With just three days to go, the winter transfer window will come to a close. As per usual, as the window winds down, tons of transfer news follows. Looking back at the past month's developments, last year's runner-up Taishan FC is expected to announce a series of reinforcement moves. Recently, the much-anticipated Huang Zhengyu and Fernando have basically won the favor of the coaching staff and are expected to join the Taishan camp. As for Hu Jinghang and Liu Shibo, they are currently training with the team, and Hu Jinghang is reported to have participated in the game, so there should be no worries about signing them. As for Sun Guowen and Tong Lei, they were the first players to be rumored to be transferring, and have now completed the formalities and are ready to play.
Although Taishan is not in a hurry to publicize the transfer news, fans are getting more and more anxious, fearing that there will be temporary changes. In fact, this fear is not unfounded, and Taishan apparently intends to focus on releasing an official statement. Despite the large number of new signings, several players are still waiting for the final results. Among them, captain Li Yuanyi has become the seventh high-profile signing. Given Shenzhen's possible exit due to financial issues and Li Yuanyi's search for a new owner, he has become the meat and potatoes of the transfer market, making Taishan's chances of working with him much higher.
However, the news of Taishan's heavy reinforcements has backfired, a shift that not only ended the dark horse team's hopes, but also triggered a series of chain reactions. On the one hand, Shenzhen's decision to stay in the Chinese Super League is not only a waste of investor money, but also an expectation of the team's future, and retaining captain Li Yuanyi is key. On the other hand, Li Yuanyi's status as a free agent does not rule out a new team launching a chase for him. Therefore, Li Yuanyi did not appear in the "Sports Cup", and the possibility of moving to Taishan has also changed. As his contract ended in January, Li Yuanyi is now a free agent.
Considering the pros and cons, staying in Shenzhen team has the following advantages for Li Yuanyi: firstly, he can keep the captain's position and ensure his main position in the team; secondly, there is no need to adapt to the new environment, and the team's atmosphere is stable, as if the rain has passed through; furthermore, the financial situation is secured, and the problem of the salary is solved, so that he can play with peace of mind. If he joins Taishan, Li Yuanyi is expected to win the championship and improve the team's performance, but the uncertainty of the new environment and position, as well as the responsibility of being the captain, will bring more pressure.
The treatment of Taishan FC is still guaranteed and it is one of the few stable clubs in the Chinese Super League. Of course, if another team gets involved, the transfer matter will become more complicated. However, 29-year-old Li Yuanyi needs to make a decision in just a few days. After all, the transfer window is about to close and the answer will be revealed this week. At that time, the official news of Taishan's newest addition will also be announced.
