France’s only UEFA Champions League winner, Olainfic de Marseille, will recruit Hwang Hee-chan (28, Wolverhampton Wanderers).
Marseille, which appointed Roberto de Gervi this summer, continued to strengthen its power throughout its campaign with the goal of rebuilding its prestigious family. It recruited more than 10 players, including Pierre-Emile Hoibier and Mason Greenwood, to improve its constitution.
However, Hwang Hee-chan failed to recruit Hwang Hee-chan, the top priority recruitment goal. British media “The Sun” reported in September that “Hwang Hee-chan rejected Marseille’s offer,” adding, “De Zerby called him every day to persuade him to come to Marseille. Hwang Hee-chan rejected the offer after much consideration, and he has no regrets about his decision to remain at Wolverhampton.”
Hwang Hee-chan, who had 13 goals and three assists in 31 matches last season, has been struggling this season. He was out of the lineup due to an injury while playing for the national team in October, and failed to score an offensive point as he played in 11 matches. Worse yet, Wolverhampton is in desperate danger as it only won two of 15 Premier League matches. 안전놀이터
British media “Moly New News” diagnosed that Gary O’Neill and Hwang Hee-chan’s position was not safe. The media said, “Wolverhampton is planning to replace O’Neill, but we will proceed with a wise replacement of the head coach to avoid repeating the previous case.”
“Hwang Hee-chan, who showed his best performance last season, also fell sharply. There are only two starts, but even considering this, his performance is not good,” he said. “He was one of the original non-transfer targets, but now he will be able to sell if an appropriate transfer fee offer comes in.”
While transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano predicted the possibility of Hwang Hee-chan’s transfer on the 11th (local time), French media Le10 Sports reported that Marseille has emerged as the next destination. It is good news as I wondered what if interest cooled down.
The media emphasized, “Marceu did not give up recruiting Hwang Hee-chan. There are still files related to him in the club’s office.” According to local media, Wolverhampton is expected to demand at least 20 million pounds (about 36.2 billion won) of transfer fees. For Marseille, who was rejected for 25 million euros (about 37.7 billion won) this summer, it is not expected to be a big obstacle.
