In the current market pattern, Dalian Yingbo Club has obviously made it their core goal to improve their offensive firepower in the winter transfer period. It is reported that Chengdu Rongcheng's striker Palacios is expected to join Dalian Imbo's embrace without any constraints after the expiration of his contract. Looking back at last season, Palacios only played half of the season, but with 15 appearances, contributing 7 goals and 3 assists, showing a good competitive state.
At the same time, Dalian Imbo has another tiger in the choice of foreign striker - Shanghai Shenhua's old general Mallet. With the termination of Shenhua's contract with the Swiss striker, Mallet's departure brings new hope to Dalian Yibo. In his two seasons at Shenhua, Mallet made 67 appearances and scored 36 goals, helping the team win an AFC Cup and a Super Cup. Despite the fact that some fans were not happy with his missed chances, his goal tally is still not to be underestimated.
For the newly promoted teams in the Chinese Super League, Mallet might just be the key that unlocks the door to victory. His fighting spirit and excellent running skills have earned him a lot of scoring opportunities. In the highly competitive environment of the weaker teams in the Chinese Super League, players like Malalei are better able to utilize their unique strengths. However, his salary demands are quite substantial, already at €700,000 per year during his time at Shenhua, and he expects to double his salary to €1 million next season. Such a high salary expectation may become a big problem for him to join Dalian Yingbo. However, if Dalian Yingbo can reach a consensus with Malelai on the salary issue, then he will work with Palacios and Karanga to build up the team's new front line, and the team's attacking power is expected to realize a qualitative leap. These three foreigners all have rich experience in the Chinese Super League, and will undoubtedly play a key role in Dalian Imbo's relegation journey.
