A few days ago, according to Shandong media reports, the Taishan team has already made a move to get Wei Shihao to join. In order to allow Wei Shihao to join the team smoothly, the Taishan team also broke the previous convention of only considering free local players. After Hao Wei took over the Taishan team, when he brought in the team's local signings, he preferred free agents whose contracts expired. Xu Xin and Shi Ke in the 2021 season, and Liao Lisheng, who was introduced from Evergrande last season, were all introduced by Hao Wei for the Taishan team for free.
Xu Xin, Shi Ke, and Liao Lisheng did not choose to renew their contracts after their contracts with their respective old clubs expired. On the contrary, their advantage of free agency caught the attention of Taishan coach Hao Wei. After a comprehensive investigation, Hao Wei decided to bring in the above new signings. When the Taishan team was recruited in the early stage this season, the arrival of Sun Guowen, Tong Lei and Hu Jinghang did not cost the team a penny.
However, the Taishan team encountered some setbacks when they were ready to bring in Wei Shihao for free. Wei Shihao himself still has a contract with Evergrande, in which case the Taishan team must pay a transfer fee if they want to bring him in. Wei Shihao also made great sacrifices last season in order to be able to regain his free body. Wei Shihao reached an agreement with Evergrande that he would play for the team for a free season, and the club would give him free agency.
As a result, Wei Shihao gave Evergrande a free season, but the team repented. The reason why Evergrande backtracked was very simple, that is, the club was too short of money. Evergrande hopes to sell Wei Shihao to bring back some of the team's operating capital. Therefore, Evergrande insisted on a transfer fee so that the Taishan team could bring in Wei Shihao. The Taishan team feels that players like Wei Shihao are a very scarce resource in the local ace.
So in this case, the Taishan team regarded Wei Shihao as a treasure and was ready to pay for him. After Wei Shihao was brought in by the Taishan team, he will occupy the main position of the team. The Taishan team faces the test of multi-line operations in the Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League in the new season, and needs the help of fierce players like Wei Shihao. I hope that Wei Shihao can perform well in the game and help the team achieve good results.
