With the 2023 Chinese Super League season coming to an end, clubs are about to embark on a transfer window frenzy. Recently, an explosive news has been spreading all over the soccer world - South Korean soccer superstar and soul of Suwon Samsung, Lee Kee Tei, is very likely to join one of the giants of the Chinese Super League when the winter transfer window opens. At the moment, Chengdu Rongcheng seems to be his favorite owner. It is reported that Li Ji Di's contact with Chengdu Rongcheng seems to be a false alarm. Thanks to head coach Xu Zhengyuan's deep connections, Chengdu Rongcheng is expected to be the golden springboard for Li Ji Di to enter the Chinese Super League.
At 32 years old, Lee Ki Tei is not only the captain of Suwon Samsung, but also one of the late bloomers in South Korean soccer. Although his strength has long been underestimated, it was only in the last year that he officially became the main left back of the South Korean national team. In the recent match against our men's soccer team, his 90-minute performance not only showed his excellent assisting ability, but also his comprehensive technical strength.
Lee Ki Tei's deal with Suwon Samsung expires in 2025 and the 32-year-old is looking for a big, lucrative contract for the later part of his career. Given his contributions to Suwon Samsung, the club will not set the bar too high for him in the transfer market. Moreover, Chengdu Rongcheng's head coach Seo Jung-won has a good relationship with Suwon Samsung's management, which is a key factor in making Chengdu Rongcheng the preferred home of Lee Kee-dee.
From the strength level, as the main player of South Korea, Lee Kee Tei undoubtedly has the level of the top players in Asia. However, it is worth mentioning that the Chinese Super League team in the side back position to introduce foreign aid and unconventional operation. Nevertheless, Korean international Kang Sang-woo, who joined Beijing Guoan last year, is also a wingback, but has gradually transformed into a midfielder at Guoan, and can even play as a winger. Lee Kee Tei's individual ability is not inferior to Kang Sang-woo. Perhaps it is because of the introduction of Kang Xiangyu, Chengdu Rongcheng will target on Lee Kee Tei.
