Shanghai Shenhua leaves ACL special foreign slot unused
On the last day of the Chinese Super League transfer window, Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Port announced the signing of new foreign players. The Chinese Football Association has set up a special foreign player slot for Chinese Super League teams to achieve certain results in the Asian Champions League. However, among the three teams participating in the ACL, only Shanghai Shenhua did not use the special foreign player slot.
Guoan signs 8 foreign players + 1 naturalized player
Beijing Guoan already has two foreign center-backs, Spajic and Ramos, and used the two ACL foreign player slots for midfield and forward positions. Shadrack and Duziak both have experience playing in the Bundesliga, which is the operation of the club's director, German Michael Mayer. Abreu's performance this year has been average, while Shadrack is fast and can play on the wing or as a forward, fitting well into Montgomery's tactical system.
Duziak is a versatile player who can partner with Conte in midfield, play defensively, or even fill in at left-back. Guoan signed two foreign players not only to perform well in the ACL but also to prepare for next year. If the two foreign players perform well, they can be directly registered for the Chinese Super League.
Spajic wears No.25 jersey
Guoan announced their latest squad for the summer transfer window, with Spajic replacing Enkolo replacing Enkolo, and he will wear the No.25 jersey. Spajic has been training with the team, and Guoan's center-back position is no longer a concern for the second half of the season.
Shenhua's limited goals this year
After Gai's injury, Shanghai Shenhua has no high goals for this year and is waiting to make a comeback next year. Guoan currently has 8 foreign players + 1 naturalized player, and their ACL top-tier squad has emerged, hoping to set a record for the number of foreign players on the field at the same time.
