On May 2, Guangzhou unveiled the complete lineup for the first team, U21 and U19 teams in this season's Chinese Super League, with well-known players such as Wei Shihao, Yan Dinghao, Yang Liyu, Wu Shaochong and Jiang Guangtai on the list. However, two veterans, Li Xuepeng and Zhang Xiuwei, failed to make the list, as they are currently on standby due to missing the transfer window and are expected to seek new opportunities when the transfer window reopens on August 1st.
Most of the core players who have recently returned to the team were freed through the release of their contracts, and it was reported that the Guangzhou team raised funds in April to pay two months of back wages to coaches and players who were in arrears. This has also become the motivation behind players such as Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu and Wu Shaocong continuing to stay with the team. The club promised that once the National Football Association adjusts the reinforcement adjustment fee, it will be used immediately to solve the problem of players' unpaid wages.
Although there is no definite news about the return of the reinforcement adjustment fee, the club's strategy for the players has been seen - Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu, Yan Dinghao and others to stay in the team means that they have reached an agreement with the club on the annual salary, and failed to get into the first team of Li Xuepeng and Zhang Xiuwei, speculation is that perhaps because of the club's offer of the annual salary with their There is a gap between the annual salary offered by the club and their expectations.
Of course, in order to keep Wei Shihao and other stars, Guangzhou Football Salon spared no expense, after all, according to the previous 15 million annual operating expenses and 600,000 yuan of the team's highest salary standard, it is quite difficult to retain international players. Their income may exceed the amount set by the club in the soccer salon player finalization and salary specification plan released in February.
