(Sports Seoul | Jeongda -ji reporter) Summer is hot beyond winter.

In the K -League Summer Transfer Market this season, there is a growing miracle. Not only a lot of numbers, but a big transfer. Korean football ‘Living Legend’ Ki Sung -yong left FC Seoul and moved to Pohang Steelers and surprised everyone. The shock was more shocking because it was a case that took place during the season.

Big clubs are also busy moving to win or enter the top. Seoul is especially active. After recruiting striker Kulimala, K -League 1’s best foreigner Andersson was upgraded. Seoul became the ‘final winner’ with Andersson, who had a lot of coveted teams.

Ulsan HD also recruited defender Troyak for the FIFA Club World Cup and reunited with Jung Seung -hyun. He continued to reinforce his defense by adding a contract with Kim Young -kwon. In addition, he recruited Malcolm from the K -League 1 goal and strengthened it to the forefront.

The lower teams are also busy. Suwon FC recruited Willian and Lee Si -young instead of sending Andersson. Han Chan -hee, a central midfielder, was strengthened. Suwon is currently in 11th place. In order to fight hard residual fighting, he has made a solid reinforcement.

The same is true of Gangwon FC, which has been relatively quiet last winter. Kangwon, who had a weak firepower in the first half, compensated for the scoring power by recruiting Mo Jae -hyun and Kim Gun -hee, who wanted Jung Kyung -ho. After the two players joined, Kangwon succeeded in reversing the atmosphere with three consecutive wins. From Gwangju FC, he brought the center back Bruno to reinforce the defense. As I went to the Asian Football Federation (AFC) Champions League Elite, I was able to fill my squad abundantly.

In the summer of 2018, only 93 new players registered. Then, last year, it increased to 119. This year, it is expected to be similar to last year. This summer’s transfer market will be closed on the 24th of this month. There is still a full full. In fact, many teams are still working on reinforcement.

In the past, it was a common concept to complete the squad in the winter transfer market and to proceed with extremely partial reinforcement in the summer. However, the recent fierce competition has become more important. In order to win, residue, or promotion, summer is ‘golden time’ as a general perception of the industry.

One agent said, “I feel that there is a lot of summer transfer market reinforcement compared to the past. It is increasingly difficult to compete. weo@sportsseoul.com
