According to the news of South Korean media "chosun", the captain of South Korean K League team Gangwon FC and central defender Lin Caimin has confirmed that he will join The Chinese Super League team Shenzhen FC. According to the report, Lin Caimin is a foreign aid hand-picked by Shenzhen team coach Li Zhangsu, and the transaction has been basically completed, only the final official announcement procedures are missing, and he will also become the first foreign aid introduced after Li Zhangsu coached Shenzhen.
The media quoted a person familiar with the matter as saying: "Lin Caimin is about to transfer to the Shenzhen team. At present, not only the transfer agreement at the club level, but also the personal treatment has been negotiated. As long as the last relevant agreements are sorted out, Lin Caimin will report to the Shenzhen team. ”
According to the South Korean media, Gangwon FC did not want to sell Lin Caimin, but the player himself hoped to "seek a new challenge" and received a warm invitation from Lee Jang-so, which decided to go to the Chinese Super League to continue his career. It is understood that in Li Zhangsu's plan, Lin Caimin, who plays as a central defender, will become the new defensive core of the Shenzhen team, which shows how much he appreciates this "fellow".
Lin Caimin is 32 years old and has reached a height of 188cm. When he debuted, Lin Caimin used to serve as a striker, but then gradually found a feeling in the center-back position, once worked hard in seongnam, Sangju Sangmu and other teams, became the captain of the team after joining Gangwon FC in 2020, and was selected for the South Korean national team. To date, he has made a total of 173 appearances in the K League, scoring 7 goals. In last season's relegation battle, it was because of Lin Caimin's key goal that he finally helped Gangwon FC stay in the K League.
According to the information on the transfer market website, Lin Caimin's value is about 675,000 euros, equivalent to about 4.86 million yuan, presumably his actual transfer fee will not be very high, belonging to a "good quality and low price" foreign aid. In recent years, as clubs in the Chinese Super League have encountered financial difficulties, low-valued foreign aides like Lin Caimin have also become the first choice for teams to attract reinforcements. This will be the first time in Lin Caimin's career to play abroad, and I hope he can find his own position in the Chinese Super League.
