As the transfer season draws to a close on April 27th, the Super League teams' competition for reinforcements is also coming to an end. Although Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have not yet released official information, the German transfer market website revealed that Beijing Guoan player Yang Fan will return to Tianjin Jinmen Tigers camp in the new season, while Shanghai Harbor's Zhang Wei will also join Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in the form of a loan.
Yang Fan has been training with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers for a few weeks now, and with his contract expiring soon, Yang Fan has decided to return to his old team in light of his limited playing opportunities at Beijing Guoan. If all goes well, Yang Fan, who will be a free agent next year, is expected to extend his contract with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and become the core force of the team.
Meanwhile, Shanghai Harbor's defender Zhang Wei will also join Tianjin Jinmen Tigers on loan. The experienced defender is capable of playing as a wingback and center back, which is exactly what Tianjin Jinmen Tigers need. However, as he is currently in Shanghai, he will not be able to return to the team in the short term, which may have an impact on the start of the new season, but the jury is still out.
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have made a lot of reinforcement moves in this transfer period, with double-digit numbers of new players joining the team and major changes in the lineup. However, the strength of the team still needs to be tested in the Chinese Super League, and the formation of the strongest lineup still needs to wait, as some players are not yet in place.
