Oh Hyun-kyu is about to join Stuttgart.
Dennis Baier, a reporter for Sky Sports in Germany, said on the 1st (Korea time) 'Oh Hyun-kyu arrived at the club center after completing the medical test. Bilal El Canus also arrived. 'The transfer of Buonani, Elcanus and Oh Hyun-kyu is expected to be completed soon'
Oh Hyun-kyu first stepped into the European stage due to his transfer to Celtic in the 2022-2023 season. Although he performed well with seven goals in 21 games in his first season, the situation has changed with the new appointment of manager Brandon Rogers at Celtic. Eventually, he took on a new challenge last summer and headed to the Belgian stage. Even after moving to Belgium, he did not receive many opportunities. He had to take the opportunity to play as a bench member rather than a main player. However, Oh Hyun-kyu consistently scored despite few chances, and even prepared to leap to a new main striker ahead of this season.

In this situation, Bundesliga's proposal arrives, and Oh Hyun-kyu faces a tremendous opportunity to take his career to the next level. News poured in suddenly from the 1st. The Netherlands' HLN plans to invest 28 million euros (about 45 billion won) in Stuttgart's recruitment of Oh Hyun-kyu, and there is a possibility that Genk will break a new transfer fee record. After sending Tulu Arokodare to Wolverhampton for 27 million euros, Stuttgart could sign Oh Hyun-kyu for the highest price. Oh Hyun-kyu did not play in the previous match against Jules Barreham. Genk signed him for €2.7 million and served as a super-sub. Oh Hyun-kyu played in 47 games for Genk and scored 14 goals and four assists, he said.
Then 'Stuttgart's proposal is one that Genk cannot easily reject. Stuttgart have raised enough money for Nick Boltemade's move to Newcastle and are willing to pay up to 28 million euros. The key to Oh Hyun-kyu's transfer is the recruitment of Genk's replacement. He predicted Oh Hyun-kyu's high possibility of transfer, saying, 'It's almost confirmed situation.

Stuttgart's Voltemade, which was initially struggling with the transfer, moved on to Newcastle's big offer, and also raised a transfer fee to fill the vacancy. From Stuttgart's point of view, it is not a waste of investment to recruit Oh Hyun-kyu, as he has already made a large amount of money. The news of the transfer has already been revealed through the mouth of Korean national team coach Hong Myung-bo. Coach Hong said in an interview before leaving for the U.S. for an away warm-up match at Incheon International Airport at 10 a.m. on the 1st, `No decision has been made yet. There is a little time left (for the transfer market to close)," he said cautiously. Oh Hyun-kyu's transfer fee is higher than 22 million euros for Lee Kang-in, who moved from Mallorca to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023, 19 million euros for Kim Min-jae, who moved from Fenerbahce to Napoli in 2022, and 16.7 million euros for Hwang Hee-chan, who transferred from Leipzig to Wolverhampton in 2021.
By completing the medical test, Oh will wear his new uniform and get a chance to play in the top five European leagues in earnest. The birth of a new big league striker in the South Korean national team is imminent.
