The latest revelation from the Korean media is that 31-year-old striker Iyotsenko, Jeonbuk Hyundai's star player, is experiencing twists and turns in his journey to the Chinese Super League.
Recently, Iyutsenko has become the center of attention of Chinese Super League clubs. According to local media reports, two clubs, Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Harbor, showed great interest in him, and Iyutsenko agreed to the conditions offered by Shandong Taishan. However, to this day, there has been no new progress on Iyutsenko's transfer.
Iyuchenko's contract with Jeonbuk Hyundai expires in December. Jeonbuk will undoubtedly receive a significant transfer fee for Iyuchenko's departure, but at the same time, Iyuchenko's offensive performance on the field is crucial to the team, and his absence could have a significant impact on their performance, especially given the team's current poor situation.
According to Sports Weekly, Iyuchenko was recommended by Sun Junhao when he was in Shandong, and he himself has a strong desire to land in the Chinese Super League. However, the negotiation process between Shandong and Jeonbuk was not smooth, and Shandong is now actively exploring the possibility of facilitating the transfer.
Since joining the K-League in 2019, the 1'89" Iyotsenko has excelled. In his first season, he scored nine goals and finished among the league's top scorers with 19 goals in the 2020 season. Last season, he contributed 15 goals to the team after moving to Jeonbuk and played a crucial role in helping them win the league title.
