Guangzhou Evergrande has confirmed the signings of Yu Hanchao and Li Xuepeng from Dalian Aerbin. The rumored transfer fee is 48 million RMB.
What happened to Wu Lei going to FC Copenhagen and Zhang Xizhe going to Celtic? Any chance Zhang Linpeng moves to Europe in this summer transfer window?
Qin Sheng was released by Guangzhou Evergrande. Zhao Peng and Feng Renliang were loaned out to Changchun Yatai while Li Jianbin was loaned out to Henan Jianye.
Liu Jindong, the captain of Shandong Luneng, has retired from the playing and has joined the club's coaching staff.
There are rumors in the Chinese media that an unnamed Eredivisie side and VFL Wolfsburg of the Bundesliga are interested in signing Zhang Xizhe. Zhang has said in a recent interview that he has been in contact with Wolfsburg for about a year and with several unnamed La Liga sides.

Sun Xiang is linked with a move to Shanghai East Asia. East Asia has expressed interest in signing him on a free transfer as Sun's contract with Guangzhou Evergrande ends at the end of the year.
Don't you guys think Wolfsburg is way too deep of a team for Zhang Xizhe to excel with? I mean I would rather see him playing a starter role with Hamburg rather than making cameo appearances every other game for Wolfsburg. He would definitely be a border line sub on a team like Wolfsburg. He would be in the same situation as Hao Junmin. Wasting a year of his development on the bench...
It'll be tough for him as Kevin de Bruyne currently occupies the attacking midfield role and there are several others on the team who can play in that position as well. If Zhang does sign for Wolfsburg, his best chance of playing would probably be at left midfield, his secondary position.
I just think that Wolfsburg is probably too deep of a team for Zhang Xizhe to try to break into right away. One bad game and he will find himself on the bench for the next few matches. Going to a team in the Eredevisie (sorry if I spelled it wrong) or Swiss Super League will allow him a greater opportunity to succeed. My concern is looking at Kakitani who dominated in the East Asian Cup while playing against Zhang Xizhe and yet he is struggling to find playing time at Basel. This is a rare opportunity for a Chinese player to transfer to Europe and I just hope Zhang isn't too flattered by Wolfsburg and is focused on progressing in his career. Btw any word on teams interested in Wu Lei or Zhang Linpeng? You would think those two guys would be the most sought after Chinese nationals.
No word on any moves to foreign teams for both Wu or Zhang as of yet. Hopefully as the offseason continues, something will come up.
I agree with this. I think he needs to improve more before being a consistent player on a team like Wolfsburg. Exposure to top class training helps, but spending a year on the bench at the age of 23 in a foreign country must be detrimental to development and confidence. BuLi has a good history of grooming Asian players though, so at least we have that.
当地时间11月13日，据德国媒体《沃尔夫斯堡汇》报道，张稀哲加盟德甲沃尔夫斯堡队的进程并非一帆顺风，因为球队主帅黑金认为张稀哲目前还不具备为狼堡而战的能力，因而黑金并不认为球队会很快签下张稀哲。 对于张稀哲即将加盟德甲沃尔夫斯堡的消息，球队主帅黑金在接受采访时还是泼出了冷水，黑金表示：“他进入我们视线有一段时间了，我不认为我们很快就能签下他，但我很欣慰他正在学习德语。” 由于欧洲转会市场上年轻又有潜力的球员价格极高，狼堡曾经追求莫拉塔和卢卡库未果，因而狼堡也正在努力在中国市场上寻求新的发现，黑金也确认说：“我们有必要去寻求一个新的市场，尤其是在欧洲转会价格越来越高的情况下。” 黑金认为23岁的张稀哲需要花一定的时间去适应德甲的节奏，以及德国的生活和文化。对于张稀哲，黑金点评说：“他有一定的运动能力，还不是很成熟，但还是有可造之处的。
Jiangsu Sainty has claimed that it turned down a RMB 60 million bid (!!!) for Wu Xi. Rumors say that it was either one of the three clubs: Guangzhou Evergrande, Beijing Guoan, or Guangzhou R&F. Also, Rong Hao of Evergrande is linked with a move to Shanghai Greenland for a rumored RMB 30 million.
About 7~8 million €, this is one of the major reasons why Chinese players don't get transferred to Europe. There's just no way our players are worth that much, especially when there's such a risk moving abroad. Just as a comparison, Kagawa went to Dortmund for about 350K €. For European clubs, it's always a risk to sign an asian player no matter how well he does in his domestic league, so you can be damn sure they'll rather sign a player for 350K € than 8 million €.
Exactly why I don't think we will see any Chinese players transfer to Europe again this winter. Zhang Linpeng is worth around 1 Million Euros max but Evergrande will probably ask for like 10
Li Jianbin of Guangzhou Evergrande and Wang Yun of Shanghai Shenxin have signed for Shanghai Greenland.
