Will Wolverhampton and Nottingham enter the EPL amid interest? Transfer fee and rental conditions are obstacles
Rumors abound, but the path of national striker Hwang Ui-jo (30, Bordeaux) is in the fog.
French media Requiffe reported on the 17th (Korean time), “While the transfer saga of Hwang Ui-jo continues, we have not yet reached the end.”
The media said, “Nottingham Forest (England) wants to send Hwang Ui-jo on loan to Olympiacos (Greece) with the same owner.
However, Hwang Ui-jo does not prefer to rent Olympiacos.”
There were rumors of a transfer to Nottingham this month, but they said they could not agree on the terms.
Hwang Ui-jo is planning to leave his club Girondain Bordeaux, which has been relegated to the French professional football league 2 (2nd division).
He has already expressed his intention to transfer since June, when last season ended, saying, “I hope I have time to adapt to the new team as soon as possible.”
However, two months have passed and no new team has been found, and the 2022-2023 European football season has already begun.
Hwang Ui-jo has been receiving steady attention from other clubs throughout the summer.
European media reported that various teams were watching him, including French Ligue 1’s Nantes, Marseille, Montpellier, Strasbourg, German Bundesliga Schalke, and MLS Minnesota United.
Recently, Ligue 1 Brest made an offer to sign him, and he also reached out to the English Premier League (EPL).
The news that Hwang Hee-chan (26) is sending a love call to Wolverhampton Wanderers and the promotion team, Nottingham Forest, has leaked out.
Hwang Ui-jo’s heart seems to be leaning towards the EPL.
Requiffe said, “Hwang’s priority is to advance to the Premier League.”
The problem is the transfer conditions.
Wolverhampton initially offered 2 million euros (about 2.7 billion won) as a transfer fee for Hwang Ui-jo, and if the team advances to the UEFA Champions League (UCL), it means that they will pay 1 million euros (about 1.3 billion won) as an option. said
Bordeaux is not satisfied with this amount.
Bordeaux, who is suffering from financial difficulties, wants a higher transfer fee in exchange for giving away the team’s key striker.
According to ‘Transfermarkt’, a European football transfer information site, the estimated transfer fee for Hwang Ui-jo is 7 million euros (about 9.3 billion won).
While Bordeaux and Wolverhampton had a disagreement over the transfer fee, Nottingham joined the signing process, but this time they encountered a stumbling block called ‘lease’.
Negotiations between Nottingham and Bordeaux, however, are said to have not been halted.
Ahead of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which opens in November, Hwang Ui-jo must find a new team and improve his performance as soon as possible.
Currently playing the season in Bordeaux, he played 18 minutes with Valencienne in the first round of League 2 in the 2022-2023 season and only played about 2 minutes with Nior in the third round.
