France's foot Mercato has been a hot topic since Hordi Mbulla, who was highly anticipated as a prospect for Barcelona and AS Monaco on the 24th (Korea Standard Time)I've had a difficult career. He has played for Portugal's Jill Vicent since the summer of 2024 after playing for Shirkle Brugge, Uesca, Mallorca, Estoril, Lasing Santander and Hellas Verona. Last season, he played in 27 games, scoring one goal and two assists, which was a bit disappointing, and is currently on the verge of a transfer, he reported.
The main destination of Mbula was Ulsan. The media is currently negotiating concretely with a Korean team called `Music Bull. It is not a typical team, but Ulsan, which is currently fifth in the K-League and is in the same group as Pluminensee, Dortmund, and Mamelodi Sundowns, and will play in the Club World Cup, he explained.
Mbula, born in 1999, is a player from Barcelona La Masia. At that time, it was highly anticipated. In the 2016-2017 season, he played in the Youth Champions League for Barcelona's youth team, scoring eight goals and two assists in eight games. Spain's national team by age also showed rapid growth.
In 2017, AS Monaco paid 3 million euros (about 4.7 billion won) to take it. He began receiving first-team opportunities in Monaco, but Mbula did not show his capabilities in the first-team stage. From then on, Mbulah was reduced to Journeyman. I went on loan to Belgium in 2019 and Spain in 2020, but all were unsuccessful.
Full transfer to Mallorca in the summer of 2020. Mallorca were in Spain's second division at the time. It helped Mallorca get promoted a little bit. He also failed to establish himself in Mallorca and moved to Portugal and Spain on loan.
The best performance in his career was when he was in Lashing, Spain's second division, in the 2022-2023 season. He scored six goals and one assist in the league. Based on this, he transferred to Italy's Serie A Verona, but failed, and returned to Lashing. Currently, he is playing in Portugal's first division, starting and replacing.
Mbula's position is a right winger. He is an athlete who has advantages in technology and breakthrough ability. If he heads to Ulsan, he is expected to compete with Um Won-sang. Mbula's ransom is currently around 500,000 euros (about 800 million won). As Ulsan can expect a lot of prize money as it participates in the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025, it is not expected to be too difficult to recruit financially.
Ulsan was recognized as the strongest team by winning three consecutive K-League titles, but it has fallen into a slump in the league this season and remains in fifth place. It is trying to rebound by recruiting foreigners in the summer transfer market.
However, Ulsan already has six foreigners in its squad, so it is necessary to organize existing foreign resources to recruit additional foreigners. If foreigners are sorted out, Rakaba or Yago, which is not highly evaluated in Ulsan, is likely to be the most popular.
