South Korean prospect Kim Min-soo will leave for Mandora, where Herard Pique is the owner of the team.

Spain's La Liga 2 club Mandora agreed on a lease contract between Girona FC and Kim Min-soo on the 15th (Korea time) through official SNS. South Korean Kim Min-soo, who is just 19 years old, will play for Andorra this season, and has already joined the first preseason training session led by coach Ibai Gomes later in the day, he announced.

Mandora Kim Min-soo, born in 2006, was born in Korea, but his soccer career grew up in Catalonia. He moved to Girona three seasons ago and later grew into a talented winger and made his first-team debut. Although he was registered as a member of Girona B last season, he made his debut in Spain's La Liga against Las Palmas and later played two more times in the first team under coach Mitchell Sanchez. He also played in two Copa del Rey games and made his debut in the European Champions League (UCL) against PSV Eindhoven. 'Welcome Kim Min-soo,' he said, introducing Kim Min-soo in detail.




Kim Min-soo is expected to receive many opportunities at Mandora as Pique has directly recruited as the owner of the team. Ahead of the transfer, Spanish media Sport reportedly requested the recruitment by Pique himself. Pique is also said to have asked Girona to lease Jastin Garcia'

Although it is not the five major European leagues or the first division of other European countries, La Liga 2 is a high-quality stage. If you can show good potential in La Liga 2, you can immediately get a chance in La Liga, a big league.

Mandora wasn't the only one who wanted Kim Min-soo. Spain's Estadio Debortivo is interested in Kim Min-soo, one of the most highly anticipated players in Girona in June. Kim Min-soo, a 19-year-old South Korean who came to Girona's youth team two years ago, has to decide his future after the promotion playoff final. Currently, several teams in the second division of Spain's La Liga are trying to recruit Kim Min-soo.

Kim Min-soo may still be an unfamiliar name to Korean soccer fans, but he is a next-generation prospect who is growing remarkably. Immediately after graduating from elementary school, he left for Spain and began testing his possibilities. Kim Min-soo, who joined Girona in the 2022 season, has set the stage for his entry into the professional stage in the U-19 team.

He rose to Girona B team, and he was constantly called to the first-team training and established himself as a rising star. In particular, from the summer of 2024, he also joined the first-team pre-season training and received positive reviews from local leaders. Prior to the start of last season, he re-signed with Girona.

When Girona suffered an injury crisis, head coach Mitchell Sanchez called Kim Min-soo to the first team and succeeded in making his La Liga debut. He is Korea's eighth player in La Liga. Since then, he has succeeded in making his UCL debut, becoming the youngest Korean to rank second. The best scenario is that Kim Min-soo seeks to compete for the first place in Girona after proving his talent in Mandora.
