We reported earlier that Shenhua was penalized by FIFA for non-payment of wages, and it will not be possible to register new players in the new season. Therefore, Shenhua was unable to register the newly transferred Shi Xiaotian and Li Songyi with the Chinese Football Association. There are the latest changes today regarding the transfer of these two players.
Shi Xiaotian
According to the website "German Football Transfer Market", both transfers have been cancelled. Shi Xiaotian will join Chinese Super League team Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic. Shi Xiaotian, 32 years old, has played for Guangzhou R&F, Liaoning, Beijing Guoan, and joined Changchun Yatai in 2019. He has made 62 appearances for Yatai, conceded 63 goals and kept 20 clean sheets.
Li Songyi will join the Chinese First Division team Kunshan. Li Songyi is 29 years old and plays as a center back. Last season, Li Songyi went on loan to Tianjin, making 18 appearances and scoring 1 goal.
In addition, Shenhua foreign aid Dunbia posted a farewell to the team on social media: "Dear fans, the goodbye without saying goodbye is sad, but reality sometimes does swallow up our dreams. I was ready to give everything I had for the new season, but my story of Shanghai Shenhua ended here, and I couldn't control the situation now. My contract with Shenhua is over and I will continue my football journey elsewhere. ”
"My passion is limitless and we all know that every end means a new beginning. I believe that the new beginning has a powerful magic. So rest assured, I'll be stronger and more motivated than ever to return. We will see each other again soon at the football stadium. Shanghai will always be in my heart. ”
Bassogo
According to the Oriental Sports Daily, Bassogo has returned to Shanghai on a turnaround and is now about to end the 21-day quarantine period, and if all goes well, he will return to the Kangqiao base next week to officially return to the team. Bassogo, who is still contracted with Shenhua, is basically determined to become the "only seedling" of foreign aid in the team's registration list for the new season.
