BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Super League (CSL) club Shanghai Shenhua announced on Thursday that they have signed Fei Nanduo on loan from Shandong Taishan.
The 31-year-old striker, who has been banned from training with the Shandong side amid media reports of strained relations with their head coach Choi Kang-Hee, appeared at the Shanghai railway station with luggage on Wednesday afternoon, leading to speculations that he was seeking to join Shanghai Shenhua.
The Shanghai side has been looking to introduce a striker from the domestic market during the summer window to strengthen their firing power upfront.
"According to the agreements reached through friendly consultations with the Shandong Taishan FC and the player, as of today Fei Nanduo joins Shanghai Shenhua FC on loan until the end of 2024," the Shanghai club said in a statement on Thursday.
Shandong Taishan, which lost to Shanghai Shenhua away 6-0 last Saturday, did not yet give any official explanation for Fei's departure. ■
