On the evening of January 14, Beijing time, Bayern officially announced the introduction of 18-year-old South Korean youngster Lee Hyun-su, the player joined as a loan, and Bayern had the right to buy out.
In 2019, Bayern reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the Korean Football Association. But the year before, Bayern had already brought in young players from South Korea, and he was Incheon United striker Jeong You-young, with a transfer fee of 700,000 euros. After playing a season in Bayern U19, he moved to Freiburg for 2 million euros. It is understood that now Bayern wants to buy back Zheng Youying, and the cost is about 10 million euros.
This year marks the third year of Bayern's strategic cooperation with the Korean Football Association, and Bayern has made another move. This time they loaned 18-year-old midfielder Lee Hyun-su from Pohang Ironman. Although Lee Hyun-joo is not a permanent transfer this time, Bayern has the right to buy out.
Lee Hyun-joo has served as the captain of the national U16, but he has no experience in major competitions in each echelon. It is understood that Lee Hyun-suke was spotted by Bayern in a youth tournament.
A month ago, Bayern had just brought in an 18-year-old goalkeeper from Three Towns in Wuhan for a transfer fee of €1 million. In just one month, Bayern have signed two consecutive 18-year-olds in Asia.
Previously, Bayern CEO Rummenigge had been trying to bring in a Chinese player, but had never found the right one. Liu Shaoziyang was favored, which was already a good start.
