Oscar leads the harbor chapter, and the samba cyclone may set off a storm in the new season
The 2024 Chinese Super League season is about to begin, and the transfer window for the Chinese Super League has been closed. Compared with the previous two seasons, the popularity of the Chinese Super League has been very high, which can be seen from the introduction of foreign aid by various teams, and it also allows people to see the vitality of the Chinese Super League that has not appeared for a long time. According to the current pattern of the Chinese Super League, the number of teams is determined by foreign aid, and the bottom line is determined by local players, and 5 of the 16 teams have signed up, including Chengdu Rongcheng, Beijing Guoan, and Nantong Zhiyun. Shanghai Evergrande is the most valuable of the 16 clubs, topping the list with €17.7 million. Shanghai SIPG has registered five foreign players, including two experienced players, Oscar, Vargas, and three new signings, Chitardini, Russa, Gustavo.
The 32-year-old was once a member of the Brazilian national team and now has a career as a £5 million midfielder. With the passing of the Golden Yuan era, Oscar is also the only superstar in the Chinese Super League at present, and he has led the team to two league and one Europa League superstar during his time at Chelsea. Oscar arrived in the Hong Kong Premier League from Chelsea in January 2017 for £60 million, his eighth year in the league, and if he hadn't slashed his salary this season, he could well have been in the league for himself. Oscar made 209 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 61 goals and providing 110 assists.
The 26-year-old, who played a warm-up game for Argentina, is a goalscorer worth £4 million. Vargas began his football career at Sarsfield, Argentina, and in July 2019 he joined Espanyol for €10.5 million, partnering Wu Lei, with whom he won the 2020-2021 La Liga match. In August 2022, Vargas joined Porto for £4 million and won the 2023 Chinese Super League championship with Wu Lei. He has made 48 appearances for Hong Kong so far, and while his goal is still far from Oscar's, he has scored just 18 goals.
The 30-year-old is a Brazilian player who is valued at £1.5 million. Citardini is a player for Brazilian football club Santos, having played against Bahia at Atlético Paranaense. Citardini's best form came at Atletico Paranaense, scoring 15 goals and providing five assists in 172 appearances over five seasons, starting the first three years before gradually falling back to the bench in the last two years. He has led teams to Brazil and the Paulista Cup, both of which he has led. Chitardini completed his loan spell from Bahia at Porto until the end of the season.
The 27-year-old Brazilian midfielder Jusha has £1.2 million. Djussa is a member of the Brazilian national team, having represented Internacional Brasil, Fortaleza and Crucello, as well as spending time with the Qatari sports team, but he has never won any prestigious honours. In February 2024, he joined Shanghai SIPG from Fortaleza for €3.7 million and missed his first appearance in the Chinese Super League after receiving a yellow card against Shanghai Shenhua in the Premier League.
Gustavo is 29 years old, plays as a striker, a Brazilian, and is worth £600,000. Gustavo has played for a long time in Brazil, having played for Corinthians, Bahia and Inter Milan in Brazil, before joining Jeonbuk Hyundai for €2.5 million in July 2020 as a regular starter, playing 139 games for Jeonbuk Hyundai, scoring 55 goals and providing 15 assists. Gustavo won two K-League titles, two KFA Cup doubles and two KFA Cup titles. In February 2024, Gustavo did not sign a new contract with the club because his contract with the club had expired.
Porto, composed of five foreign players, has two major characteristics: five foreign players, two goalscorers and three midfielders, making Porto the best attacking partner in the entire Chinese Super League, especially Oscar, whose defense and defense in the middle is second to none in the entire league; And the five are all South American, four are Brazilian, and one is Argentine, and they all have good work on their feet. The two sides cooperate with each other to a certain extent, which means that there will be a big explosion in the new season of the Super League.
