On July 2, Beijing time, Shandong Taishan officially announced that two players left the team on loan, Ji Xiang will play in Nanjing City of the Chinese League, and Han Rongze will be on loan to Cangzhou Lions, both of whom will expire on December 31, 2024. As of press time, the Taishan team has not officially announced the departure of three players, and there is no news of any new signings.
During the summer transfer period, the first player to leave the Taishan team was Song Long, who joined Qingdao Manatee on loan and has already represented Qingdao Manatee in the Chinese Super League. After that, Han Rongze joined Cangzhou Lions on loan, and he has also represented Cangzhou in the Chinese Super League. Ji Xiang became the third player to leave the Taishan team, and he has rarely played this season, and now he is also a good option to go on loan at Nanjing City.
Ji Xiang has been the main rotation player since joining the Taishan team, mainly at right-back, and has also played cameo roles at left-back and midfield. As he gets older, the 34-year-old Ji Xiang has been affected by injuries and has struggled to get consistent playing time in the Taishan team. This season, the main right-back of the Taishan team is Gao Zhunyi and Wu Xinghan, and there is Tong Lei on the bench, and Ji Xiang has not been able to enter the game list for a long time.
As a player from Jiangsu, Ji Xiang has always had the desire to return to his hometown to play, and in this case, Nanjing City of the Chinese League threw an olive branch to him. After many communications, Jixiang decided to lease Nanjing City until December 31, 2024. It should be pointed out that Ji Xiang's contract with the Taishan team has not expired, and how to stay after the loan expires has not yet been determined.
Nanjing City officially welcomed Ji Xiang to join, they wrote: "In the next game, Ji Xiang will fight for Nanjing fans and fight for Nanjing City. Ji Xiang has excellent physical conditions and delicate footwork, can be competent for multiple positions on the field, and can enrich the manager's tactical layout and playing style. The club believes that his illustrious experience will help the team achieve their goals for the season and bring the joy of football to the fans. Nanjing City Football Club welcomes Ji Xiang to join. ”
This season, Nanjing City has scored 21 points in 15 rounds of the league, ranking 8th, there is no relegation pressure, and it is also very difficult to overtake. Ji Xiang, Song Long and Han Rongze have left the team on loan, and the Taishan team's first team list has been vacated by three places, as of press time, the Taishan team has not added new players to the first team.
Judging from the current staffing of the Taishan team, foreign aid adjustment is still the top priority, Cayo from Sporting Brazil will be examined, but if he wants to play, he will have to wait patiently. Zeka will replace Pato, and if Cayo signs up, there are still players who need to leave. In terms of local players, Sun Qihang should return to fill the vacancy in the goalkeeper position, He Xiaoke trains with the team, and may sign up for the first team, which is subject to official news.
The summer transfer window of the Chinese Super League ended on July 15, and the Taishan team has less than two weeks to adjust the lineup, which has a great impact on the team's season trend, especially the FA Cup and the AFC Champions League Elite play-offs. As for the goal of the Chinese Super League, the Taishan team can only hit the third place, and the hope of competing for the championship is very slim.
