'National University Striker' Oh Hyun-kyu's entry into the big league has begun counting down.

Reporter Shasha Tabolieri of Belgium 'HNL', who is considered the first tier in Belgium, said Oh Hyun-kyu's transfer to Stuttgart is imminent through his personal channel. Stuttgart and Genk have made progress in negotiations for a transfer fee of 28 million euros (about 45 billion won). Oh said he had already headed to Stuttgart for a five-year contract. Multiple German media also reported that `Oh Hyun-kyu is scheduled to join Stuttgart and will conduct a medical test on the 1st.'

According to HNL, Genk is likely to break the club's highest transfer fee through Oh Hyun-kyu. Recently, Genk sent Tolu Arocodare to Wolverhampton for 27 million euros. Oh Hyun-kyu is said to be worth more than this. Oh Hyun-kyu did not play in the previous match against Jules Barreham. HNL says 'Suttgart's offer is difficult for Genk to reject easily. Stuttgart have raised enough money for Nick Boltemade's move to Newcastle, he said.

Subsequently, a replacement seems to have been prepared. HBVL said 'Henk signs Youssef Erabi for Hambarby, Sweden' The media said 'Eravi initially wanted a main position and preferred honeymoon to Genk. However, the situation changed due to Oh Hyun-kyu's transfer, and Erabi chose to go to Genk. The transfer fee is estimated at €5 million.

Oh Hyun-kyu left Suwon Samsung for Celtic in January 2023. Oh Hyun-kyu's confidence, who shot a career high in Suwon, continued at Celtic. He scored seven goals in 21 games in his first season, recognizing his potential. However, the situation has changed with the new appointment of Brendan Rodgers. In the end, he moved to Genk, Belgium, last summer and chose a new challenge.

Oh Hyun-kyu played a great role as a super joker in Genk. Oh Hyun-kyu was recognized for his ability by exploding nine goals in the league and 12 goals in all competitions. His scoring ability per minute was one of the best in Europe. Genk has set up a new offensive team ahead of this season. Oh Hyun-kyu has become the main striker. Oh Hyun-kyu scored from the beginning and continued his momentum.

Stuttgart paid attention to Oh Hyun-kyu. Voltemade, who emerged as the team's main gun with 17 goals last season, left for Newcastle for a whopping £69 million, and Stuttgart searched for a new striker. That was Oh Hyun-kyu. He offered a large amount of money to Oh Hyun-kyu, who was recognized for his scoring ability in Belgium, and was close to holding it.

If Oh Hyun-kyu's transfer to Stuttgart is completed, it will be comparable to the transfer fee (30 million euros) recorded when Son Heung-min left Leverkusen for Tottenham. When Genk brought Oh Hyun-kyu from Celtic, he invested 2.7 million euros, which resulted in a 10-fold profit in a year. Unlike other positions, it is good news to smile from the perspective of Korean soccer, which did not have a big leaguer on the front line.

The Bundesliga transfer market closes at 6 p.m. local time on the 1st (1 a.m. on the 2nd in Korea).
