2. Wu Lei and the Spaniards: a return to the Shanghai seaport on the horizon?
The Spaniards are traveling to Marbella, Andalusia for pre-match warm-ups under coach Diego Martinez, while Wu Lei was unable to travel with the team due to a knee injury. The latest news is that transfer talks are underway between the Spaniards and Shanghai Seaport and are expected to free up salary space for the Spaniards.
Back in January, during the winter window, Wu Lei had applied to leave the team, but then-coach Vicente Moreno pushed to keep him in the team, which led to Wu Lei's goals in La Liga. However, as the European transfer window has yet to close and the domestic transfer window has yet to open, this transfer remains on hold.
The real reason for Wu Lei's return to the Chinese Super League is said to be family factors. Despite experiencing two pay cuts at Espanyol, his salary is still above the salary cap for Chinese Super League players. Due to playing in Europe, Wu Lei will lose many commercial endorsements when he returns to his home country, which is quite a big financial loss. However, returning home means more opportunities to play, which is undoubtedly good news for the Chinese men's soccer team, which is at a low ebb.

Atletico's fan organization even said that c Luo does not match Atletico's team values and does not want him to join.
5. Atletico Madrid boss Simeone persuaded fans to accept c Luo to join the team
Teams interested in introducing c Luo include Chelsea, Bayern, Atletico Madrid and Napoli. Bayern has made it clear that it is impossible to bring in Crowe. Atletico Madrid boss Simeone is trying to convince fans to accept c Luo's joining.

8. Barcelona continues to be at loggerheads with De Jong and Pjanic
