On 29 October 2023, Xu won his fifth league title and first one with Shanghai Port after a 1–1 home draw against direct competitor and his former club Shandong Taishan. [15] He became only the second player in history to win the Chinese Super League with 3 different clubs after former Evergrande teammate Zheng Zhi.[16]
