On February 16, Beijing time, in the case of many Chinese Super League teams actively introducing reinforcements, and even the team officials announced foreign aid, the Guangzhou team, which had been silent before, suddenly issued an official announcement, but this announcement was not to introduce players, but to send away players. Fans who saw the announcement left messages one after another, and an era was over.
At the same time as Shanghai Harbor officially announced the team's 18-year-old young player Jia Boyan staying in the Grasshopper Team, the Guangzhou team announced on the official social account that the club had terminated its contract with five naturalized players, Gaulat, Alain, Axon, Luo Guofu and Fernando. In the announcement, Guangzhou thanked the 5 naturalized players for the honor they won for the club and wished them all the best in the future.
In fact, although this official announcement of the Guangzhou team was somewhat sudden, it was not unexpected. Before the start of the second stage of the league last season, Fernando and Gaulat had already left Guangzhou, while Alain, Axon and Luo Guofu did not participate in the league after participating in the round of 12, and chose to return to Brazil for vacation. By the time they left, the ending was almost predetermined.
Being able to terminate the contract with these 5 naturalized players is actually a good thing for guangzhou team. According to the news of li Xuan, a media person, the current share reform of the Guangzhou team has not made great progress, and the progress is not as fast as that of the same city team Guangzhou City. Now the official termination of the contract with 5 naturalized players can greatly reduce the operating costs of the team, which is also conducive to the implementation of the stock reform.
Although the contract with Guangzhou has been terminated, some of these naturalized players may still have a chance to return to the Chinese Super League. This morning, the Brazilian media reported that Shanghai Harbor has officially quoted Axon, and if Axon accepts SIPG's offer, then it is very likely that he will represent SIPG again in the Chinese Super League in the new season.
It is worth noting that after the official announcement of the termination of the contract with 5 naturalized players, there is only one naturalized player left in the Guangzhou team at present, but it seems that it is not easy for the Guangzhou team to keep him.
At present, Jiang Guangtai does not lack suitors in the Chinese Super League team, and has already quoted Shanghai Harbor, Axon, and has been exposed to be actively introducing Jiang Guangtai. According to the information of the "Transfer Market Network", Jiang Guangtai and Guangzhou team still have a 3-year contract, which will not expire until 2024. But even so, with the current situation of the Guangzhou team, it is not easy to keep him.
The termination of the contract with the naturalized players completely announced the end of an era for guangzhou team, but this does not mean that this team fell like this. We hope that after the completion of the stock reform, guangzhou team can bring us a new look, and we also hope that these naturalized players can have a good place to go.
