On the morning of January 15, Beijing time, the Colombian National Athletic Team officially announced that the 35-year-old Moreno joined the team as a free agent.
This is Moreno's return to the National Athletics after 12 years. In 2010, Moreno moved from National Athletics to Argentina, and two years later to Shanghai Shenhua.
It is understood that Moreno will wear the No. 70 jersey of the National Athletic team in the new season.
Moreno, 35, spent 10 years at Shanghai Shenhua. His contract with Shanghai Shenhua expired at the end of last year, and the two sides decided not to renew it. After Moreno was out of the FA Cup, he asked Shanghai Shenhua for leave and flew back to Colombia with his family. Moreno is a very professional player who has been here since he returned to China in June 2020, and the family has not returned to Colombia for a year and a half.
At that time, considering that Shanghai Shenhua could only play in the relegation group in the second stage, and there was no relegation pressure, it agreed to leave Moreno and miss the second stage of the Chinese Super League. Unexpectedly, Captain Shenhua left this time and would never come back.
During his 10 years at Shanghai Shenhua, Moreno helped the team win two FA Cups; he made 265 appearances for Shanghai Shenhua, contributing 86 goals and 44 assists. According to statistics, Moreno became the shanghai Shenhua team's all-time top scorer with 86 goals, 52 goals more than the second-place Den babado. His 265 appearances can also rank second in the history of Shenhua, and only Cao Yunding has more than him.
In addition to Moreno, there is a Colombian international who is about to leave the Chinese Super League, and he is Quintero, who has just arrived in the Chinese Super League for less than a year. Recently, Quintero admitted at the press conference that he will negotiate with his old club River Plate, hoping to finalize the transfer in the next few days.
