With the precise deployment of manager Yu Genwei, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers achieved an excellent eighth place in the league this season. However, the Tianjin Sports Bureau continues to regulate the club. At the end of the season, the Tianjin Sports Bureau and the club are working closely to prepare the documents to ensure that the club passes the FA audit and returns to the Chinese Super League next season. Thanks to the active coordination of the Tianjin Sports Bureau, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers is expected to usher in a new owner. Once the money is injected, the club may change its strategy to recruit stronger internal and external supporters to strengthen the team's lineup. Therefore, in the long off-season, the adjustment of the club's lineup seems inevitable.
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers outside back Beric, who has contributed 14 goals in 56 games for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers over the past two seasons and was crowned top scorer last season, is likely to bid farewell to the team. 32-year-old Beric's contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and he will join the transfer market as a free agent at the end of that time. It has been reported that Slovenian First Division leaders Čele have already made an olive branch offer to Beric. He may become the first Tianjin Jinmen Tiger foreign aid to leave the team in the off-season.
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are once again targeting Beijing Guoan's core players. Last year, they managed to bring in midfielder Barton, who made 30 appearances for the team, scoring 4 goals and assisting 7 times. Barton caused controversy when he failed to make it to Jankovic's national team for the World Qualifier. Tianjin Jinmen Tigers got a taste of the action and are targeting Beijing Guoan again this time around. Winger Yang Fan, who is currently joining Tianjin Jinmen Tigers on loan, is expected to make an official move before the end of the season to follow manager Yu Genwei. Yang Fan started his career at the Tianjin Songjiang youth training base, and under the tutelage of Dutch coach Strikers, his potential was tapped and he quickly made a name for himself in the Tianjin team. Yang Fan's performance caught the attention of Beijing Guoan. In the era of gold-dollar soccer, Beijing Guoan had offered a transfer fee of RMB 20 million and Lei Tenglong in exchange.
However, Yang Fan has had a rough time at Beijing Guoan, with very little playing time, and has returned to Tianjin Jinmen Tigers on loan in recent years. It seems that the mighty Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are interested in buying out Yang Fan this season and bringing him back to his homeland. Beijing Guoan has also agreed to this, and there are no obstacles in the way of this deal being finalized.
