan to sell 1-2 foreign aiders.
It's worth noting that when Selenas joined Shenzhen, the club's general manager was Li Xiaogang. This season, Li Xiaogang was removed from his post in the middle of the season and was replaced by Ding Yong. Selnas has been in the Shenzhen team for a year, despite the early performance is good, but the follow-up can not be integrated into the team, refused to renew the contract every summer.
In the face of such a foreign aid, Shenzhen team should perhaps consider giving up or letting go as early as possible.
It is reported that the Shenzhen team's outstanding payment problem is much more than that. According to the media, the team's contract with foreign aid totaled only 200 million yuan. However, in the past few seasons, the Shenzhen team invested heavily but performed poorly, facing relegation almost every year.In the 2019 season, they even suffered a relegation crisis. If not for the dissolution of Tianjin Tianhai, they might have been relegated to the Central League in the 2020 season.
It is worth mentioning that the performance of the Shenzhen team after the overtaking of the Super League is not satisfactory, not only failed to bring revenue to the parent company, but also increased expenses.
