The transfer period in the Chinese Super League continues, and although there is still no clear statement as to when the league will open, many clubs are still preparing for the upcoming season. On April 11, Beijing time, three Chinese international stars simultaneously determined a new home on this day, which also made the cold Chinese Super League transfer market since the opening rarely lively.
The three international players are Zhang Linpeng, Yin Hongbo and Zhang Jiaqi. Zhang Linpeng's whereabouts are already well known, and after the termination of his contract with Guangzhou Evergrande, the 33-year-old legendary defender will join the "mother team" Shanghai Harbor when he debuted. At that time, the fledgling Zhang Linpeng played a famous role in Shanghai East Asia, the predecessor of Shanghai Harbor, and then joined Guangzhou Evergrande, moving towards the road of becoming a generation of superstars. This time, the return to SIPG can also be regarded as a glorious return to the hometown.
Yin Hongbo's transfer from Hebei to Meizhou Hakka is actually a logical result. Recently, Yin Hongbo has been training with Meizhou, and Meizhou general manager Cao Yang is still a mentor, with this relationship, Meizhou is naturally Yin Hongbo's most ideal next home. For the 32-year-old Yin Hongbo, leaving Hebei, where wage arrears are extremely serious, and joining Meizhou, which has a fair financial situation, can be regarded as "escaping from the tiger's mouth". Previously, there was news that Meizhou attracted many international players to take the initiative to submit resumes because of its relatively healthy finances, and now it seems that Yin Hongbo is obviously also favored here.
Zhang Jiaqi joined the Chinese Super League promotion team Zhejiang from Sichuan. For Zhang Jiaqi, being able to return to the stage of the top league late in her career is undoubtedly a good result. Although his international career is not as successful as Zhang Linpeng and Yin Hongbo, in china, Zhang Jiaqi can also be regarded as a midfielder, and his joining can also provide Zhejiang with the midfield hardness it needs.
It is worth noting that as people with the halo of "international football", the transfer of these three players did not incur any transfer fees. Zhang Linpeng and Yin Hongbo both signed a new home on a free basis, and Zhang Jiaqi did the same. The reason why Zhang Linpeng and Yin Hongbo were able to gain freedom was also because the original club was in a serious economic crisis. These international footballers, who were originally worth hundreds of millions of dollars, are now selected for free in the transfer market, which not only reflects the huge changes in the Transfer Market of the Chinese Super League, but also reflects the embarrassing reality that the teams in the Chinese Super League are now tightening their banks and struggling to maintain.
