Club career
[edit | edit source]In 2012, Liu Baiyang was purchased by the youth academy of Shanghai East Asia, as part of a deal between youth academies in Shanghai and youth players from Luoyang, Henan, when Liu was nine years of age. His future teammate Jia Boyan was also included in the deal.[1] During his time at the youth levels, he briefly trained with the academy of English side Wolverhampton Wanderers in England.[2]
Before the 2022 season, Liu Baiyang was promoted to the Shanghai Port first-team.[3] On 4 June 2022, Liu made his professional debut for the club in a 1–0 defeat to Wuhan Yangtze River, replacing Liu Zhurun as an 85th-minute substitute in the league opener.[4] His first start for Shanghai Port came in the next match on 8 June, playing 58 minutes of a 2–0 Shanghai derby loss to Shanghai Shenhua.[5] On 24 October 2022, after coming on as a 78th-minute substitute for Paulinho, Liu scored his first two career goals in the span of four minutes in a 7–0 victory over Meizhou Hakka.[6] With the goals, he became the youngest ever Chinese Super League goalscorer for Shanghai Port, at 19 years and 201 days.[7] He also became the youngest ever player to score a double in the Chinese Super League.[8]
On 17 April 2023, Liu joined China League One side Guangxi Pingguo Haliao on a one-year loan.[9] On 22 April, he made his Guangxi Pingguo Haliao debut and scored his first two goals at home in a 3–0 victory against Jinan Xingzhou in the league opener.[10] With his performance, he was named China League One's Player of the Round.[11] He scored his third goal for the club on 6 May 2023, opening the scoreline against Dandong Tengyue in a 1–1 away draw.[12] After scoring two more goals in May against Liaoning Shenyang Urban, Liu received the league's Player of the Month award for the months of April and May.[13] He only scored one more goal for the rest of the season, coming from an away equaliser of a 1–1 draw at Sichuan Jiuniu on 17 June.[14] At the end of the 2023 China League One season, he was a candidate for the league's Player of the Year.[15]
In 2024, he was registered by Shanghai Port to be in their B team, playing as a newly promoted team in China League Two. On 5 April 2024, he scored his first goal for Shanghai Port B in a 2–0 home win over Shenzhen Juniors.[16] On 11 April 2024, Liu struck the head of an opposition player in Shanghai Port B's 1–0 away win against Guangxi Lanhang, and was fined ¥20,000 and suspended for the following four matches.[17] At the end of the 2024 China League Two campaign, Liu scored five goals in 23 total appearances.[18]
On 18 February 2025, Liu was loaned to Chinese Super League side Qingdao West Coast on a one-year deal.[19] He was given the number 39 shirt.[20] On 3 March, he made his first appearance for Qingdao West Coast in a 2–0 victory against Wuhan Three Towns, coming on as a substitute for Nelson da Luz.[21]
