Wolverhampton reject Marseille’s ‘37.4 billion’ offer to sign Hwang Hee-chan
Hwang Hee-chan (28, Wolverhampton) will not be leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) this summer.
On July 12 (KST), Sky Sports reporter Liam Thomas said on his personal social networking service (SNS), “Wolves have rejected Marseille’s offer for Hwang Hee-chan. Wolves have rejected Marseille’s offer for Hwang Hee-chan, who is considered a Not For Sale player.”
Thomas is considered to be one of the most reliable journalists when it comes to the English soccer transfer market. Therefore, it is unlikely that Hwang will leave the club this summer.
Recently, it was reported that Marseille (France) is targeting Hwang Hee-chan. On the 5th, the French ‘L’Equipe’ reported that “French prestige Marseille is aiming to sign South Korean international striker Hwang Hee-chan. Hwang Hee-chan is a unanimous candidate for signing, having been recognized by Marseille’s management and verified by coach Roberto De Zervi,” and reported that Marseille is interested in signing Hwang Hee-chan.
Hwang had a career-high season last season. He scored 12 goals in the 카지노사이트 추천 English Premier League (EPL), tying him with Mateusz Cunha as the team’s top scorer. He became a key ace up front, leading Wolves’ attack from the front.
His performances have earned him a long-term contract extension. In December of last year, Hwang was rewarded for his performance by signing a new contract with Wolves until 2028. He was recognized as a true ace of the team.
Hwang’s performances at Brighton & Hove Albion last season were so impressive that De Jervy himself wanted to sign him. The new Marseille boss saw him as a player who would add to his team’s attacking options and tried to sign him.
But Wolves were determined. Marseille made a €25 million (approx. KRW 374 million) bid for Hwang, but Wolves rejected the offer and kept Hwang. They declared ‘Not For Sale’ and vowed to never sell Hwang in the summer transfer market.
