On April 19, Beijing time, the Brazilian foreign assistant Kaldek of the Chinese Super League Shenzhen team revealed in an interview with Brazilian media that he had terminated the contract with Shenzhen Football Club for legitimate reasons. Since he has not received his salary for the past five months, he has been able to enter the transfer market on a free basis. Kaldek became the second foreign player to leave the team after Quintero. So, what is the fate of Achim Peng, a deep-footed foreign player who played in Tianjin?
Alain Kaldek has released his contract with Shenzhen
At the beginning of March, some media people broke the news on personal social media that Shenzu had been in arrears since October last year, and there was a boycott of the team, and the player Dai Weijun had even applied to the Football Association for arbitration. As the wage arrears became too long, the players no longer chose to endure, and the problem officially surfaced. What is unexpected is that in the previous few seasons, I have been accustomed to the depth of large-scale investment, and I have not been able to escape the dilemma of insufficient operating funds. Nowadays, clubs can only choose to "live a life" in a calculating way, and are forced to join the camp of open source and throttling. In the new season, Shenzhen Football Will formulate an annual budget in strict accordance with the "investment cap" regulations announced by the Chinese Football Association, squeeze out the bubble, and return to rationality.
Although the club acknowledges the existing wage arrears, when it will be resolved is a difficult problem that cannot give an accurate answer. Today, the reality is that foreign aid has chosen to flee after more than five months of unpaid wages. Quintero, who joined Argentine giants River Plate on loan at the beginning of the year, has been confirmed to join officially as a free agent. Argentine media revealed that Shenzhen failed to pay Quintero's salary arrears by April 15, and Quintero has the right to terminate his contract with Shenzhen and sign a new franchise contract with River Plate after restoring his freedom. Although River Plate would have to pay a $5 million buyout fee if he wanted to get it after The Terme Took over, Deep Foot had already given up on the expensive buyout fee when he gave up paying his salary.
It's not a good story: Quintero, River Plate and Shenzhen Football Club, staged a soap opera
A scene similar to Quintero's is now playing out again in Kaldek. Since Kaldek continued his big contract with Chongqing when he joined Shenzu in 2021, due to the budget of the new season, he could not bear his high salary of Shenzu and did not have the will to retain this foreign aid. Kaldek, 33, joined Chongqing Lifan from Sao Paulo in July 2016 and made 108 appearances for Chongqing, scoring 57 goals and completing 15 assists. A year ago, Kaldek moved to Deep Foot, playing in 19 games for the team, scoring 12 goals and completing 3 assists. Facing his six-year journey in China, Kaldek said: "I have left my mark on China, including goals, numbers and records. Now it's time to move on and wait for the next challenge in your career. ”
Five months into arrears, Alain Kadeke terminated his partnership with Shenzhen Football Club and left China
Kaldek is gone, but what about Achimpen? According to the Turkish media SPORX, Turkish giants Fenerbahce have asked shenzhen to buy the Ghanaian star. Fenerbahce, who is currently second in the Turkish Super League, is planning a squad for next season, and on May 23, the season of the Turkish Super League will come to an end, and they hope to pay a transfer fee of 5 million euros to take Achimpen away and strengthen the strength of the team's front.
Turkish media: Achimpen, who plays for Shenzhen, is favored by Fenerbahce and they hope he will join next season.
Although Achimpen's contract with the Shenzhen team will not expire until 2024, if Achimpen is not owed wages, then everything is easy to say, but if Shenzu also owes Achimpen's salary, then how to solve this salary arrears is believed to also affect Achimpen's decision. Because once he follows the example of teammates Kaldek and Quintero and applies for FIFA to intervene in arbitration on the grounds of unpaid wages, then the Shenzhen team is likely to face a situation of double money and people. At present, Achimpen is already training with the Shenzhen team, and he has also continuously posted training dynamics on his social media.
Although Achimpen is training with the team, his future is probably not settled. Like Kaldek, Achimpen also brought the salary of his original contract to the new club when he joined Shenzu in 2021, and was not affected by the "salary cap". Judging from his performance last season, due to the deep foot play, he did not play the characteristics of the long-distance attack and counterattack during his time with Tianjin. In the new season, whether he will be valued under the new coach Lee Jang-so is still unknown. In February, Kaldek did not choose to return to Brazil for the team's winter training, and now he has chosen to leave, for Achimpen, who may bring a transfer fee of 5 million euros to the team, where will his future be?
