Due to the serious financial crisis of the club's parent company, the former Chinese Super League 8 champion Guangzhou team has now come to the brink of dissolution. While the question of whether Guangzhou will remain in the Chinese Super League next season is still unresolved, the question of the whereabouts of several naturalized players on the team has also become the focus of attention of many Chinese fans.
At present, in addition to Gaulat who is basically determined to join the Bajia team Santos, several other naturalized players in Guangzhou have not yet found a new home for themselves. However, there has been a lot of news recently, saying that Shandong Taishan will introduce several naturalized players from Guangzhou next season.
The recent revelations of a well-known sports blogger on social platforms also seem to confirm that these news are not completely empty. The blogger said That Jiang Guangtai and Alain have not yet terminated their contracts with Guangzhou because they have found a new home in the Chinese Super League.
Judging from the actual situation of the current Chinese Super League teams, there are still enough financial resources to introduce naturalized players, leaving shanghai harbor and Shandong Taishan two clubs, and the harbor seems unlikely to introduce naturalized players.
As we all know, at the end of last season, it was rumored that The Harbour Club would bring in former Jiangsu Suning's Brazilian striker Teixeira and would help him naturalize in China.
But the transfer news eventually fell out, and the fundamental reason behind it was that the top management of Harbor Club was not interested in naturalized players. Chen Shuyuan, the former chairman of the Harbor Club and the current coach of the Chinese Football Association, has repeatedly said that Chinese football does not need naturalized players.
In addition, according to the latest news, the parent company of the Harbor Club, SIPG Group, will also reduce the investment in the team in the future, coupled with the total investment of the first team of the Chinese Super League clubs in the new season may be limited to 300 million yuan, and the annual salary of the foreign aid Oscar of the Harbor Team will exceed 100 million yuan.
So, even if Harbor wants to bring in naturalized players, they don't have enough salary space.
The situation for Shandong is completely different, at present, Taishan Club has renewed new contracts with the vast majority of the main players in the team, and adjusted their salary levels according to the relevant regulations of the Football Association.
That is to say, now that the salary structure of the Taishan first team is very healthy, if Jiang Guangtai and Alain can accept the salary cut, the Taishan club has enough salary space to sign these 2 naturalized players.
After winning the Chinese Super League and FA Cup doubles, The Taishan team also directly qualified for next season's AFC Champions League. Faced with the pressure of the 3rd line battle in the new season, the Taishan team also needs to strengthen, and the positions they need to strengthen most are the forward line and the guard line.
As one of the best local center-back players in China at present, the addition of Jiang Guangtai can undoubtedly effectively improve the defensive ability of the Taishan team's defender line. In this way, even if the club can't keep Judsson, the Tarzan team's defender line next season will not have much to lose.
Moreover, Jiang Guangtai will not occupy the team's foreign aid quota, so that a foreign aid quota set aside by the Taishan team can be used on the front line.
In addition, the addition of Alan also helps to improve the attacking power of the Taishan team's forward line. Although Alain is no longer qualified for the role of the main force, as a dexterous striker, his combination with Guo Tianyu's forward line will greatly enrich the Taishan team's offensive routine.
For these reasons, the taishan team will not only bring in Alain and Jiang Guangtai next season, but also very meaningful. The introduction of these 2 naturalized players can not only effectively improve the immediate combat strength of the team's offensive and defensive ends. More importantly, this also directly retained 2 rare talents for the national team.
