The new hope of Chinese soccer has left for Spain.

China's Sohu reported on the 31st (Korea time) 'Bang Zhao Lei joined the Spanish league club and signed a contract until 2027'

Sohu said 'Bang Zhao Lei, who is highly anticipated by fans, made his first step into the Spanish professional league by joining Atletico Yeida and excited fans. Spain's fourth division has a low reputation, but it boasts fierce competition. It is an ideal stage for young players to sharpen their skills with fierce competition and fast pace. Bang Jiao-rey will compete with older and more experienced players and be tested not only in the technical area but also in his physical and mental strength. This will definitely help his future development'




He will then join the first team and adjust to the league's flow and decide whether to sign up for the first team or the youth team after the pre-season. 'Steady playing time will be very important, and if we secure the starting position, we can play around 30 games in a year, so we can grow faster than playing as a replacement in the Chinese Super League,' he added.

Bang Zhao Lei, a young resource born in 2009, has recently been one of the top prospects in China. He is considered one of the future of Chinese soccer along with Wang Yu-dong and Kwai Ji-won. In July last year, he also scored in the Korea-China U-15 national team exchange match held in Korea and destroyed the Korean national team, contributing to China's 4-1 victory. In the recent friendly tournament of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) of 2025 in China, he played an active role in the process of competing with Uzbekistan, Japan and South Korea. At that time, Bang Ja-orei contributed to the draw against Japan and the victory against Uzbekistan.

Atletico Yeida, whose transfer was made by Bang Jiao-rey, is a Spanish fourth division team. It is hard to say that it is a transfer to a prestigious club. However, Bang Jiao-rey seems to have chosen to transfer without hesitating to any team in order to grow in Europe. Bang Jiao-rey's growth and studying abroad in soccer can be a great motivation for senior prospects who have stayed satisfied with the Chinese league.




Senior Wang Yu-dong, who is active in the Chinese Super League, recently received a transfer offer to Europe, but there was even news that he wanted to stay in the Chinese league due to his salary. It is a disappointing choice for the growth of the Chinese national team. However, Bang Jiaorei, who emerged as a new hope of China, chose the challenge of Spain's fourth division, unlike his seniors. Attention is also focusing on whether it can be a hope for Chinese soccer.
