The Chinese Super League is over, and at present, only Shandong Taishan, Wuhan Three Towns, and Zhejiang team still have AFC Champions League matches. And the transfer of players at the end of the year is about to begin, so let's take a look at the players whose contracts have expired in various Chinese teams and where they may go.
A Shanghai Port team, midfielder Zhang Huachen and former international Mai Tijiang, whose contracts expire on December 31.
1 Zhang Huachen is 25 years old, his contract expires on December 31, he made 22 appearances last season, and should be regarded as a quasi-main or main substitute, but this season Zhang Huachen only made 1 appearance because of Xu Xin's arrival. Zhang Huachen is only 25 years old, and he has basically not made a name for himself in the harbor, so he should take advantage of his youth to go to other teams that are lower in the table to fight for a chance to play.
2 Maitijan, a former international whose contract expires on December 31, played 17 games last season and has been reused this season, making 28 appearances, scoring two goals and providing three assists. Although he is 33 years old, according to the current point of view, Maitijiang's position in the harbor team is relatively stable, and there is a high probability that his contract will be renewed.
3 Liu Zhurun, 22, a player of the National Olympic team, whose contract expires on December 31. He made 17 appearances last season, contributing 2 goals and 1 assist, but has 1 appearance this season. As a young striker, he used to be the key training object of the harbor team, like to break through with the ball at high speed, but the absolute speed is average, if you do not change the style, it is difficult to have a bright day in the Chinese Super League, especially with Wu Lei in Li Shenglong, Liu Zhurun should make a move, go to the weak team or the Chinese League to practice.
2. Shandong Taishan.
Hu Jinghang, a 26-year-old striker whose contract expires at the end of February '24, has made nine appearances for Shandong Taishan this season, contributing three goals and two assists. Hu Jinghang seems to have played a game this season, that is, against the Henan team, and scored a hat trick in that game, he who had been forgotten by Cui Kangxi and Shandong fans had a sense of existence again, Kangxi gave him the opportunity to play in the AFC Champions League again, and served as the starting center in the AFC Champions League group stage against Kaya FC in the Philippines, but his performance was mediocre. It is said that Hu Jinghang is ready to leave the team at the end of the season.
3. Zhejiang team.
Striker Gaudí, 33, whose contract expires at the end of the year. Gaudí is also a famous player in the Chinese Super League. In August, Gaudí fractured his ribs in the match between the Zhejiang team and Nantong Zhiyun, but the tenacious Gaudi still made a recent comeback and participated in the AFC Champions League with the Zhejiang team.
4. Chengdu Rongcheng.
1 Zhang Gong, 31 years old, after joining the Chengdu Rongcheng team from Guangzhou City this season, he also maintained a stable appearance at first, but his luck was really bad, he was injured in training in June, and his ligament suffered a serious injury, which led to the reimbursement of the season, and there is a high probability that he will not renew his contract 2 Wu Guichao, 26 years old.
In the 2021 and 2022 seasons, Wu Guichao made 29 and 24 appearances respectively, but this season Wu Guichao only made 2 appearances for the Chengdu team, and he should have a place in the Central League next season.
5. Beijing Guoan.
1 Yang Liyu, winger, contract expires at the end of the year, Yang Liyu transferred to Guoan and only signed a one-year contract, it feels as if both sides complement each other and trust, but Yang Liyu's ability is still good, and he performed well in the early part of this season, but after the injury, there seems to be a psychological shadow, afraid of injury, 2 goals are basically hidden, it is understandable that if the injury is not conducive to the renewal of the contract or transfer negotiations next season. For Yang Liyu Guoan, he definitely doesn't want to let go, but if there is a problem with Guoan's funds, even if he wants to stay, it depends on Yang Liyu's attitude, and with Yang Liyu's ability, he can find a job in any team in the Chinese Super League.
2 Li Ke, Gao Tianyi and both of them have contracts expiring at the end of the year, and they are both active international players. Although the national security is financially stretched, unless an extreme situation occurs, they will never be allowed to leave the team freely.
3 Zhang Yuning is currently China's No. 1 center forward, 27 years old, his contract expires at the end of the year, and he is also the No. 1 star in Guoan, who has hardly played much this season because of injury, and Zhang Yuning has not performed well in Guoan or the national team after recovering from injury at the end of the season. However, Beijing Guoan will definitely make every effort to renew the contract with Zhang Yuning, but if the financial problem cannot be solved, it is also a question whether Zhang Yuning, who is being chased by others, will accept Guoan, especially in the case of foreign aid center Fabian's outstanding performance, whether Zhang Yuning can coexist is also a problem, Zhang Yuning will definitely not accept Guoan's departure, but if Guoan's results are good, fans will slowly accept it over time.
6. Changchun Yatai will have 4 local strikers whose contracts expire at the end of the year, namely Tan Long (35 years old), Cheng Changcheng (32 years old), Tian Yuda (22 years old), and Bi Jinhao (32 years old).
1 Although Tan Long is old, he is the current main striker of the national football team and the Yatai team, and he will definitely be able to renew his contract.
2 Bi Jinhao and Cheng Changcheng are both past their years, Bi Jinhao is more efficient in scoring goals, and he can also play the central defender position, and the salary requirements are not high, and it is estimated that the contract will be renewed. Cheng Changcheng should go to the Chinese League to find a team.
3 The young player Tian Yuda is very likely to return to Beijing Guoan after the expiration of the loan period, or then loan to other teams, it is best to go to the Chinese League A team for training.
Seven Henan team.
Zhao Yuhao, 30 years old, used to be the main defender of the Hebei team, with long hair and a star style, full of European fans. In the Jin Yuan era, Zhao Yuhao was also worth more than 100 million yuan and was selected for the national team. Zhao Yuhao has made 16 appearances for Henan this season, including six starts, and the 30-year-old can play both at the back and at centre-back, making him a versatile backfielder. If Henan does not renew his contract, he can easily find a job in the middle and lower reaches of the Chinese Super League.
8. Meizhou Hakka.
Ye Chugui, 29 years old, forward or frontcourt, Ye Chugui should be the star of Meizhou, quite powerful, and can enter the national team. This season, Ye Chugui has made a total of 30 appearances for Meizhou Hakka, 27 of which were starts, scoring three goals and five assists. The 29-year-old Ye Chugui is at the age of his career, and Ye Chugui, who was born in Meixian County, will not leave his hometown team easily. But if you want to make more money, I believe you will become a very sought-after player.
Nine Cangzhou Lions.
1 Zheng Kaimu, 31, has made 28 appearances for the team this season and is the absolute main midfielder in the team's midfield. But Cangzhou's funding problem can't be solved, Zheng Kaimu will definitely leave to go to the Chinese Super League, and any middle and lower reaches team can have a place.
2 Lin Chuangyi, 30 years old, used to be a Shanghai Port player, and Zheng Kaimu is in the same situation, go to the middle and lower reaches of the Chinese Super League.
10. Nantong Zhiyun.
Veteran Wang Song, 40, has made 29 appearances for Nantong Zhiyun this season, including 16 starts. At present, Wang Song has not said that he will retire, and it will be no problem to play for another year.
In addition to the above-mentioned players, Dalian Renren and Shenzhen, the two teams that have been relegated in the Chinese Super League this season, as well as Wuhan Three Towns, which have failed in the share reform, will have a large number of players leaving, and the player supermarket will open soon.
There are also some players whose contracts have not expired, such as Feng Jin, who is on loan to Qingdao Manatee from Shanghai Port, and Tian Guinong of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, who will also find a new team. Maybe Feng Jin returned to Sichuan, and Tian returned to agriculture to go to Yunnan.
