Club career

Wen Jiabao joined Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande from Dalian Aerbin on 29 January 2016 on a free transfer.[1] On 30 August 2016, Dalian Aerbin (now known as Dalian Yifang) would claim that they still had a valid contract with Wen Jiabao and that Guangzhou Evergrande acted fraudulently.[2][3] The contract dispute would be settled and Wen was promoted to Guangzhou Evergrande's first team squad in time for the start of the 2017 Chinese Super League season.[4] He made his senior debut on 8 August 2017 in a 2–2 home draw against city rivals Guangzhou R&F as the benefactor of the new rule of the league that at least one Under-23 player must be in the starting line-up.[5] He was substituted off by Zheng Long in the 20th minute.[6] After playing several further games Wen was demoted to the reserve squad in the 2018 season.

On 7 February 2019, Wen was loaned to fellow first-tier club Tianjin Tianhai for the 2019 season.[7] He would go on to make his debut for the club on 31 March 2019 against Shandong Luneng Taishan F.C. in a league game that ended in a 4-2 defeat.[8] The following season Wen would join another top tier club in Shanghai Shenhua on 6 January 2020 on a permanent basis.[9] He would make his debut against his old club Guangzhou Evergrande on 25 July 2020 in a league game that ended in a 2-0 defeat.[10]
