Shandong Taishan, the favorite of the Chinese Super League, has had a lot of fate in the past two seasons. Before the start of this season, Shandong Taishan introduced experienced domestic and foreign reinforcements such as Zeka, Zakaishvili, Peng Xinli, and Bi Jinhao in the transfer market to strengthen the depth of the squad. But no one thought that there would be problems with the share reform of Shandong Taishan Club, which would affect the morale of the team. At present, Shandong Taishan is only ranked seventh in the Chinese Super League. In terms of personnel: Xie Wenneng, Jia Feifei and other National Olympic age players were transferred to play for the Chinese Olympic team, while the two foreign aides Zeka and Pato suffered more serious injuries, and most of the time Shandong Taishan could only play with three foreign aids, and the strength was greatly reduced.
Brazilian centre-forward Zeka is currently in the recovery phase and it is unknown when he will return. According to the Jinan Times, hospital experts diagnosed Pato's left inferior pubic ramus and ischial fractures. Surgical treatment will follow, and the recovery cycle and rehabilitation plan will need to be determined after surgery. Thanks to the media and fans and friends for their concern, I hope Pato recovers as soon as possible and returns to the green field as soon as possible! According to the local media in Shandong, Pato is likely to be reimbursed for the season due to injury. Shandong Taishan is likely to revoke Pato's registration and bring in new foreign players after the summer transfer window opens. The 28-year-old joined Shandong Taishan as a free agent in July last year and has played 20 games for Taishan so far, scoring four goals and providing three assists. Injuries aside, Pato's form is sluggish and he doesn't play a lot of minutes, which is the main reason why Taishan gave up on him.
There is no shortage of suitors for Pato, who left Shandong Taishan, and before joining Shandong Taishan, Pato played for a long time in the Indonesian league. And his contract with Shandong Taishan will expire at the end of this season. Indonesian media broke the news that due to Pato's vigorous play in the Indonesian league, when Pato and Taishan team have half a year left on the contract, he has now become the most wanted player for many teams in Indonesia, and there are currently 3 teams that have expressed their attitude that Pato can join the team next year, including Pato's former club Sanmarinda Borneo team, another Indonesian league giant team Pesiga Jakarta directly gave an offer of 100,000 euros, sincerely hoping that Pato can join the team.
Judging from the news given by the Indonesian media, Pato is likely to return to play in the Indonesian league after leaving Shandong Taishan. For Shandong Taishan, with Pato's contract about to expire, it is quite a good deal to be able to sell him for a transfer fee. Pato himself will also be able to get more playing time after returning to the Indonesian league, so this transfer deal is a win-win deal for both Shandong Taishan and Pato.
