Considering transfer targets
The user asks about potential signings for Shanghai Shenhua from the Brazilian league and wants analysis on four candidates. It sounds like they’re looking for player profiles and the reasoning behind each choice. I'll need to suggest players who fit Shenhua's needs based on the current season up to October 2024. They've had a strong season and can register five foreign players, with four eligible for matchday. I should double-check the foreign player rules.Evaluating transfer options
I need to clarify that clubs can register up to seven foreign players, but I'll stick to generic details regarding foreigner quotas and visas to avoid confusion. I'm aiming to suggest four target positions from the Brazilian league: a striker, a winger/second forward, a box-to-box midfielder, and a center-back, while considering budget constraints because of salary cap regulations.
For strikers, options include Tiquinho Soares from Botafogo. I'll be cautious not to mention players moving to Europe, like Vitor Roque or Pedro from Flamengo, as they may be out of reach for Shanghai Shenhua.Identifying potential players
I'm looking at several Brazilian players who could be viable signings. Eduardo Sasha from Bragantino is a decent and experienced striker at a moderate price. Jonathan Calleri from São Paulo is notable but likely commands a high salary. Roger Guedes is currently in Qatar, while Hulk, who has experience in China, could be a free option, although he might still be costly.
For midfielders, I’m considering Edenilson from Grêmio and potentially Jair from Vasco as a defensive midfielder. For center-backs, Murilo from Palmeiras is strong but pricey, while Adryelson was recently transferred to Lyon. There are a lot of movements to keep track of!Identifying realistic candidate profiles
I’m looking at potential candidates for Shanghai Shenhua who fit their budget and league requirements. For fullbacks, Ayrton Lucas from Flamengo is expensive, while Khellven's transfer situation is complicated since he recently moved to a European club.
I should focus on players in the 24-29 age range with moderate wages and effective skills, avoiding those with ties to European clubs. I can suggest players with concise profiles and approximate fees. For instance, Eduardo Sasha from Bragantino is a reliable striker; Tiquinho Soares from Botafogo is a top scorer but older. I should also consider Yuri Alberto from Corinthians as a promising option.
