Pohang Steelers Lee Tae -seok is also Europe’s ‘first reading’

Pohang Steelers national defender Lee Tae -seok (23) is on the European stage.

The destination is Austrian Bundesliga Austria.

Austrian sports media, Heute Sport, said on the 26th (Korea time), “Austria brings Korean players to reinforce the left defense.”

Pohang also said, “The transfer negotiations are being positive,” he said. “It is our position to cooperate with players who want to go abroad.”

According to officials on the 27th, Lee Tae -seok plans to arrive in Vienna on the 29th and take the detailed entry process including medical tests. Therefore, Daegu FC and K -League 1 away game is likely to be a farewell.

Lee Tae -seok is valuable because he can play the role of a wingback that has been aggressively advanced as well as the full back of the four -back. In addition, depending on the economic situation, it is a multi -purpose defender that covers the right side. Lee Tae -seok’s current ransom is 750,000 euros (about 1.2 billion won), according to the European football specialty media.

However, there is enough room for ransom prices in the future. Lee Tae -seok, who is also well known as the son of Lee Eul -yong, who contributed to the 2002 Korea -Japan World Cup semi -finals, is almost certain to participate in the 2026 North and Central America World Cup.

Lee Tae-seok, who continued to board the national team after Hong Myung-bo’s appointment in July last year, played seven games in the A-match, including two games of the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship, which recently ended in Korea.
