South Korea's national striker Oh Hyun-kyu (Henk) suffered from the failure of the transfer as Germany's Stuttgart and Genk failed to reach an agreement in the final negotiations with about an hour left before the deadline for the German transfer market on the 2nd. The transfer was canceled at a time when the team was delayed by a day and the medical test was conducted in Stuttgart. Stuttgart tried to lower the transfer fee, citing Oh Hyun-kyu's history of injuring his cruciate ligament nine years ago, and offered a loan contract that was not fully recruited, but Genk did not accept it. This is because there is no reason to transfer Oh Hyun-kyu, a key player, unless it is a large amount of 28 million euros (about 45 billion won).
Here, there is a player who has a more sad story than Oh Hyun-kyu. Jota Silva is a Portuguese winger who plays for Nottingham Forest in England.
According to Portuguese media 'Hecord', Jota received the attention of Portugal's prestigious Sporting after the Brazilian transfer to Botafogo failed in the transfer window last summer.

It was a race against time afterwards. Officials from Sporting and Nottingham have exchanged transfer papers. Sporting received the final document at around 11:45 p.m. and emailed it to the secretariat. It was 0:01 after midnight when the secretariat received the email.
Jota had already been registered as a Sporting Player through FIFA TMS (transfer matching system), but was denied registration to the league by a minute.
Sporting tried to get document approval, citing technical issues, but the efforts did not come to fruition. Jota's dream of returning to Portugal did not come true, and he was forced to stay in Nottingham.
Jota, a Portuguese lower league native, rose to prominence after joining Vitoria Guimarães in 2022 and attracted the attention of the big leagues by exploding 15 goals, including 11 in the 2023-2024 season of the Primerra Liga. He was also selected as Portugal's team of the year.
In the summer of 2024, he moved to Nottingham for a transfer fee of about 7 million euros (about 11.3 billion won) and scored three goals in 31 EPL games.
Jota, who did not go through the Portuguese national team by age, was surprisingly selected to the Portugal A national team in March 2024 and made his debut through a friendly match against Sweden.
