The Super Winter window is the coldest in nine years

According to the relevant regulations of the Chinese Football Association, the first transfer window of the 2020 season closed on February 28 as scheduled. In the past nine years, the "winter window period" of the Chinese Super League this year has been the most deserted, and neither domestic nor foreign aid has appeared. Although the Chinese Football Association has determined to add a new domestic transfer period, the tone of the "coldest winter window" may be difficult to rewrite.

28 million euros total spending lowest in 9 years

"Even Guangzhou Evergrande didn't spend any money"-foreign media that pays attention to the Super League transfer market described the winter window of the 2020 season. During the entire transfer period, Evergrande only joined Fernando as a new aid. The list of AFC Champions League submissions submitted by Evergrande showed that Fernando had successfully registered, his nationality was China, and his name was changed to Fernando. Guangzhou Evergrande, which has created five Chinese Super League foreign aid champions in the past ten years, not only did not spend any money this year, the team also significantly reduced weight. More than a dozen players such as Zhelin, Zeng Cheng, and Feng Xiaoting were transferred or rented. Form left.

According to statistics, the total investment of the Chinese Super League clubs during the winter window period is about 28 million euros. Compared with the same period of previous years, the total investment of the Chinese Super League has fallen sharply: in the 2019 season, this figure was 218 million euros; in the 2018 and 2017 seasons They were 263 million euros and 233 million euros respectively. In 2016, the Super League in the winter transfer period hit an investment of more than 300 million euros. The current investment of the Super Club is only higher than the same period in 2011-at the time it was 24.29 million euros.

As of February 28, China Super League had introduced 11 foreign aids in the international transfer market, of which 3 were foreign aids without transfer fees. After the Chinese Football Association introduced a new policy of foreign aid "Note 6 to 5 on 4", this number of introductions was unexpected. In addition to Guangzhou Evergrande, there are already many naturalized players, and now there are 5 national aid allocations: Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Shanggang, Jiangsu Suning, Chongqing Sway, Guangzhou R & F, Shijiazhuang Yongchang, Shandong Luneng and Dalian. As of press time, the number of foreign aid in seven Chinese Super Clubs has not yet been filled.

Lopez is 5.46 million euros less than a tenth of the Oscars

The attitude of the Chinese Super Club in the international transfer market can also be seen from the value of the "Winter Window King". The foreign aid that is expected to win this year's title is to join Lopez in Shanghai Shanghai Port-Shanghai Port paid for him 5.46 million Euro transfer fee.

In 2020, the value of the foreign aid bidding king in the winter window was called "the Chinese Super League went back to ten years ago overnight." From 2011 to the present, the foreign aid bidding kings in the winter season of the Super League are Cleo (4 million euros) and Barrios ( (8.5 million euros), Elkson (6.5 million euros), Montillo (7.5 million euros), Gault (15 million euros), Teixeira (50 million euros), Oscar (60 million euros), Pakistan Cambu (40 million euros), Paulinho (42 million euros). Also the standard king introduced by Shanghai SIPG, Lopez's transfer fee is less than one-tenth that when Oscar joined in 2017.

The 15 million Euro transfer fee that Guangzhou Evergrande paid for Gorrat in 2015 is the first time that the Chinese Super Club has introduced foreign aid at the level of 10 million Euros. By the 2020 season, the value of the "most expensive foreign aid" of the Chinese Super League winter window has shrunk significantly, closer to 2011 "Golden Yuan Football" level at the beginning. In the new policy of the Chinese Football Association, it is stipulated that in contracts signed with foreign aid after January 1, 2020, wages must not exceed 3 million euros after tax. It is not surprising that sky-high foreign aid has become a past practice this year.

At the same time, when the restart time of the Chinese Super League could not be determined, many foreign aids chose to leave: Carrasco, known as the strongest foreign aid in the history of Dalian football, has been leased to Atletico by Dalian; Shanghai Shenhua will be Ihalo Leased to Manchester United; Morello and Shijiazhuang Yongchang returning to the Super League to cancel the contract ... Under the dual effects of the salary limit policy and the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Super League's international transfer market in 2020 season showed a bleak start.

Trend

The prospect of the new transfer period is not optimistic

According to the results of the communication and negotiation between the Chinese Football Association and FIFA, after the first transfer window of the 2020 season was closed on February 28, the Chinese Football Association will increase the domestic transfer period of not less than three weeks before the start of the new season. At the same time, the Chinese Football Association is applying to FIFA to add a new international transfer period in April to postpone the original summer transfer period to September, but this application has not yet been answered by FIFA.

The newly added domestic transfer window is regarded as the "overtime match" of the winter window this year, but it is uncertain whether the international transfer window will be added. Therefore, many Chinese Super Clubs choose to make efforts before the deadline on the 28th. On this day, several transfers were officially announced: the Dalian people announced the joining of Swedish double stars Danielsson and Rasson, and Shandong Luneng introduced Hungarian defender Kadal from Dynamo Kyiv.

According to industry analysts, although the Chinese football league transfer market was affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, FIFA therefore agreed to open a separate international transfer period and the prospects are not optimistic. Although foreign aid can also be introduced in the future domestic transfer period of the Chinese Football Association in accordance with relevant requirements, only foreign aid with the last contract in China and the last registration with the Chinese Football Association can be introduced, and fewer than 20 people meet this condition. Few people meet the needs of today's Super League team. This is also an important reason for the concentration of official announcements on the day of the transfer deadline of the club on February 28.

It is worth mentioning that Tianjin Tianhai, which is struggling to operate, is called "the most miserable Chinese Super team". After several main players left the team, Tianhai currently has only two foreign aids. Whether they can "sprint" foreign aid before the start of the new season in the Super League is still unknown.
