Club career
Xu Xin started his football career when he joined Tianjin Teda's youth academy in 2006. After switching to Shanghai Shenhua's youth academy, he then transferred to La Liga side Atlético Madrid's youth academy in 2010. On 11 May 2013, Xu was promoted to Atlético Madrid B's squad and made his debut for the club on 12 May 2013 in a 1–0 loss against CD Marino, coming on as a substitute for Vicente Romero in the 66th minute.[1][2] He made his debut for Atlético Madrid C on 25 August 2013 in a 2–2 draw against AD Parla, coming on as a substitute for Samuel Villa in the 71st minute.[3]
On 25 December 2015, Xu transferred to Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande for a fee of €4.3 million.[4][5] He made his debut for the club on 1 April 2016 in a 2–0 win against Guangzhou R&F, coming on as a substitute for Huang Bowen in the 71st minute.[6] On 1 April 2017, Xu suffered a ligament rupture in his left ankle in a 3–2 win against Shanghai SIPG.[7] In July 2018, Xu was reportedly about to be loaned to China League One side Wuhan Zall for a half season.[8] However, the deal couldn't be completed due to Guangzhou Evergrande and Wuhan Zall falling out over a dispute about Yang Chaosheng.[9]
On 12 April 2021, Xu joined fellow Chinese Super League club Shandong Taishan.[10] He helped Shandong win the club's first Chinese Super League title since in 11 years in his debut season, which was his personal 4th league title.
