Zhang Jiansheng will try out for Cangzhou Lions, and Wang Zhenao's destination is not yet clear, as Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Harbor may become his new starting point.
As for other players, Lv Peng, Fei Yu, Wang Jinshuai and Lv Zhuo Yi may join Dalian Zhixing, while Yan Xianggong, Lin Longchang, Li Xuebo and Gui Zihan plan to go north to Liaoning Shenyang City. Hong Kong footballer Laurus is sure to join Guangxi Pingguo Ha Loud and clear, Zhu Jiaxuan continues to stay in Heilongjiang Bingcheng. Song Zhiwei and Liu Le intend to head to Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Club, while Cui Mingan, Zhao Jianbo and Zhao Jiagnan are expected to join Yunnan Yukun Club.
