Despite the worrying financial situation of Beijing Guoan's majority shareholder, Sino Group, the team managed to sign strong players such as Fang Hao, Li Lei, Ademi and De Souza before the season started. Now, with only three games left in the league, Guoan is in fifth place with 45 points, with no hope of winning the championship, and even qualification for the AFC Champions League is in jeopardy. It's hard to satisfy the fans with such a result. With the season coming to an end, the club may have already started planning for next season's transfer program in order to improve the team's strength.
According to a self-published journalist, Zhang Yuning, the local golden boot of last season's Chinese Super League, may bid farewell to Guoan and start his career as a foreigner. The French team has extended the olive branch to Zhang Yuning. This season, Zhang Yuning due to injury long-term recuperation, failed to play for Guoan, greatly affecting the team's offensive efficiency. As one of the first Chinese strikers to study abroad, Zhang Yuning played for Vitesse in Holland and briefly joined top five league teams such as Bremen in the Bundesliga and West Bromwich in the English Premier League. His overseas training not only improved his physical confrontation ability, but also developed a fluent English, clearing the language barrier for another study abroad. Guoan is expected to support Zhang Yuning's further studies abroad to improve his individual abilities. If Zhang Yuning leaves the club, Guoan may be able to find a suitable replacement in the transfer market. In my opinion, new international Lin Liangming, who is currently playing for Dalian, may be the most suitable candidate. Lin Liangming played for La Liga giants Real Madrid B before returning to the Chinese Super League to join Dalian, where he became the centerpiece of the team's attack. With his outstanding performance in the Chinese Super League, he was spotted by the new national team manager, Jankovic, and scored for the national team in the warm-up matches. Lin Liangming's form has even surpassed that of national soccer striker Wu Lei. Currently, Dalian's financial situation has not improved. With financial constraints, Dalian has sent a number of their star players to other Chinese Super League teams. Considering Dalian's predicament, numerous international players, including Lin Liangming, may leave the team. As the team's main players are leaving, Lin Liangming managed to stay in the team. His performance has caught the attention of strong Chinese Super League teams such as Shanghai Shenhua, Shanghai Harbor and Beijing Guoan. In the midfield position, Ademi and De Souza, whom Guoan brought in this season, have not performed well. Ademi has moved to his old club Dinamo Zagreb on a free transfer, while De Souza has returned to Brazil to recover. Guoan is likely to bring in new midfielders to improve the team's organization and attacking efficiency. Currently, it seems that Brazilian foreigner Moises, who plays for Shandong Taishan, has become Guoan's target. Moises' contract is about to expire, and considering his age, Shandong Taishan may not renew his contract. Moises won the Chinese Super League's assist title last season, and his attacking and organizing ability is unquestionable. Guoan has not been successful in the transfer of midfielders this season. General Manager Li Ming may adjust his signing strategy to look for foreigners with experience in the Chinese Super League to improve the team's offensive organization.
