The final chapter of the Chinese Super League (CSL) transfer season kicked off on April 12, and as the rallying cry for teams to prepare for the new season blew in Guangzhou, the months-long reshaping of the Taishan squad was also finalized.
In terms of reinforcement strategy, Taishan first ushered in the K-League MVP Sun Junho to join the team, followed by the J-League to find a young Brazilian scorer Leonardo, these two, together with Fellaini, constitute the team's new foreign aid lineup. Delgado, who was on loan to Portugal last season, has also returned to the team, but since he can only be registered as a foreigner, he will also occupy a foreigner slot if he is included in the list.
Since 2017, Taishan team has not introduced local players in the Chinese Super League for four consecutive years, and this year the situation is very different. Shi Ke, Xu Xin, Ji Xiang and other powerhouse international players have joined the team, and this series of reinforcements has provided the team with precise additions against the backdrop of lower investment, while at the same time, compared to the past, the return on such an investment can be said to be lucrative.
In terms of personnel outflow, with the intensification of internal competition, a number of players chose to move on in the new season. Yao Junsheng moved to Zhejiang, Li Songyi went on loan to Jinmen Tigers, Liu Chaoyang joined Chengdu Rongcheng in the Central League, Fang Hao and Lin Guoyu were loaned to Wuhan, and Chen Pu went on loan to Henan Songshan Longmen. Wu Lei will also play for Nanjing City in the Central League. In addition, Hungarian center back Kadar went on loan to Tianjin Jinmenhu on transfer deadline day, suggesting that his off-season performance failed to convince the coaching team.
Meanwhile, Guedes and Moises, who are currently in Brazil, have confirmed that they will not return early in the first phase. In the past, Taishan had planned to recruit midfielders to fill the vacancies, but in view of the time constraints, this goal also failed to be realized in the current transfer window.
