Reporter Wang Wei reports The 2025 season is about to start, most of the players of the original Guangzhou team have found their next home, and it is already certain that 6 people will join the Chinese Super League team, 13 will join the Chinese A team, 1 will join the Chinese B team, and some players are negotiating with potential next players to find a suitable team for the new season.

At present, 6 Guangzhou players have joined the Chinese Super League team, they are Wang Shilong, Xu Bin, Liu Langzhou, Liao Jintao, Huo Shenping and Li Xingxian.

As a defender, Wang Shilong has no shortage of suitors, as early as the end of the 2024 season, it was rumored that he was expected to join Shanghai Shenhua, on January 8 this year, Shanghai Shenhua officially announced the transfer, and in the Super Cup match on the evening of February 7, Wang Shilong entered the Shenhua team squad.

Xu Bin and Liu Langzhou, who have been selected for the national youth team many times, also received olive branches from the Chinese Super League team, and on January 26, Qingdao West Coast officially announced that Xu Bin and Liu Langzhou joined at the same time. When Shao Jiayi, the head coach of Qingdao West Coast, was an assistant coach of the U20 national team, Xu Bin and Liu Langzhou were the main players of the U20 national team at that time.

As the midfielder with the most starts for the Guangzhou team in the 2024 season, Liao Jintao was contested by many Chinese Super League teams, and finally he chose the Dalian InBev team, a new Chinese Super League team. Liao Jintao said that he will challenge himself on a new stage in the new season, and he is looking forward to playing his own level at Dalian InBev and striving to contribute more to the team.

Goalkeeper Huo Shenping was selected into the Guangdong team of the Provincial and Hong Kong Cup at the end of last year, and received an invitation from the Zhejiang team during the preparation. On February 13, the Zhejiang team officially announced that Huo Shenping officially joined.

Li Xingxian, who entered the first team of the Guangzhou team in the 2022 season, was loaned to the Haikou Mingcheng team in the middle of the 2024 season, and on January 17, he officially joined the Henan team.

Because this group of players in the Guangzhou team is very young and has potential, they are in the rising period of their careers, and they finished third in the Chinese League last season without being favored, and they are only one step away from the Chinese Super League, so they are chased by many teams.

At the end of the 2024 season, the former head coach of the Guangzhou team, Salvador, jumped to the Chinese League A team Chongqing Tongliang Dragons as the head coach, and Salvador, who had been coaching these players for many years, recruited a number of old subordinates, among them, Wu Yongqiang, Zhang Zhixiong, Bai Yutao, Wu Zitong, and Wang Jie were all young players excavated by El Salvador during the Guangzhou team, and these players joined El Salvador collectively this season. In addition, foreign central defender Sadauskas, who played for Guangzhou last season, has also joined Chongqing Tonglianglong, and Guangzhou defender Wang Wenxuan is currently negotiating with Tonglianglong, and he is also expected to join El Salvador. If Wang Wenxuan does make the trip, at least seven Guangzhou players will be reunited with El Salvador in Chongqing.

In addition to El Salvador's appeal, more importantly, Chongqing Tonglianglong, who finished fifth in the Chinese League last season, has made ambitious plans for the 2025 season, with a number of Guangzhou players joining, improving the overall strength of Tonglianglong. In the new season of 2025, under the leadership of Salvador, this group of players who joined from the Guangzhou team will help Tonglianglong to attack the season goal.

Guangzhou midfielder Wang Shijie, winger Abduwahap and midfielder Wang Junyang, born in 2007, were introduced by Shaanxi United Club, a new team in the Chinese League, and will continue to play in the Chinese League in the new season. Guangzhou striker Wu Junjie signed a contract with Suzhou Dongwu, and defender Chen Quanjiang joined Guangxi Pingguo FC and will continue to play in the Chinese League in the new season. In addition, Guangzhou team striker Zhang Dachi joined the Chinese B team Wuxi Wugou, and the former foreign aid Alegria joined the Portuguese League Portimão team.

Hou Yu, the former captain of the Guangzhou team, and Yang Hao, a winger, have been training with the Guangzhou Leopards, a new army in the Chinese League, and the Guangzhou Leopards have recently announced that the two have joined. As a local player from Guangdong, Hou Yu continues to play in the team in Guangzhou, hoping to contribute to the team in his hometown.

In addition to the above 22 players who have been officially announced or basically determined to go down, there are also some Guangzhou team players who are still in contact with potential next home, including goalkeeper Ashan and Aishajan Kurban, Islam Yasheng, Waili Kurban, Li Jiahao, Yang Dejiang, Han Kunda and others, some of them are trying out in Meizhou Hakka, Guangzhou Dandelion and other teams, and it is estimated that several people will get contracts. Aishajan Kurban, who was injured last season, is undergoing rehabilitation and is fully adapted to the demands of the professional league. Foreign player Beniarosa became a free agent at the end of last season's contract and is still looking for a home.

In addition to this group of first-team players of the Guangzhou team, some players from the current U17 echelon of the football school have joined the Guangzhou Dandelion team, the new army of the Chinese Second Division, and they will participate in the new season of the Chinese Second League.
