Seung-ho Baek (27), a former national soccer team midfielder, will play in the English League 1 (third division) this season as well.
British media Birmingham World reported on the 31st (Korean time), “Birmingham has rejected the transfer negotiations for Seung-ho Baek proposed by Leeds United and Sheffield United of the English Championship (second division).”
He continued, “Birmingham immediately rejected the transfer offers from Leeds and Sheffield United on the last day of the transfer window. Birmingham will continue to play with Seung-ho Baek this season,” adding, “Birmingham manager Chris Davies sees Seung-ho Baek as a key player for the team.”
Baek Seung-ho, who joined Birmingham in January last year, became a regular player for the team immediately after his transfer, but was unable to prevent the team’s relegation.
With Birmingham relegated to the third division, Baek Seung-ho was expected to find a new team. In fact, several Championship teams, including Leeds and Sheffield, showed interest in Baek Seung-ho. A soccer insider said, “Baek Seung-ho will transfer to a Championship team.”
However, Birmingham, who are challenging for promotion this season, decided to keep Baek Seung-ho, who is the team’s key player.
Baek Seung-ho is playing as the team’s starting midfielder, having played full-time in three consecutive matches since the start of this season’s Ligue 1.
Birmingham, which boasted huge capital even in the Championship, decided to quickly escape the third division rather than sending players and earning transfer fees, and did not send Baek Seung-ho. In addition, Birmingham strengthened its power by bringing in Celtic defensive midfielder Tomoki Iwata (Japan) on the last day of the transfer market.
Baek Seung-ho, whose transfer through the summer transfer market fell through, can seek a transfer through the winter transfer market that opens in January next year.
