(sabasports report)Kim Byung-ji, the chief executive of Gangwon, revealed on air that Yang Min-geuk, a young player at the club, was being eyed by Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and others. “Yang is a very good player, and by developing Yang and sending him to a good club, I think it will help more good young Korean players get into many clubs in Europe,” Kim said.
“I want to send Liang to a team that really needs him,” Kim continued. “If it is just for Asian marketing, we will not make a transfer. We will choose a club that can develop and promote Liang.” He added: “It could be signed as soon as next month or August, but when to join the club has not yet been decided. We have received an offer of 4 million euros, but we are not satisfied with the transfer fee.”
“Two or three big clubs, including Manchester City, Tottenham and Swansea City, have shown interest in Liang, as well as teams that have recently imported Korean players,” he said.
“This is a top-six Premier League team that has consistently been in the top of the Premier League, and both the club and the players want to complete negotiations in July,” said Kim Dong-wan, the players’ agent.
