Thrown out of Genoa to Dan Şucu, Nicholas Stanciu (32 years old) had a dream welcome at the new team, right at the airport. The Romanian international is leaving Europe again and will play in China for Dalian Yingbo11th place in the recently concluded season.
It will be the second experience in China for Nicolae Stanciu, who won the title in the 2022-2023 season with Wuhan Three Towns.

Although Nicolae Stanciu did not achieve notable performances recently, the Chinese gave him a dream welcome at the airport upon arrival.
The Romanian arrived in China today, and the “leaked” images on X speak for themselves. Club officials, as well as hundreds of supporters, welcomed Stanciu and hailed him as a true savior.
With a smile on his face, the Romanian offered autographs and took pictures with some of the Chinese fans. As is customary in China for a top transfer, Chinese officials presented him with a bouquet of flowers and a scarf with the club's insignia.
Stanciu will sign the contract, and later he will go to the training camp in Dubai with the new team.
At Genoa, the Romanian was in the foreground on January 8, when he missed a shot from 11 meters in extra time against AC Milan. If he had converted, his team would have prevailed at San Siro.
Stanciu will be a colleague in the new team with Isnik Alimi, the midfielder who left Sepsi this winter, and Cephas Malele, the former striker from FC Argeș and CFR Cluj.
