The Brazilian footballer, Edmilson, has renewed his contract with the Chinese Super League (CSL) club, Shanghai Shenhua. The 36-year-old striker had been linked with moves to several European clubs in recent months.
Edmilson made his debut for the CSL club in 2011 and has since become one of their most important players. He has scored over 50 goals for the club in 98 appearances and is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the league.
The new contract will see Edmilson remain at Shanghai Shenhua until June 2024, making him one of the longest-serving foreign players in the CSL. The club's manager, Jang Hyun-gwon, praised Edmilson's commitment to the team and said that he was excited about what the future held for both the player and the club.
The decision to extend Edmilson's contract comes after a difficult period for the club, which has struggled financially in recent years. However, the club's president, Zhang Jun, remains optimistic about the future and believes that Edmilson's experience and leadership can help the club turn things around.
Overall, the renewal of Edmilson's contract is a positive development for both the player and the club. It shows that the club values its star player and is committed to his long-term success. As a result, it also sets a good example for other players looking to build successful careers in China.
