Club career

Lü Wenjun started his football career when he joined the Genbao Football Academy in 2000 and was promoted to Shanghai SIPG's (later to be renamed as Shanghai Port) first team during the 2006 season. He became a regular for the club as Shanghai won promotion to the second tier in the 2007 season. He was linked with a move to top tier side Tianjin Teda at the end of the 2011 season but decided to stay at the club.[1] Lü scored six goals in 29 appearances in the 2012 season as Shanghai clinched the second tier league title and was subsequently promoted to the top flight.

He would establish himself as a vital member of the team throughout the 2013 Chinese Super League campaign as the club finished in ninth while also gaining significant investment from Shanghai International Port.[2] He would go on to be an integral member of the team that would come runners-up within the 2015 Chinese Super League and qualification for the AFC Champions League for the first time in the clubs history.[3] He would go on to be a consistent presence within the team due to his versatility as he won the 2018 Chinese Super League title with the club.[4]

On 24 June 2023, Lü scored his 100th goal for the club in a 3-1 away win against Guangzhou F.C. in the third round of 2023 Chinese FA Cup, becoming the second player to reach this milestone after Wu Lei. [5]
