Cho Kyu-seong (25, Jeonbuk Hyundai), who performed impressively at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, is expected to remain on the team for now. If there is no major change, he is likely to seek to enter Europe again in the summer transfer market, not the winter transfer market in January.
According to a football official on the 15th, Cho Kyu-sung took the lead in not going to Europe through the winter transfer market.
Cho Kyu-seong, who won the K-League 1 scorer in the 2022 season, played a perfect role in the Qatar World Cup that ended last month. In charge of Bentuho’s front line, he scored two goals in four matches, including scoring a multi-goal with his head in the second match against Ghana in the group stage.
Multiple teams showed interest in Cho Kyu-seong, who has emerged as the main striker of the Korean national soccer team through the Qatar tournament.
According to Italy’s Fabricio Romano, one of Europe’s transfer experts, Celtic (Scotland), Minnesota United (USA) and Mainz (Germany) made official offers to Cho’s side.
Minnesota of MLS offered 5 million euros 메이저사이트 (approximately 6.7 billion won) for Cho Kyu-sung’s transfer fee, and Lee Jae-sung’s Bundesliga Mainz met with Park Ji-seong, technical director of Jeonbuk, but it is known that he will not change his uniform right away.
An insider also said, “Cho Kyu-sung thought that it would be more advantageous for him to adapt to the local area more perfectly through a summer transfer than to challenge the European stage while he is not in 100% physical condition.”
Jeonbuk coach Kim Sang-sik also said at a press conference held at the Wanju Clubhouse on the 12th, “It is true that proposals came to Cho Kyu-seong from various teams.” Both the team and the players are struggling to succeed.”
Cho Kyu-seong, who joined Jeonbuk’s training at the Wanju Clubhouse from January, plans to join his team’s training camp in Spain on the 16th if there are no dramatic changes.
Jeonbuk departs for Spain via Incheon International Airport on the 16th, and will start quenching in Barcelona and Marbella.
Ahead of the 2023 season, Jeonbuk, which filled the shortfall by bringing Lee Soo-bin, Kim Gun-woong, Oh Jae-hyuk, and Jeong Min-ki to Lee Dong-jun, Amano Jun (Japan) and Rafael Silva (Brazil), is expected to be able to build a stronger force if Cho Kyu-seong remains. see.
