With the formal involvement of Jiuzhi Group, Shanghai Shenhua is gradually on the right track, the club's long-term wage arrears can be alleviated, and therefore successfully passed the Chinese Super League entrance examination of the Football Association. At the same time, Shenhua's reinforcements for the new season are also progressing steadily. The two new foreign aiders, Malelai and Amadou, have arrived in Shanghai to work with the team.
Chinese American player Yann Xinli has performed well in Shenhua's trial, and the club is in the process of naturalization for him. However, the process is complicated and cumbersome, and Yann Xinli may not be able to play in the Chinese Super League as a local player in the short term. In terms of internal reinforcements, Shenhua welcomed four local players for trial: Song Yue, Xu Tianmiao, Xu Hui and Bao Yaxiong. In the past few seasons, Shenhua has suffered repeated setbacks in the introduction of internal reinforcements, investing heavily but having few key players. Famous players such as Qin Sheng, Zhao Mingjian, Yang Xu and Feng Xiaoting have left the team or been marginalized. The club's attitude towards signing is becoming more and more rigorous, and new recruits should not be too old and have high ability requirements. According to the latest news, in addition to Bao Yaxiong, the other four players have not been recognized by the coaching staff, the possibility of staying in the team is low. Shenhua is still looking for younger, stronger local players. Dai Weijun, the former Shenzhen midfield core, became the key target of Shenhua's winter reinforcement. With Shenzhen on the verge of disbanding, Dai Weijun is basically a free agent, and has been rumored to be with a number of Chinese Super League clubs, including Shenhua, Wuhan Sanzhen and Beijing Guoan. Currently, Shenhua does not have the advantage in the competition for Dai Weijun. Wuhan Sanzhen, as a strong team in the Chinese Super League, is financially strong and attractive to Dai Weijun. Beijing Guoan, with its rich history and a number of players on good terms with Dai Weijun, is expected to sign him this season if it can offer an attractive contract. Shenhua is not short of funds, but still faces challenges. According to reports, the club still owes wages to foreign aid worker Adrian, and if Adrian sues FIFA, it will be difficult to lift Shenhua's transfer ban. We look forward to Shenhua resolving all salary arrears as soon as possible to ensure that the team's signings go smoothly and to lay the foundation for a successful new season.
