South Korea's national team fullback Seol Young-woo is expected to stay at The Tsurvena Zvezda for one season.
Serbia's Sportzka Centala reported on the 9th (Korea time) 'Zvezda has decided to reject all proposals for Seol Young-woo'
Sportzka Centala said 'According to the news, Seol will remain with the club next season. "Al Jazeera in the United Arab Emirates, Hent in Belgium and anonymous clubs in Saudi Arabia received a lot of attention, but they decided to stay at Zvezda until the next season,' Seol said.

Seol Young-woo is a key player for Zvezda with tremendous recognition in his first year in Europe. Seol Young-woo, who changed his uniform from Ulsan HD to Zvezda in June last year, immediately became the main player this season. There was no need for a period of adaptation. He has already played in 20 league games and is considered a key player. Coach Vladan Milojevic Zvezda is actively using the team regardless of the left and right, and Seol Young-woo also played an active role in repaying his faith. In a match against Nafredak Krusevats in February, he also showed off his sharpness by scoring multiple goals.
He has six goals and three assists in 24 games in the league this season alone. With Seol Young-woo's performance, Zvezda confirmed its league victory this season. He won the previous league match against Belgrade and reached 86 points, and won the championship by widening the gap with second-place Partizan (63 points).
It is a performance that can even aim to advance to the big leagues. Seol Young-woo previously received a military service exemption through the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games gold medal. He is 27 years old, in his prime, and it is also attractive that he can play both left and right fullbacks.

Several interests have already arrived at Seol Young-woo. Serbia's Sportsc Vesti says Sul Young-woo of Zvezda may leave Maracana this summer. Al Jazeera has shown interest in Seol and is said to have already handed over an offer on good terms, with Serbia's Espresso saying it is interested in Sul of Zvezda but is unlikely to leave the club this summer. Seol reportedly targeted not only Al Jazeera in the United Arab Emirates, but also multiple Saudi Arabian clubs and Hent,' he said, noting that Belgium Hent is targeting Seol.
However, Seol Young-woo decided to stay at Zvezda after this season. It may be a choice considering a bigger dream. If you enter the Middle East based on your performance this season, you can earn a huge salary, but it is likely that it will be difficult to come back to Europe.
In the case of the Belgian league, the level is higher than that of the Serbian league, but it is likely to be a burden for Seol to move the team in one season at a time when they cannot guarantee their advance to the top five European leagues. In the end, it may be a decision to continue his performance at Zvezda to complete his adjustment to the European stage a little more slowly and look for a transfer. It is difficult to easily release Seol Young-woo, who is also showing the best performance in the team. He may try to collect a huge transfer fee after using him as the team's mainstay for another season.

Since the English Premier League (EPL) has already shown interest in Seol Young-woo, the desire for the top five European leagues may be greater. Seol Young-woo's transfer to West Ham emerged in January last year. At the time, the British media reported that "West Ham are currently looking at the potential movement of Seol Young-woo, a full-back for the South Korean national team. It seems that the main interest is in Seol Young-woo, a Korean full-back who can be recruited cheaply in January." If Zvezda's performance continues, it is not unreasonable for such interest to reappear.
Interest in Seol Young-woo, who won both performance and championship at the same time as he entered Europe, is hot. If Seol Young-woo remains at Zvezda next season, attention is being paid to which clubs will receive attention along with his performance.
