| Baek Seung-ho, the U-23 football team, is making a dribble breakthrough in the match against Egypt in the first leg of the U-23 Friendship Tournament held at Al Salam Stadium in Cairo, Egypt on the morning of the 13th (KST). Football Association) 2020.11.13/News 1 |
K-League 1 defending champion Jeonbuk Hyundai, who was seeking to sign midfielder Baek Seung-ho (23, Darmstadt), announced the suspension.
Jeonbuk signed Seung-ho Baek, who played an active part in the German Bundesliga 2 ahead of the 2021 season. Jeonbuk coach Kim Sang-sik also expressed interest that “if Baek Seung-ho joins, it can be used as a side resource as well as Jungwon.”
In fact, Jeonbuk requested a status inquiry for Baek Seung-ho through the Korea Professional Football Federation, and received a reply from the Spanish Football Association saying that “the professional contract has exceeded 5 years”. Jeonbuk was accelerating the recruitment by discussing specific transfer fees with Darmstadt.
However, it became a problem as it was belatedly known that Baek Seung-ho had agreed to join Suwon Samsung and received support before leaving for the Spain Barcelona youth team.
Baek Seung-ho received 300 million won of support each year from Suwon for three years as a condition of attending Maetango before studying in Barcelona in 2010.
However, he is known to have made a second agreement with the Barcelona youth team that made it difficult for him to go to Maetango after signing a five-year contract with the Barcelona youth team, and’I promise to join Suwon unconditionally when returning to the K-League’.
A Jeonbuk official said in a call with News 1 on the 22nd, “(Baek Seung-ho) was not negotiated first, and there was a provision that he had to return to Suwon unconditionally. There is no reason to shake the basis of the K-League. If so, I wouldn’t have tried to sign it.
Furthermore, a Jeonbuk official emphasized that “in fact, the recruitment was stopped” and added, “If Baek Seung-ho’s side promotes the K-League to the end, wouldn’t we have to go to Suwon. Now we have left our hands.”
Meanwhile, Jeonbuk gave up the recruitment of Baek Seung-ho, and if Baek Seung-ho wants to return to the K-League, he has no choice but to wear a Suwon uniform.
