Even though N'Gadeu still has one year left on his contract with Guingamp, rumors have it that he is likely to bid farewell to the team next season. Many clubs in the Saudi League have already extended their cooperation to the Cameroonian defender. Compared to the Chinese Super League, the Saudi league not only has a higher level of competition, but also has a more lucrative salary package. Therefore, if Guoan does not intend to extend N'Gadeu's contract early, he is likely to move to the Saudi League in the coming season.
Looking at Guoan's foreign aid lineup this season, only Guga and Fabio are expected to stay in the team. In the past two seasons, Fabio's performance at Guoan has been particularly outstanding, scoring 14 goals and contributing 12 assists up front, making him a pillar of Guoan's offensive line.
Guga has had a controversial season. At the beginning of the season, fans had high hopes for the Portuguese midfielder's performance, yet he has failed to live up to expectations. Despite some highlights in the midfield transition and attacking end, Guga's performance still fell short compared to Augusto and Paulinho. But considering his transfer fee of €550,000, fans seem to be too hard on him.
With the departure of three foreign players, Guoan will focus on strengthening the center and backfield next season, and is expected to bring in a high level foreign center back. In the midfield, we need to look for a player with stronger confrontation and sweeping ability. With the departure of Ji Zhongguo and Li Ke, Guga is also not a typical defensive midfielder. Therefore, in order to improve the team's defensive midfield strength, Guoan must bring in a powerful foreign midfielder.
In addition, Guoan's front position also needs to be strengthened urgently. It is reported that the music department has basically finalized Changchun Yatai's Serginho, and the contract between the two sides has been basically negotiated. Serginho will arrive in China in January next year, life after five years to become the third naturalized player in the history of Guoan. His arrival will undoubtedly significantly improve Guoan's offensive organization in the Chinese Super League. If we can bring in more local reinforcements in key positions, I believe Guoan will have the strength to win the title next season.
