As the Chinese Super League (CSL) transfer season approaches, teams are launching their reinforcement strategies. Beijing Guoan is in imminent need of strengthening their squad, after all, their consecutive losses in the AFC Champions League have exposed the team's shortcomings. Especially after the departure of Ademi and De Souza, Suarez is looking for a new right-hand man.
This season, Beijing Guoan has underperformed in large part because of serious woes at the back. Ademi has struggled to adapt to the environment, De Sousa and Zhang Yuan have suffered frequent injuries, and Zhang Xizhe has been absent for a long time due to a ban. Ji Zhongguo and Park Cheng are at the end of their careers, while Gao Tianyi and Li Ke have also failed to perform at the expected level.
Now that Park Sung has retired and De Souza and Ademi have left the club, Beijing Guoan is in dire need of strengthening at the back. Strikingly, Portuguese back-rower Guga seems to be close to joining Guoan, and the club has submitted an offer to Avi River FC. Once the player agrees to leave the team, it is only a matter of time before he joins Guoan.
However, Suarez doesn't seem to be satisfied with the arrival of Guga. He is eager to bring in another back. According to Turkish media outlet TV100, a Chinese Super League (CSL) team has shown strong interest in Cameroonian international Kerman. Kerman is currently on free agency after being released from his contract with Kayseri Sporting due to unpaid wages. It is reported that the team is likely to be Beijing Guoan, in which Cameroonian captain N'Gadeu has also joined.
According to the information, the 27-year-old Kerman, who is 175 centimeters tall, is a versatile midfielder who is capable of playing in several positions, including forward, forward and back. His technical characteristics are distinctive, with excellent footwork, accurate passing, excellent running ability and good at stealing. This season, Kerman made 13 appearances for Sporting Kayseri, contributing 2 goals and assists. He is valued at €2.5 million on the German transfer market.
Although TV100 did not explicitly state that Beijing Guoan is interested in bringing in Kerman, considering Li Ming's preference for foreigners from the Turkish league and Beijing Guoan's relationship with N'Gadeu, it is likely that this is the same Beijing Guoan that is pursuing Kerman. It's worth noting that Kerman is currently in free agency, and Beijing Guoan won't have to pay a transfer fee to sign the Cameroonian international.
If Kerman and Guga join Beijing Guoan together, the team's midfield strength will be greatly improved. Together with Zhang Xizhe and Zhang Yuning, the two are expected to bring championship glory to Beijing Guoan.
