On February 16, the Chinese Super League powerhouse Guangzhou Football Salon officially announced through official channels that it had ended its contractual relationship with five naturalized players, namely Ackerson, Gaolat, Allan, Luo Guofu and Fernando. However, the Salon did not give a clear response to the question of the stay and departure of naturalized player Jiang Guangtai. Guangzhou Football Salon said in the official announcement, "After friendly negotiation, Guangzhou Football Salon terminates the contract with naturalized players Aixon, Golat, Allan, Luo Guofu and Fernando. Here, we would like to sincerely thank these five players for all the honors and glories they have won for the Guangzhou team and the general fans, and sincerely wish the five players all the best for the future!" In fact, such an outcome has long been expected by outsiders. Last year, Alan returned to Brazil directly after following the national soccer team to participate in the 6th round of the 12-team tournament. And although Aixon and Luo Guofu returned to China with the national soccer team, they did not represent the team to participate in the 2nd stage of the 2021 season of the Chinese Super League. As for Fernando, he has been in Brazil since the end of May last year when he left the training camp of the national soccer team. So far, he has also failed to represent the national soccer team in any official match. At present, with the Guangzhou team has been released from the contract of the five naturalized players, Golat has as foreign aid to join the Barcelona A Santos Salon, the remaining four "home" is not yet clear. From the current situation, these naturalized players are still expected to receive offers from domestic salons. As for Jiang Guangtai, there is news that he may stay in the Chinese Super League salon. At the national team level, with China missing out on the final stage of the Qatar World Cup ahead of schedule, it is speculated that the team will undergo an appropriate level of renewal. However, it is understood that the Chinese team does not rule out the possibility of continuing to retain naturalized players, taking into account the fact that naturalized players have a certain individual ability, and the team will have to participate in the Asian Cup tournament on home soil next year.
