It is news that Tsurvena Zvezda is even preparing a transfer fee for Jeon Jin-woo.

Serbia's Telegraph on the 18th (Korea Standard Time) 'Zvezda is showing serious interest in Jeon Jin-woo, one of the most interested players in Asia. He is currently the leading scorer in the K-League 1 and a key player for Jeonbuk Hyundai, the report said.

Telegraph was then reported to be ready to offer up to 3 million euros (about 4.7 billion won) to recruit Jeon Jin-woo. Jun Jin-woo has been overwhelmed this season, especially since May, he has scored six goals and two assists, directly involved in more than half of the team's total points. He even talked about how much Zvezda prepared for Jun Jin-woo. The 3 million euros is more than four times the value of Jeon Jin-woo, who is currently valued at 700,000 euros (about 1.1 billion won).

It doesn't feel like a simple rumor because not only Telegraph but also various local media, including Serbia's Sportclov, simultaneously said on the 16th that Zvezda is interested in recruiting Jeon Jin-woo.




Jeon Jin-woo is a highly anticipated player at Suwon Samsung, but his career at Suwon was not easy. Even when I got to wear Jeonbuk uniform last summer, expectations were not high. This is because he was a player who failed to burst his potential in Suwon.

However, Jeon Jin-woo became a completely different player after meeting coach Gus Foye. He became the best player in the K-League this season by scoring 16 goals and four assists in 25 games. At this point, Jeon Jin-woo is considered an unstoppable player in the K-League. Jeon Jin-woo, who was immediately selected for the national team, came to the stadium right away in the A-match in June and scored one goal and one assist, causing his stock price to soar further.

Zvezda is very interested in the Korean market as it has made a big hit, starting with recruitment of Hwang In-beom and Seol Young-woo. If it's Jun Jin-woo now, he will be able to knock on the door of the European big league after going through Zvezda.




However, Telegraph gave a negative outlook on the possibility of Jeon Jin-woo joining the summer. According to the media, it is not expected that the transfer will be easy under the current circumstances. His team, Jeonbuk, is currently competing to win the league, and there are no plans to release key players during the season. Jeonbuk is a team that narrowly avoided relegation through promotion play-offs last season, and is currently seeking its first league championship since 2021 with 14 consecutive unbeaten games.

Ahead of the match against Suwon FC on the 17th, Foye, who has grown Jeon Jin-woo into the best superstar in the K-League, said "I don't care much as it's just a rumor right now. If the actual offer comes, we will be able to talk about it then." In addition, Foyet said, `If Jeon Jin-woo goes to Europe at this point, he has enough skills to work," he said, even talking about his trust in his disciples.

Indeed, the future of Jeon Jin-woo is likely to be determined by what Jeonbuk answers when Zvezda comes with 3 million euros. Jeon Jin-woo has been to Sangmu since he was a child, so there is no obstacle to entering Europe.
