Worryingly, the rumored transfer of Sergio, the focal point of naturalization in Chinese soccer, seems to be a foregone conclusion. It is reported that the naturalized player of Brazilian descent is about to join the arms of Beijing Guoan. Sergio's arrival will undoubtedly inject fresh blood into Guoan's midfield, but for Changchun Yatai, it will mean the loss of an offensive and defensive pivot who can turn the tide of the game at critical moments. His departure will undoubtedly bring a huge blow to the team's morale.
In the list of contract expiration, Liu Yun, Wang Jinxian, Yuan Mincheng and Liao Chengjian and other four strength of the players also attracted attention. They are either the backbone of the team, or a key replacement, their stay or departure will directly affect the strength of Changchun Yatai's lineup and tactical deployment in the next season. In the face of these expiring contracts, clubs need to weigh carefully, both for the future of the team, but also to respect the players' personal choices and career planning.
However, sustaining the hearts of players is not easy. In the arena of professional soccer, money, honor and platform size are the key elements for players to consider. As a traditional powerhouse, Changchun Yatai's performance in the league has been inconsistent in recent years, which has undoubtedly weakened its attraction to players. In order to avoid a massive loss of talent, Changchun Yatai urgently needs to develop a set of effective strategies. Otherwise, the team may face a serious challenge of talent loss.
