Unfortunately, the transfer of the future of Korean soccer to big clubs was not made this summer. However, depending on whether you are active or not, opportunities can come again in winter.

The German leading magazine Kicker reported on the 3rd (Korea time) 'S Stuttgart's struggle for Oh Hyun-kyu, it was all over with Genk refusing to rent it'

Oh Hyun-kyu's transfer was unfortunately canceled ahead of his trip to the big league this summer. It was a sudden transfer work ahead of the closing of the transfer market this summer. Oh Hyun-kyu, who was originally expected to play as the main Genk player, was courted by the Bundesliga. The transfer proceeded with Stuttgart's intention to pay a whopping 20 million euros for recruiting Oh Hyun-kyu to fill the void of Nick Voltemade, who was the main striker.




It looked smooth. Immediately, a medical test was conducted. Dennis Baier, a reporter for Sky Sports in Germany, said 'Oh Hyun-kyu arrived at the club center after completing medical tests. Bilal El Canus also arrived. 'The transfer of Buonani, Elcanus and Oh Hyun-kyu is expected to be completed soon'

At the last minute, the problem broke out. Oh Hyun-kyu's transfer, who arrived in Stuttgart, has not been announced, and further negotiations between the clubs have been reported. Soon after, the transfer market closed, and news broke out that Oh Hyun-kyu's transfer collapsed. Oh Hyun-kyu's trip to Stuttgart eventually failed, and the door to the summer transfer market was closed.

The kicker added '27 million in transfer fees at the time and €1 million in bonuses are being discussed. But the work, which was a routine transfer, ended with unfortunate consequences for both sides. Oh Hyun-kyu suffered a cruciate ligament rupture as a child, but he was able to fulfill his calling as a professional player for the next nine years without any problems. However, the medical findings of his knee raised concerns for VfB. Since then, Stuttgart tried to push ahead with the transfer, but there was a disagreement over the transfer fee. Genk insisted on 28 million euros and Stuttgart's loan offer, including a transfer option, was rejected. 'This was the final step, and eventually it was stopped about an hour before the end of the transfer window.'"

However, the failure of this transfer did not completely close Oh Hyun-kyu's possibility of going to the big leagues. The embers were still alive. The kicker said 'Oh Hyun-kyu returned to Genk, but there is a possibility that he will be sold for a transfer fee again next winter. Stuttgart will also watch the situation and consider recruiting again,' he said, explaining that Stuttgart could try again to recruit Oh Hyun-kyu.

Since he is a player with sufficient potential, we can expect to make a big league leap again after his performance this season. Oh Hyun-kyu entered the European stage wearing a Celtic uniform in the 2022-2023 season. In the first season, he made a soft landing with seven goals in 21 games under coach Enze Postecoglou, but immediately the next season's manager change changed the situation with Brandon Rogers taking over as the new manager. Oh Hyun-kyu, who lost his chance after being completely behind in the main competition, headed to the Belgian stage, taking on the challenge instead of settling down.

Oh Hyun-kyu, who joined Genk, expanded his position on the bench with a solid performance even though he was not the main player. Of the 36 league games in the first season, only three were selected, but he scored nine goals and two assists. Ahead of the 2025-2026 season, Genk decided to sell the existing main striker and put Oh Hyun-kyu as a new flagship striker. Oh Hyun-kyu also started the first four games of the season, scoring one goal and one assist. For Oh Hyun-kyu, the immediate failure of the transfer may be regrettable, but there is hope because the big league's interest is alive. If he plays properly as the main striker in Genk this season, his value is likely to be higher than this summer.




The big transfer of the South Korean national team goaltender to hit the summer failed, but Oh Hyun-kyu's value has already proved to be an attractive offer. It is only up to Oh Hyun-kyu's toes this season to change his hope of going to the big league into a transfer.
