Zhang set for Real loan
Print Edition
Guangzhou Evergrande defender Zhang Linpeng will be loaned out to Spain鈥檚 Real Madrid for free during the winter transfer window as part of the two clubs鈥 cooperation.
Evergrande president Xu Jiayin is in Madrid this week to meet Real president Florentino Perez Rodriguez. The Chinese Super League defending champion is said to have reached a 鈥渟trategic cooperation鈥 with the La Liga powerhouse. Though no details of the cooperation have been revealed, the two sides were said to be keen on player exchange.
Zhang was previously linked with English Premier League champion Chelsea. After his Blues dreams were dashed, due to 鈥榣ack of time鈥 and some disagreements with Chelsea on the terms of his deal, Evergrande decided to loan him to Real for free when the winter transfer window opens in January.
Guangzhou-based Yangcheng Evening News reported yesterday that Zhang had confirmed the loan deal.
鈥淭he loan will be arranged by the club. I just know that it鈥檚 already decided and there is lots of work left to be done. I believe the club will handle it well,鈥 the 26-year-old right back said.
Under the cooperation deal with Real, Evergrande hopes it can send two to three players on loan to Madrid every year, while Real players can also move in the opposite direction.
Nicknamed 鈥淶hangmos鈥 by fans in a nod to Real defender Sergio Ramos, Zhang has been a key player on Luiz Felipe Scolari鈥檚 team, which currently tops the CSL table and is also chasing another AFC Champions League glory, following the club鈥檚 triumph the year before last.
