Accidentally! Luneng Golden Boot became the club's first player to terminate his contract in 2024, and the new owner has been confirmed!
Recently, it was reported that Leonardo, the top scorer of Shandong Luneng, has terminated his contract with the club. Leonardo's next step is to join Zhejiang and prove his quality in the league and FA Cup. Leonardo still has a contract with Tarzan now, and if the contract is to be terminated, then a sum of money will be compensated. In response, the Brazilian striker did not ask Tarzan to pay a single compensation.
Seeing that Leonardo was so righteous, the Tarzan club was willing to pay for a salary in his first season. In short, most of Leonardo's salary was paid by the Zhejiang men's basketball team, and the rest was given to the Taishan team. Why Taishan would spend a lot of money to give Leonardo to them made it difficult for Shandong fans to accept.
Leonardo is a very capable player, and he was played by Yatai and Zhejiang last season with a high scoring ability. That's why Leonardo won the 2023 Premier League title. Shandong fans believe that Leonardo's excellent performance for the national team should be reinstated, especially when Zeka is out injured.
However, Luneng fans don't know that when Taishan signed with Leonardo, it was at the end of the Jin Yuan era. Leonardo's salary reached 28 million in Tarzan, which is higher than that of Zeka and Xhaka, which is too high for the team. Therefore, Tarzan always wants to be able to get rid of this high burden.
It just so happened that Zhejiang's team intentionally sent an invitation to Leonardo, so Taishan decided to give the golden boy to the Zhejiang team without a dime. With the departure of Leonardo, the Tarzan team has another foreign player who can play in midfield. As we all know, Tarzan always wants to strengthen the team by bringing in foreign players. For a long time, Tarzan has been struggling with the introduction of players, and now that Leonardo is gone, Luneng has finally found a suitable person to make Tarzan the core of the team.
