On the evening of the 6th, Beijing Guoan Club officially announced that it had officially terminated the contract with South Korean foreign aid Jiang Xiangyou, and he left the team as a free agent. At present, Kang Sang-woo has returned to South Korea to deal with his transfer, and considering that the winter transfer window of the South Korean K-League will close on the 8th, he still has a very good chance of returning to play for the South Korean K-League team.
In a statement, the club wrote: "After friendly consultation, the club and player Jiang Xiangyou have completed the termination of the contract. In the two years of fighting together, Jiang Xiangyou scored 13 goals in 59 appearances, thanks to Jiang for his efforts and hard work for Beijing Guoan, and wishes him all the best in his future career! ”
Born in 1993, Kang started his professional football career with traditional Korean giants Pohang Ironman, where he progressed to become the team's captain, and he joined Beijing Guoan in 2022 with the ability to play multiple positions in central midfield. In his first season in China, the No.17 shirt scored four goals and provided seven assists in 31 games in all competitions. Last season, he improved by wearing the number 7 shirt, scoring nine goals and providing five assists in 28 appearances, making him the team's second-highest scorer behind Fabio.
Just when the outside world thought that the South Korean would start his third Chinese Super League season in Beijing Guoan, the change was unexpected. Since coach Suarez preferred to let Adebenro, who has excellent "single-point blasting" ability, stay in the team as the fifth foreign aid during the winter training, Jiang Xiangyou's position has become very awkward. In addition, the Chinese Super League was on the verge of closing at that time, so although the Koreans had registered as foreign players and stayed in the team temporarily, they could not register.
After the end of the winter training Jiang Xiangyou returned to Beijing with Guoan and personal training, the club also communicated with Jiang Xiangyou again, considering that the winter transfer window of the South Korean K League was not closed until the 8th, if Jiang Xiangyou returned to South Korea at this time, he still had the opportunity to complete the signing with his favorite club and participate in the game as soon as possible, which is still very beneficial for the players to maintain their competitive state, Guoan finally discussed with him to complete the termination procedures, otherwise he would miss this "window period", Kang will not be able to play at a high level of professional play until at least this summer.
As we all know, in the past two years since he came to the Chinese Super League, Jiang Xiangyou has been widely recognized, and his humble and low-key personality has not only been sought after by fans, but also has a very good evaluation of him by Guoan players and coaching staff. "Diligence" is the word his teammates use the most to describe him, and although the Korean is a foreign player, he is fully committed to every training and game, and has no arrogance or temper. Although there are certain barriers to communication with everyone in terms of language, these have not affected everyone's good impression of him. "It's a pity that I didn't stay, and I wish him all the best in the future. Almost every member of the national security team who knew the result expressed such feelings.
Kang Sang-woo, who terminated the contract with Guoan, has returned to South Korea on the 6th, and he will focus all his attention on negotiating with his new owner in the next two days. So far, things are going well and there should be no problem with him returning to the K-League.
