On May 6, under the night curtain in Shanghai, a heavy news in the soccer world quietly fermented. According to Football Weekly, the famous Zhang Linpeng has resolutely chosen to join Shanghai Harbor, and behind this choice is his determination to give up on unpaid wages. However, the Seaport club showed unprecedented respect by seamlessly transferring Zhang's final year of his Guangzhou contract to the Seaport camp.
Soccer Weekly further revealed that Zhang Linpeng has resolutely given up most of his outstanding salary from Guangzhou in this transfer, while Seaport has given him full respect by transferring the remaining 1 year of his contract in Guangzhou directly to his new owner on a flat basis. In the new season, Zhang Linpeng will work side by side with Seaport to launch a charge for the Chinese Super League title.
Recall that on April 29, Shanghai Harbour Club officially announced the return of Zhang Linpeng. In his 11-season career with Guangzhou, Zhang made 328 appearances and energized the team with 18 goals as a defender. During that time, Zhang won the AFC Champions League, Chinese Super League, CFA Cup and CFA Super Cup with the team.
