In the latest revelation from the Daily News, the soccer world has been flooded with news that Han Pengfei, one of the stalwarts of our soccer world and an international center back, and his partner, right back tomorrow, have not agreed to extend their contracts with the Zimmen Tigers. Rumors of Han Pengfei's transfer have been swirling for a long time. With his outstanding performance in Jinmen Tigers, Han Pengfei has been promoted to be the core player of the national team. However, at the age of 32, he is in the twilight of his career and is eager to secure a lucrative contract for the future.
Jinmen Tigers have had a solid run in the Chinese Super League in the last two years after the equity reform, but the investment is not much. As a result, the team has never been able to fulfill Han Pengfei's quest for a top salary. Against this backdrop, a long-established club in the north offered Han Pengfei a top-salary deal. Numerous fans speculated that this might be Beijing Guoan - Han's hometown team, which he has never represented in his career. For this son of Beijing, putting on the uniform of Guoan and realizing his childhood dream seems to be just around the corner. This Saturday, the Tianjin Tigers will face Shanghai Harbor on the road, a game that will likely be Han's farewell performance for the Tigers. Although Han Pengfei won't be able to earn his top salary next season, his soccer career will continue. For the sixth-ranked Tian Jinmen Tigers, this matchup may seem irrelevant. Meanwhile, the team's head coach, Yu Genwei, is busy dealing with players' contract extensions. Will he stop Shanghai Harbor's pursuit of Han Pengfei while maintaining the friendship of the Sky? Everything is still unknown.
