Looking ahead, Beijing Guoan may shift its strategy of pursuing league results in the upcoming season.
For this reason, Guoan plans to make a lot of big moves in the player market this year. In addition to the signings of former Taishan striker Fang Hao and Brazilian back-rower De Souza, the club also plans to bring in more fresh blood in the winter transfer window.
It is reported that Guoan team aims to bring in at least two foreign players this season to strengthen the team's midfield and backfield. However, does the forward line also need to be supplemented? Perhaps there is no need for foreign players, but the potential of local players cannot be ignored. Recently, a soccer blogger revealed on social media seems to confirm this.
The blogger revealed that he had followed the rumors about Guoan and Lin Liangming. Despite the reluctance of the Dalianese to release him, there has been contact between the two sides and the exact progress is hard to predict.
As we all know, the Dallians are facing a lot of difficulties this season. The club's financial situation is worrying due to historical debts. Wage arrears are outstanding and the transfer ban has still not been lifted.
Some soccer journalists have pointed out that in order to ease the financial pressure, the Dalian Ren may be forced to sell several of their star players, including Sun Guowen and Lin Liangming, who still retain contracts with the club.
Sun Guowen has now begun a trial with Shandong Taishan, and it would be no surprise if he officially moves to the club for the new season. Not only has Sun Guowen given up his former team's back wages, but the Taishan club may also pay compensation to the Dalianese. It is also highly likely that Lin Liangming will follow Sun Guowen's example and leave Dalianjin in the winter transfer window. Recently, several clubs have been rumored to be in talks with Lin Liangming.
25 year old Lin Liangming is one of the best trained by the Guangzhou Football Association. A star since his childhood, he has been selected for the National Youth, National Olympic and National Teams.In 2011, the Guangzhou Allsvenskan was acquired by Guangzhou R&F and Lin Liangming joined the R&F team with his teammates.
However, Lin Liangming did not play for R&F in the Chinese Super League.In 2015, 18-year-old Lin Liangming joined La Liga giants Real Madrid for a €300,000 transfer fee. However, shortly after playing for Real Madrid, Lin Liangming was loaned out to Almeria in the Liga B. He was also sent on loan to Almeria.
As things did not go well in Europe, Lin Liangming returned to China in 2020 to join Dalian. His first season was limited by injuries and he didn't get too many chances in the league. Since the 2021 season, he has gradually grown into the mainstay of the team's forward line.
Last season, Lin Liangming became a key player in Dalian's offensive line under new coach Xie Hui. In one season, he contributed 12 goals and 6 assists, ranking second on the scorer's list after Zhang Yuning of Guoan in league goals.
Despite the fact that Lin Liangming has become the absolute centerpiece of the Dalian team, the club's lack of funds makes it difficult to keep him. This provides the perfect opportunity for Guoan to sign this highly regarded player. Lin Liangming can play left and right wingers, center forward, shadow forward, front waist and other positions in front of the field, which will help enrich the tactical system of Guoan's team.
If Guoan can successfully bring in Lin Liangming in the winter transfer window, then Fang Hao, Zhang Yuning and Lin Liangming will form a domestic trident to debut in the team's front field. Such a luxury lineup will make Guoan a strong contender for the Super League title again in the new season!
