The reporter reported coldly With the arrival of Palacios in Wuhan, the foreign aid of the Chinese Super League in the new season is basically in place. The 16 teams introduced 37 new foreign players, nearly half of the total number of foreign players. Most clubs are cautious about bringing in new foreign players, trying to retain foreign players who have proven their strength last season, but the two promoted teams, Yunnan Yukun and Dalian InBev, have both signed four new foreign players to escort relegation in the new season.

In the new season, the 16 Chinese Super League clubs have invested nearly 10 million euros in the transfer fee of foreign aid, with only 1.9 million euros (Dawan, Beijing Guoan), Leonardo (1.3 million euros, Shanghai Port) ranking next, and only Vital (950,000 euros, Shanghai Port) and Mineiro (950,000 euros, Shanghai Shenhua) in the 1 million euro transfer fee range, and then Bupenza (800,000 euros, Zhejiang team) and Maderuga (760,000 euros, Shandong Taishan).

Compared with 90% of the transfer fees of new foreign players falling below 1 million euros, the market value of foreign players in the Chinese Super League in the new season has attracted more attention. With the value of 1 million euros as a watershed, for the Chinese Super League clubs that rely more on foreign aid, the value is a more significant reference for the strength of foreign aid.

In the new season, there are 34 foreign players worth more than 1 million euros in the Chinese Super League, distributed in 13 clubs. Defending champions Shanghai Port, who lost Oscar and Vargas, have brought in three new signings, Leonardo, Vital and Gabriel, at a cost of 2.25 million euros, making it the Chinese Super League club that has invested the most in foreign aid in the winter window. Four of the five foreign players of Shanghai Port are worth more than 1 million euros, with a total of 9.5 million euros, which is also the top of the Chinese Super League, of which Leonardo (4 million euros) ranks second in the Chinese Super League and Vital (2.5 million euros) is tied for fifth. With a large investment in foreign aid, Shanghai Port is also regarded as the number one favorite to win the Chinese Super League championship in the new season.

Beijing Guoan, who introduced the bid king Dawan (1.9 million euros) and Serginho in the winter window, is second only to Shanghai Port in terms of investment in the introduction of new foreign aid, and Beijing Guoan is also worth more than 1 million euros in 4 foreign aids, and Serginho (1.8 million euros), who joined as a free agent, is a naturalized target player, and the salary cost of the introduction is not low. Because of the addition of Dawan and Serginho, the total value of Beijing Guoan's 5 foreign aides reached 8.4 million euros, ranking second in the Chinese Super League, which naturally made Beijing fans look forward to the prospects of the new season.

Shandong Taishan signed Brazilian central defender Ghazal and midfielder Madeluga in the winter window to strengthen the midfield and backfield. To make a difference in the new season, it will still depend on the Chinese Super League value king Cressan (4.5 million euros) and the attacking trident of Kazaishvili and Zeka. 5. Shandong Taishan, which is worth 8.3 million euros in foreign aid, is one of the favorites for the new season of the Chinese Super League, at least in terms of foreign aid value.

In contrast, Shanghai Shenhua, who missed the league title at the last minute of last season, only brought in center Mineiro in the winter window, retaining last season's 4 foreign aids, 5 foreign aides with a total value of only 5.3 million euros, and the highest being Andre (1.5 million). Chengdu Rongcheng only introduced Sierra Leone winger Caron, who is worth only 400,000 euros, in the winter window, and the total value of 5 foreign aid is only 4.5 million euros. Measured by the value of foreign aid, Rongcheng needs to put a question mark if it wants to continue to impact the AFC Champions League qualification.

The biggest surprise for the new season of Chinese Super League foreign players came from the west coast of Qingdao, where last season's relegation team signed Ghanaian center Aziz Yakubu and Brazilian central defender Riccelli for free, two new signings worth up to 2.5 million euros. Aziz has already played in the AFC Champions League in Wuhan Three Towns as early as 2023, and Ricelli is from Famalicão in the Portuguese Super League, which is strong enough to help Qingdao West Coast relegation. The two new signings make the total value of foreign aid on the west coast of Qingdao reach 7.3 million euros, ranking fourth in the Chinese Super League after Shanghai Port, Beijing Guoan and Shandong Taishan.

After the Zhejiang team lost the team's golden boot Leonardo, they signed Bupenza (3.3 million euros), who is the third most valuable player in the Chinese Super League, at a low price, and he is the hope of the Zhejiang team to hit better results in the new season. The Gabon center forward accounts for almost half of the team's total value (6.65 million euros), which also makes the total value of Zhejiang's foreign aid ranked fifth in the Chinese Super League.

In addition to the two promoted polo teams, Qingdao West Coast has also signed four new foreign players, in addition to five clubs have signed three new foreign players. There are 14 new foreign players worth more than 1 million euros, distributed in 9 clubs, which shows that the Chinese Super League clubs attach importance to cost-effective foreign aid.

Different from last year, in addition to continuing to pursue the high cost performance of foreign aid, this year's naturalized players and Hong Kong and Taiwan players in the Chinese Super League have also become new hot spots. The two naturalization targets, Serginho and Oscar, are the top targets of Beijing Guoan and Yunnan Yukun, respectively, and Yunnan Yukun also signed naturalized striker Hou Yongyong from Norway for 500,000 euros.

In addition, Chengdu Rongcheng is in talks to sign Delgado on loan and also sign Yang Mingyang, a naturalized defender from Switzerland. Shanghai Shenhua signed naturalized player Li Ke and 19-year-old mixed-race center Wang Hanlong, who grew up in Slovenia and trained in the giant Olympia echelon. Qingdao West Coast has signed 19-year-old right-back Yang Xi, who grew up in Spain and comes through the Espanyol academy. There are also Beijing Guoan's goalkeeper Zheng Tuluo, Zhejiang team's Qian Jie and others, if Alan and Fernando, who are already free bodies, can find their next home in the Chinese Super League in the new season, the number of naturalized players will be more.

Hong Kong and Taiwan players are also a major attraction of the Chinese Super League in the new season. At present, there are as many as 12 Hong Kong and Taiwan players in the Chinese Super League, covering 75% of the clubs in the Chinese Super League, two more than last season, and the number has set a record in the history of the Chinese Super League. There are three new Hong Kong and Taiwan players in the winter window, all of whom are Hong Kong players, including Hong Kong, China and France mixed winger Li Xiaoheng (Shandong Taishan), left-back Sun Mingqian (Tianjin Jinmen Tigers) and attacking midfielder Huang Haojun (Qingdao Manatee). Because Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan players do not account for foreign aid quotas, if they can enter the Hong Kong and Taiwan teams to compete in the international A-level competition, their strength can still gain a foothold in the Chinese Super League.

At present, there are 9 players from Hong Kong, China, 3 players from Chinese Taipei in the Chinese Super League, and Chinese Taipei player Zhou Dingyang from Chengdu Rongcheng is worth 1.4 million euros, ranking 20th in the Chinese Super League, which is the highest among the non-foreign players in the Chinese Super League. Zhou Dingyang's outstanding performance in the Chinese Super League is one of the main reasons why Hong Kong and Taiwan players have become a hot spot for Chinese Super League recruitment. The value of left-backs Chen Jinyi (Shanghai Shenhua) and Sun Mingqian (Tianjin Jinmen Tigers) of the Hong Kong team has also entered the top 100 of the Chinese Super League, and they are in the forefront of the value of the first team players in the Chinese Super League, which shows their strength.
