With the new season of the Chinese Super League basically determined to open in April, the two major champions of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Haigang, have also begun to look for suitable target reinforcements in the transfer market. The first signing target of the two teams in the new season is the former Guangzhou (Evergrande) team players.
On February 16, Beijing time, from the sports channel of Shandong Television Station, 28-year-old Guangzhou international Liao Lisheng was basically determined to become the first domestic player signed by Taishan in the new season. Liao Lisheng's contract with Guangzhou expired on October 31 last year, and the club still did not renew Liao Lisheng's contract because of the parent company's difficulties. This means that Liao Lisheng is free to find a new owner, and the 2021 Chinese Super League champion Taishan team also issued an invitation to Liao Lisheng.
Born in 1993 as a midfielder, Liao Lisheng joined Guangzhou Evergrande in 2013 and has become the main force of the team, Liao Lisheng played 17 times for Guangzhou last season, contributed 1 goal and 2 assists, delivered 21 key passes, 26 steals, 27 interceptions and 16 clearances, and performed well. In addition, Liao Lisheng has also made four appearances for the Chinese men's national football team. After Xu Xin joined the harbor, Liao Lisheng was indeed a very powerful supplement to the Taishan team in the back position.
In addition to Liao Lisheng, the whereabouts of Axon, another main international of Guangzhou last season, also surfaced. According to the Brazilian media "Bahia News Network", the Shanghai seaport officially offered Axon.
Because of the crisis in Guangzhou, Axon returned to Brazil with the club before the start of the second stage of the Chinese Super League last season. Although Axon has previously been linked to several teams in the First Division, it is more likely that he will return to play in the Chinese Super League. After the harbor sent away foreign aid Arnautovic, there was a clear shortcoming in the center forward position. At this stage, Axon's return is undoubtedly a very wise choice. Axon's stay in the Chinese Super League is also good news for the Chinese men's national football team.
Axon, 32, previously played for Harbor from 2016 to 2019 and helped the team win the first Chinese Super League title in team history. Therefore, when he joined the harbor this time, it can also be regarded as "two into the palace".
