Last month, Fellaini announced his departure from the club and organized a touching farewell event in Jinan. As for Moises, the question of whether he will stay or go is still shrouded in mystery. Despite being in his late thirties, Moises has continued to shine this season, especially after Sun Junho's investigation, and has quickly become the new leader of Taishan's attacking midfield.
In 25 Super League games for Taishan, Moises has 5 goals and 10 assists, making him the team's assist leader. At his current level of firepower, another season with Taishan seems to be within reach.
But the Taishan squad is aging badly and in dire need of a complete overhaul. 36-year-old Moises is clearly at odds with the team's long-term blueprint, and signs of his departure are becoming more and more apparent. In a recent social media posting, Moises alluded to the fact that time is running out and many memories need to be cherished, and included a photo of his loaded luggage.
From that picture, it's easy to see that Moises' luggage is piled up as if it could fill a room. Such a large-scale packing, undoubtedly signaling that he has already prepared mentally not to return to the team next year.
Although his bags are packed, Moises is in no hurry to leave Jinan. The reason for this is that Taishan have three remaining matches, including a crucial AFC Cup final against Shanghai Shenhua and two group games in the AFC Champions League.
