Nanjing City Football Club is in a difficult financial position to support Ji Xiang's generous salary, and unless he agrees to a significant salary reduction, it will be difficult to bring him into the fold. Given that Ji Xiang has entered the end of his career, joining the Nanjing City team is a wise choice. In addition, Shandong fans have a hard time letting go of Ji Xiang, which stems from his stunning performance when he first started out with Taishan.
In his first season with the Taishan team, Ji Xiang helped the team win the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup with his outstanding performance. Immediately after that, he was selected for the national team again, and his skills became more and more exquisite. Unfortunately, however, Ji Xiang's form and performance declined in the following two seasons, and he is expected to regain his former glory and return to the top of his profession on the stage of Nanjing City Team.
