  With the two clubs in Shanghai entering the competition area ahead of schedule, the start time of the new season of the Chinese Super League has entered the countdown.

However, due to various factors, the budgets of various clubs are still limited, and life is still difficult.

In this case, the Chinese Football Association plans to hold a meeting to study the return of the club's signing adjustment fee.

  Recently, the German transfer market website updated the information on the worth of Chinese Super League players.

The value of the Chinese Super League players has shrunk seriously as a whole, ranking sixth in Asia.

Among them, the players of Shanghai Haigang, the top player in the Chinese Super League, are worth 34.7 million euros, almost twice as much as the second-place Wuhan Three Towns, and Shandong Taishan ranks third with 17.65 million euros.

Of the 18 Chinese Super League teams, only 6 exceeded 10 million euros.

The Hebei team with 2.03 million euros ranked last, down 75.3% from last year.

The closed transfer market of the Chinese Super League is also calm. There are 4 players worth more than 5 million euros, and the standard king Stanqiu is only worth 7 million euros.

All this shows that the financial crisis of most clubs in the Chinese Super League is still serious.

  From the transfer fee of hundreds of millions of yuan to the overall shrinking of players' worth, Chinese football is trying to get used to the hard life.

But even with the huge drop in transfer fees, the problem of wage arrears is still serious.

Last season, at least 10 clubs were underpaid.

In order to solve this situation, the Chinese Football Association is studying the return of the club's signing adjustment fee to ease the club's economic pressure.

  Starting from the winter window of the 2018 season, the Chinese Football Association has formulated an adjustment fee for signings - the transfer fee for domestic aid shall not exceed 20 million yuan, and the transfer fee for foreign aid shall not exceed 45 million yuan, otherwise the same amount of adjustment fee for signings will be required.

This is a considerable expenditure for the club. For example, Paulinho and Talisca of the Guangzhou team have a combined transfer fee of about 70 million euros. For this reason, the Guangzhou team has to pay about 500 million yuan for signings. adjustment fee.

Beijing Guoan also paid a transfer adjustment fee in the transaction of signing two foreign players, Bakambu and Vieira.

In the summer window of the 2019 season, Shenhua's Shalawi and Haigang's Arnautovic also exceeded the signing adjustment fee standard.

  Since most clubs have generally encountered an economic crisis in the past two years, all clubs hope that the Chinese Football Association can refund the signing adjustment fee that has been paid.

However, since all the staff of the Football Association are currently working from home, the relevant clubs must wait a little longer.
