Kim Min-soo, a 2006 striker from Gwangju who played in the UEFA Champions League last season as a member of Spain's Girona, joined La Liga 2 (second division) FC Andora, where Spanish legend Gerard Pique is the owner. First of all, it's in the form of a lease.
On the 15th (Korea time), Andorra signed a contract with the Girona club to recruit Kim Min-soo on loan through the club's official website. Kim Min-soo will play for Andorra in the new season and will play his first pre-season training session this afternoon under the guidance of coach Ibai Gomes" he announced.
The recruitment was reportedly made by Andorra club owner Gerard Pique himself. This is the result of Pique's eye on Kim Min-soo's talent.
Kim Min-soo grew up in Spain during his youth. After going through Mercantile Academy and CF Dam Academy, he signed with Girona B team in January 2023 and transferred to Girona. He then made his first-team debut in the 2024-2025 season. Kim Min-soo, who took the La Liga stage, also took the Copa del Rey stage and even the UEFA Champions League stage. Kim Min-soo, who entered the Champions League at 18 years, 9 months, and 18 days, was recorded as the youngest Korean player to play in the Champions League after Lee Kang-in (18 years, 6 months and 30 days).
Kim Min-soo extended his contract with Girona until 2027 in August last year. However, Girona seems to have decided that it would be better to give Kim Min-soo more chances to play in the new season. And the loan transfer was made at the request of owner Pique, who was paying attention to Kim Min-soo's talent.
Pique, who is currently the owner of Andorra, took over Andorra in 2018 and became the owner of the team. After Pique took over as owner, Andorra fell to the third division in the 2023-2024 season, but was promoted to the second division in one season. This season's goal is to promote La Liga. If Kim Min-soo contributes to Andorra's promotion to the first division, it is expected to increase its stock price across Europe.
