China Super League (soccer league)
The transfer season is about to start, and although the league is still half a month away, Shandong Taishan, the new double champions, need to lock down their foreign aid candidates. In the AFC Cup final scored a key goal Jadson contract extension is expected, however, for the striker and midfield candidates to adjust, especially the core player Moises contract extension, Taishan club is secretly active operation. It is reported that the joining of Portuguese Premier League scorer Cressan is nearly finalized, but this may just be a starting point for Taishan's reinforcement plan this year.
The focus of Taesan's reinforcements for the new season is centered on what type and level of foreign center forward they are looking for. With Guo Tianyu's upcoming trip to Portugal and Leonardo's loan to Ulsan Hyundai, the position was reserved. Although many Asian and African players have been recommended, but never seen the next step. According to the latest news from reporters, Taesan is not only looking for a large center forward, but also desires an all-around striker with a certain height and moderate age. Cressan because of its "can side" ability to be selected, which will greatly enrich the Taishan team front attack system. In order to examine its combat ability, some people even went to Portugal to examine the scene. Interestingly, Cressan scored a goal in the last round of the game, which also strengthened the Taishan team's determination to pursue him.
Cressan has been playing for Santa Clara for two years and has already proven himself in the Portuguese Premier League. He made 24 appearances last season, contributing 4 goals and 7 assists, and also made 19 appearances in the first 25 rounds of the new season, scoring 7 goals and 2 assists. After Guo Tianyu's departure, Taishan is in urgent need of a pillar in the forward line, and the addition of Cressan is just the right thing to fill this vacancy. In addition, Klassen's salary is not too high, and he has played in the Saudi Arabia League and has experience in Asian tournaments.
The signing of Cressan is expected to come to fruition, but it could be another new signing that feeds the shell. This is not a reference to Sun Junho, but rather Moises, who has yet to renew his contract with the club. Despite his limited playing time last year, Moises showed top level in the Premier League in key games. However, with his contract set to expire on July 21 and no news of a return yet, interest from Barclays Premier League clubs has been high, with Santos even beginning negotiations with his agent. Moises' high annual salary (4.5 million euros) and the Chinese Super League salary limit (3 million euros) have become contract renewal challenges, and Taishan may need to bring in more foreigners up front.
Details of Cressan's deal are difficult to finalize as the Chinese Super League transfer window has yet to open. However, his trip to China is almost confirmed and will depart as soon as the end of March. After two rounds of Portuguese Premier League matches at Santa Clara, Cressan will no longer play for his old club.
