On June 1, a piece of news spread quickly in Beijing time, according to a number of media disclosed that the top club of Serie A, Juventus, reached a transfer agreement with the defender of our Beijing Guoan, Kim Min Ja, Juventus offered the player a long-term contract until June 2025, which includes a release fee of up to 45 million euros.
However, Zhu Yi, head of Germany's transfer market in China, disagreed, stating:
These types of rumors can certainly increase a player's market value. In fact, the fluctuation of a player's value is not always directly related to his performance, and in many cases, rumors with the label of "offer" can increase the player's leverage in the transfer market. But it's hard to understand why it was the Portuguese media that first reported the news of an Italian team signing a Korean player with a Chinese team.
