Speaking of Shanghai Shenhua's transfer move this time, it is really eye-catching. The two foreign aids, Luis and Manafa, plus the joining of Gao Tianyi and Xie Pengfei, have undoubtedly injected fresh blood into Shenhua. First of all, from the perspective of cost performance, Shenhua's recruitment strategy this time can be described as extremely shrewd. Although these two foreign players still have contracts with their original clubs, the transfer fee and annual salary are not too high.

Gao Tianyi's age is very consistent with the team's team formation ideas, and his addition will undoubtedly bring more vitality and competitiveness to the team. And Xie Pengfei, as a player with the ability to start the national team, his addition will greatly enhance the overall strength of the team.
Judging from the introduction of these new signings, Shenhua obviously hopes to maintain the stability of the team in the layout of the new season. While keeping Amadou, Malele and Teixeira, Shenhua not only strengthened the team, but also maintained the balance of the squad through positioning adjustments and precise reinforcements.
