Jesse Lingard announced his imminent entry into the country by uploading a 'proof shot' of him boarding a plane to Korea.
Lingard posted a photo through her social network service (SNS) on the 4th (Korean time). The Korean Air logo is displayed on the information board at the airport, just before checking in baggage. As it has recently been linked to a transfer rumor to K League 1 FC Seoul, it is very likely that it is a flight to Korea.
Lingard expressed his high expectations for his trip to Korea by posting an airplane and a V emoticon with two fingers outstretched.
On the 2nd, a transfer rumor broke out in England that surprised not only domestic soccer fans but also soccer fans around the world. A report was made through Sky Sports, a leading British sports media outlet, that Lingard, who played 200 games for Manchester United, a prestigious team in the English Premier League, is transferring to FC Seoul.
Sky Sports reported, “Lingard is on the verge of a ‘surprise transfer’ to Korea. A move to FC Seoul is imminent,” and “It is understood that a verbal contract has been agreed upon, including the terms of a one-year extension for the basic two years.” did.
He went on to say, “He will leave the country within a few days to finalize the contract,” and “It is said that he wanted a fresh start in a new country.”
British public broadcaster BBC also reported that "Lingard is seriously considering (going to FC Seoul)" with a contract term of 2+1 years. However, unlike Sky Sports, he added, "At this point, it is not known whether Lingard will accept FC Seoul's recruitment offer."
Metro said, "Lingard is preparing a shock transfer to South Korea's FC Seoul. The contract period is 2+1 years and he is scheduled to go to Korea in the next few days to finalize his contract."
According to reports, a foreign player with a reputation that is one of the most valuable in K-League history will join Seoul. An official from the Seoul club also admitted in a phone call with Xports News, "We have been in contact with Lingard. It is true that we are negotiating to join."
European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the death. Through his social networking service (SNS), “Lingard is ahead of a new chapter. As a free agent, he is preparing to sign a contract with the Korean club FC Seoul. The contract is imminent. The final offer to sign a two-year contract has been made and Lingard “I am ready to leave England and take on a new challenge in Korea,” he said.
He added, "Lingard left England and trained with Saudi club Al-Etifaq. Manager Steven Gerrard decided not to pursue a contract with him, and Seoul made an offer. And an agreement was reached."
On the 3rd, a more advanced version of ‘Here we go soon’ was released. Romano said, "Lingard has received an official offer from FC Seoul. The contract period is two years, we have agreed to this and are ready. He has prepared to travel to Korea early next week to visit the club and complete the transfer." They also uploaded a composite photo of Lingard wearing an FC Seoul uniform, announcing that the transfer was imminent.
Many fans were skeptical about the shocking news. This is because he is the player with the best reputation among the players who have been rumored to be transferring to the K-League so far.
First of all, it turned out to be true as Seoul admitted that it was negotiating with Lingard. Seoul, which started anew this season under coach Kim Ki-dong, is currently lacking offensive resources, so reinforcements are essential.
Although they have Ilyuchenko, Willian, Cho Young-wook, etc., they have not been able to properly fill the void left by Na Sang-ho, who transferred to Machida Zelbia in the Japanese J-League. We plan to add weight by recruiting Lingard, who can play pre-attack positions such as attacking midfielder and winger.
If Lingard wears the Seoul uniform, Seoul will have the player with the highest name value in K-League history.
