'Really?' Lingard, who is starting to be doubted, heads to the K League Progress has progressed quite well.

FC Seoul and Lingard go back and forth between Korea and England to coordinate ‘Big deal’ that will shake up the league if it comes to fruition

A 'super-large issue' has appeared in the professional soccer K-League, about a month before the opening of the 2024 season.

British media reported that attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard (31), who played over 200 games for Manchester United (Man Utd), a renowned English Premier League (EPL) team, and even participated in the World Cup as a representative of England, is in negotiations to join K League 1 FC Seoul. It came out.

It is not unfamiliar for European players to go to the K-League, but there has never been a star player of this level before. A player who can be considered the best of all time is approaching, to the extent that people who hear the news first think, 'Why is this player here?'

According to the Yonhap News coverage on the 2nd, it is understood that Lingard's connection with Seoul began in the summer of last year, and that progress began in earnest in the past month or so.

It all started when Portugal-based agency '[url=https://wiki.fablabbcn.org/User_talk:Women%27s_World_Cup_group_stage_exit_for_Belo_Horizonte,_who_will_return_home_on_Friday_with_a_heavy_heart]Made in Football[/url]' was entrusted with transfer negotiation authority from Lingard, who had been unable to find a team after his contract with EPL Nottingham Forest ended last season. Made in Football is headed by Hyeonjeong Jeong, a Korean.

It was last summer that Made in Football first presented a Lingard-related proposal to the Seoul club. At that time, there was no significant progress as it was mid-season, but as preparations for the new season began in earnest, Seoul also reportedly took interest and negotiations were underway.

Although the name value is the best, there was a time when the player was without a team, and Seoul had no choice but to take a cautious approach because it had to be considered to what extent the player was considering moving to Korea.

Lingard has never played for a club outside of England during his professional career.

The Seoul club and Lingard, who initially exchanged opinions in writing, deepened their discussions by physically going back and forth.

Seoul officials flew to England to check Lingard's physical condition, and Lingard's officials also reportedly came to Korea to check the clubhouse, stadium, and living environment in Seoul.

As negotiations progressed, Lingard is known to have developed a favorable impression after hearing about Seoul's status and value in Korean soccer, as well as the achievements and style of the team's new coach Kim Ki-dong.

It is said that there have been offers from Europe or the Middle East to him as a free agent ([url=https://wiki.fablabbcn.org/User_talk:2_goals,_1_assist,_Lee_Kang-in%27s_knife_pass_to_Neymar_and_an_upside-down_crowd]FA[/url]), so we will have to wait and see until a conclusion is reached, but judging from various circumstances, as reported by the British media, Lingard is 'seriously' considering a move to Korea and has not reached an agreement. It seems pretty close.

It was confirmed that Lingard delegated various marketing authority to CEO Jeong Hyun-jung in preparation for its activities in Korea and also entrusted legal advice to Soo-ho Son, representative attorney at Jihyuk Law Firm.

There are even rumors that Lingard will arrive in the country next week, and if he actually joins, Seoul could quickly emerge as a strong candidate to win this season's K-League 1. gostopsite.com
