Beijing News (Reporter Liu Chen) recently, all kinds of news about the whereabouts of national hand Zhou Qi in the new season was very rampant, and there was news that, at present, Xinjiang club, which still has the priority to renew the contract, and Beijing Shougang club have reached some consensus on the deal. The Beijing News reporter learned that on July 10, the Chinese Basketball Association convened two clubs, Xinjiang and Shougang, and held a meeting with Zhou Qi’s brokerage team. The multi-party negotiations were ongoing and there was no conclusion.
Zhou Qi’s return to CBA is undoubtedly a major focus of Chinese basketball this summer. On July 4th, Su Qun, a basketball media player, once revealed that the “arbitration tribunal” of the State Sports General Administration would give a conclusion on where Zhou Qi would play after the World Cup the next day. The Beijing News reporter asked many insiders about this. They agreed that it was “not that simple” to give a clear conclusion in a short period of time, especially to give consideration to multiple interests, “It must be difficult to be completely satisfied with one side.” Up to now, the so-called arbitration results have not been announced to the public.
According to the CBA registration regulations, Xinjiang men’s basketball holds the priority renewal right of Zhou Qi, but because the two sides have been unable to work together for a long time, it is the best choice to trade them out. The Xinjiang and Zhou Qi teams have indeed been operating like this. Recently, there are rumors in the trading market that Shanghai, Beijing control and other teams are interested in Zhou Qi. However, last week, the Shanghai media broke the news that Xinjiang insisted on Zhou Qi’s exchange for Wang Zhelin, and finally the negotiations broke down. The Beijing News reporter learned that the management of Beijing control did have contact with Zhou Qi’s team, but it had been stopped. It is reported that Xinjiang proposed to exchange with Liao Sanning, while North control men’s basketball plans to focus on training the young defender in the new season.
As a result, Shougang became the only club to stay at the negotiation table. It is reported that the chips recognized by several parties are players + cash for Zhou Qi, and the candidates and amount are the main aspects of the current negotiations. The candidate proposed by Xinjiang is Fan Ziming. The latter has played for Shougang for three seasons, and its growth is obvious to all. It has been recognized by the whole team and is the inner pillar of the team system. During the off-season period, he discussed the renewal issue with the club very smoothly. Xiao Fan himself also expressed his willingness to work in Beijing and Shougang for a long time in interviews many times.
Knowing the relevant news, Beijing fans have left messages on Fan Ziming’s social media, hoping that he can stay in the team. At noon on July 10, Xiao Fan replied on social media: “Thank you very much. I have read all your messages. No matter what the ending is, I am really happy to get everyone’s support and love.”
The rumored transaction involved many parties. The main premise was that Zhou Qi and Xinjiang reconciled, and then Zhou Qi took part in it. If Shougang’s decision-making layer insists on entering the game, there is still a lot of work to be done, and many aspects need to be considered: such as the determination of bargaining chips, the willingness to send out players, and how to make up for losses, etc.
In addition, Li Muhao has basically decided to leave the team, and the foreign aid has not been finalized. If the price of introducing Zhou Qi is to send Fan Ziming away, the thickness of the inside line of Beijing Shougang’s new season will undoubtedly be reduced.
Where will Zhou Qi go next?
