As the winter transfer period continues, the Chinese Super League transfer market has successively sent out the news of signing, but unlike the previous reinforcements, this winter window is more of a departure news, naturalized players, foreign aid have left, although the existing level of foreign aid is not as good as in the past, but in the Asian league is still sought-after, especially the Japanese and Korean leagues, the Chinese Super League foreign aid is still a favorite, Taishan, Wuhan team foreign aid have returned to the Korean and Japanese league, in addition, the J League team's poaching is still continuing, the old will be fond.
In January 2021, in order to strengthen the defensive strength, the Chinese Super League giants Shanghai Shenhua introduced Jonić from Sakura Osaka, who contributed 1 goal in 23 appearances that season, although Jonić played a remarkable role, but the team still fell into the relegation group, the results declined, and now it is more encountered with financial problems, the first time there is a situation of unpaid wages, and whether the operator can continue to insist is also unknown, in this context, the outside world also reported that Jonić hopes to leave, and was also actively looking for a new owner.
After some choice, the old owner Osaka Sakura became Jonić's first choice, and the conversation between the two sides went very smoothly. Sakura Osaka officially announced the return of Jonik on February 17, who chose the 22nd, and Jonić also became Shanghai Shenhua Jelly. In the 2017 season, Jonić joined Sakura Osaka, a cooperation of 4 years, the two sides have already formed a tacit understanding, so this return is also a continuation of the frontier.
For the return, the 31-year-old Jonić said that he was very happy, although he is currently in Croatia, but he has started the preparation for the new season, and the new season is fully committed to the J-League. Since Jonić's contract with Shenhua will not have a transfer fee until the end of 2023, according to the general law, this transfer should have a transfer fee, but considering the situation of unpaid wages, some players will choose to obtain free status with unpaid wages, thereby choosing a new owner, so it is not excluded that Jonic will take the above approach.
For Shenhua, the original heavy money to attract reinforcements, now it only took 1 year and sent back, this transaction is not cost-effective. Moreover, with the departure of the defensive backbone, Shenhua still needs to supplement the defense in the new season, but this requires capital investment, and the result of the stock reform will most likely determine the future trend of the club.
