FC Nantes agreed on the transfer of `Celtic (Scotland) and Kwon Hyuk-kyu through the club channel on the 26th (Korea time). Kwon Hyuk-kyu is a defensive midfielder with a solid physique of 1m92. Not only is it strong in competition, but it is also very technical because it can use both feet freely. It was officially announced that in the summer, several would strengthen the midfield that left the team. Nantes and Kwon Hyuk-kyu have a three-year contract.
Born in 2001, Kwon Hyuk-kyu made his professional debut at Busan I'Park. He showed off his early sensing talent by playing a semi-professional role in Busan. Kwon Hyuk-kyu, who showed his skills on the K-League stage, joined Celtic through the summer 2023 transfer market. However, he has been on loan since he was pushed out of the competition for the starting lineup. He played for St. Mirren in the 2023-2024 season and for Hibernian in the 2024-2025 season. He played 22 official matches for the Hibernian and played well.
Meanwhile, Kwon Hyuk-kyu's transfer coincidentally opened the possibility of 'Korean Derby' in the opening game of the French League 1 in the 2025-2026 season. Nantes will face Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at 3:45 a.m. on August 18 at La Bozoar Stadium, Nantes' home. Lee Kang-in is in PSG.
