Not long ago, Shandong Taishan Football Club signed an early termination contract with core midfielder Future You, signaling that Fellaini will leave Shandong Taishan for good as the season comes to a close. Recently, he jumped up to become an investor in the Belgian B League Framboise. Prior to this, Fellaini also generously contributed 3 million euros to help the Belgian powerhouse Standard Liege through the economic difficulties. It is reported that the original should be returned to Fellaini 3 million euros in April this year, so far the standard martyrs have not yet paid. Therefore, it is widely speculated that Fellaini may join Standard Liege after leaving the Chinese Super League. After his retirement, Fellaini plans to transform into a soccer agent, focusing on running the Franchise Club he holds.
Currently, the Chinese Super League is nearing its end, and Shandong Taishan has almost lost the hope of winning the championship with a disadvantage of eight points behind the harbor. Next, Shandong Taishan will go all out to prepare for the AFC Cup and AFC Champions League. In the group stage of the AFC Champions League, Shandong Taishan's performance was not ideal, and it was doubtful that the team would get out of the group. However, Shandong Taishan have already reached the final of the AFC Cup, and Fellaini is expected to win the AFC Cup with his teammates and end his career in the Chinese Super League in a decent way. Meanwhile, Shandong Taishan have already started looking for Fellaini's successor. According to Portuguese media record newspaper, Portuguese Liga Torrens Argentine midfielder Correa is close to joining Shandong Taishan. Correa, 30 years old, 170cm tall, plays as a front man and can adapt to multiple positions in the midfield. He has played for Greek Super League Velos NFC, A League Sarsfield, Portuguese Super League Maritimo and other clubs. Correa has excellent ability to hold the ball to advance and pass, excellent free-kick skills, and specializes in long-distance shooting. This season, he made 6 appearances in Portuguese Liga Torrens, scoring 3 goals, with a bright performance on the offensive end. In order to bring in Correa to succeed Fellaini, Shandong Taishan is willing to pay a transfer fee of 1 million euros to Torrens FC and offer the player a two-and-a-half-year contract.
Regarding the departing players, the performance of Pato, the golden boot of the Indonesian league who joined Shandong Taishan from the Indonesian league in the middle of the season, did not meet expectations. Next season, coach Choi Kang-hee is likely to look for a strong center forward in the transfer market to improve the team's offensive efficiency. Domestic authoritative media reported that Pato, who left Shandong Taishan, will not leave the Chinese Super League. Zhejiang team is likely to rent Pato at the end of the season. Interestingly, Zhejiang has rented Leonardo, a Brazilian foreigner who was originally loaned by Shandong Taishan to Changchun Yatai, for this season. So far, Leonardo has scored 17 goals in the Chinese Super League, topping the scorer's list. It is understood that Leonardo's contract with Shandong Taishan will expire at the end of this season. Since joining Shandong Taishan, Leonardo has been on loan for a long time. After the expiration of the contract, Leonardo may be with Shandong Taishan and the Chinese Super League completely goodbye.
Whether Changchun Yatai or Zhejiang team, Leonardo has maintained a stable and efficient performance. This also makes the Zhejiang team to Shandong Taishan foreign aid love. In the case of Leonardo's imminent departure, they are likely to once again rent Pato from Shandong Taishan to replace the outgoing Leonardo and another forward general Mu Xiekui.
