This morning Beijing time, the Colombian National Athletic Club issued an official announcement, officially announcing the free membership of Giovanni Moreno. It is reported that the contract period between the two parties is one year.
At the same time as the official announcement, the National Athletic Club released a video in which Moreno appeared at the team's home stadium wearing the Colombian National Athletic's No. 70 shirt. National Athletic wrote on official social media: "Attention, Gio (Moreno) is home! He will now wear a green jersey and fight with the team. "Before joining Shenhua, Moreno played for National Athletics.
In the summer of 2012, Moreno joined Shenhua for a transfer fee of 4.5 million euros, forming a luxurious offensive trident with Drogba and Anelka. In the 2014 season, Moreno made 27 appearances, contributing 8 goals and 2 assists, gradually becoming the core of Shenhua.
In the past 10 years, Moreno has made a total of 265 appearances for Shenhua, scoring 86 goals and providing 41 assists, helping the team win the FA Cup twice in 2017 and 2019, and is the spiritual leader and legendary captain of Shenhua.
Now, due to many factors, Shenhua's contract renewal negotiations with Moreno have been temporarily shelved, and Moreno has returned to Colombian National Athletics freely. According to the schedule, the first game of the Season's National Athletic Spring League will be played at 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on January 24, against Corturua.
