Hamburg Lee Jae-sung still wants an exceptional player

[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Hamburg, who was beaten by Lee Jae-sung, still wants him.

German Bilt magazine said on the 9th (Korean time) that Hamburg, the prestigious German Bundesliga team, is once again aiming for Lee Jae-seong of Holstein Kiel.

Lee Jae-sung started the away match between Hamburg and Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga 2 round 24 in the 2020/21 season held on this day and scored a header in a corner kick situation in 8 minutes.

The media reported that Hamburg offered Lee Jae-sung to transfer with a transfer fee of 3 million euros (about 4 billion won) in the summer of 2020.

Lee Jae-sung’s contract with Kiel expires in 2021. Kill is having the best season of the Bundesliga 2 by holding Lee Jae-seong with a contract term of one year remaining last summer.

Lee Jae-sung has been scoring 5 goals and 4 assists in 242 games in 242 games, moving between midfielder and striker positions, showing considerable influence in the game.

In particular, Lee Jae-seong is accompanied by the gust of Holstein Kiel in DFB Pokal. Kiel became the main character of the surprise after winning a penalty shoot-out against Bayern Munich in the second round of DFB Pokal this season.

Kill succeeded in advancing to the semifinals for the first time in history with a victory against Darmstadt in the round of 16 and against Essen in the quarterfinals.

Hamburg coach Daniel Thiune said about Lee Jae-seong,’He’s a special player. I love his play. He shows a high level when he catches the ball. Lee Jae-sung evaluated that he was an outstanding player in this league.

The media said that Lee Jae-sung’s transfer depends on Kill’s promotion. If Kiel succeeds in promotion, there is a possibility that Jaesung Lee will leave the team in a situation where Kiel’s reorganization is essential, and Hamburg has a chance to take him.

Another reason Hamburg wants Lee Jae-sung is that Lee Jae-sung can sign him without a transfer fee as his contract expires at the end of this season.

However, it should not be overlooked that other Bundesliga teams other than Hamburg are showing interest in Jae-Sung Lee, the media said.
