The 2024 Chinese Super League summer transfer window will officially open on June 17, although there is still more than a month left before the opening of the Chinese Super League summer transfer window, but many Chinese Super League teams are beginning to look for new domestic and foreign reinforcements to strengthen the squad in order to complete the task of winning the championship and relegation next season. Teams such as Henan, Changchun Yatai, and Qingdao Manatee, which have not performed very well at the beginning of the new season, may use the summer transfer window of the Chinese Super League to make personnel adjustments.
And the most eye-catching team in the championship team is the favorite Shandong Taishan. After the start of the new season, Shandong Taishan suffered serious injuries. The two strikers Zeka and Pato were both unable to play for Shandong Taishan due to injury. Shandong Taishan can only play in the league with two or three foreign aids, which greatly reduces the overall strength of Shandong Taishan. Shandong Taishan, which is currently ranked fifth, wants to catch up in the second half of the season, and it is particularly important to do a good job in the introduction of reinforcements in the summer window to better cope with the pressure of the AFC Champions League and the league in the second half of the season. Recently, many domestic self-media broke the news: Shandong Taishan is likely to open the summer transfer window, and then introduce the Brazilian foreign aid Malkang of the former Wuhan Three Towns. The 30-year-old Malcom landed in the Chinese Super League in the 2019 season and joined Hebei Huaxia Happiness Team (Hebei Team). However, due to the serious financial crisis encountered by the Hebei team, Malcom had to be sold in the 2021 season to Wuhan Three Towns, which was still playing in the Chinese League at that time. After Malcom joined Wuhan Three Towns, he immediately became the offensive core of the team, and Wuhan Three Towns scored 11 league goals in half a season, helping the Three Towns team win the championship and successfully surpass. In the next 2022 season, Malcom scored 27 goals in 26 rounds of the league, won the Chinese Super League Golden Boot Award this season, and led the newly promoted Wuhan Three Towns to win the Chinese Super League championship.
After helping Three Towns win the Chinese Super League title, Malcom was sold by Wuhan Three Towns to Saudi league side Jeddah National for a high price of 4.5 million euros. However, Malcom, who had a big impact in the Chinese Super League, did not get much of a chance to play in the star-studded Saudi league, and he was later returned to Wuhan Three Towns on loan by Jeddah Nationals. After his loan deal with Wuhan Three Towns expired, Malcom was loaned to a Turkish league side and now has one year left on his contract with Jeddah Nationals, and he is likely to be loaned back to the Chinese Super League again. Malcom has played for many teams in the Chinese Super League, and is quite familiar with the playing environment and overall style of play in the Chinese Super League, and has achieved the Golden Boot of the Chinese Super League, and his personal ability is beyond doubt.
In Choi Kang-hee's tactical system, the central striker position plays a crucial role, and if Shandong Taishan can get a loan deal for Malcom after the summer transfer window opens. Shandong Taishan, who has been plagued by injuries, has finally found an answer that suits him in the center forward position. Shandong Taishan is also expected to take advantage of this transfer deal to go further in the second half of the Chinese Super League AFC Champions League.
