There is a local report predicting that national team fullback Seol Young-woo (Ulsan) will transfer to Serbian soccer club Crvena Zvezda.

Zvezda is the team of national team regular midfielder Hwang In-beom.

According to Serbian media outlet Sportal on the 31st of last month (local time), Zvezda is currently carrying out an ‘operation to recruit Seol Young-woo’.

Sportal reported that Marco Marin, Zvezda's recruitment manager, went to Doha, Qatar, where the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup will be held, and discussed transfer-related issues with the player and the club.

However, unlike this media outlet, which stated that the transfer was 'on the verge of completion', Ulsan HD's position is that negotiations between the clubs have not yet progressed to the level reported.

It is true that an official recruitment offer was made, but Ulsan said that no separate team personnel stayed in Qatar to respond to the transfer, as reported.

Zvezda appears to be trying to recruit Seol Young-woo to fill the gap in the side defense created when fullback Kosta Nebelkovic returned to his former club Aston Villa at the end of his loan period.

Sportal cited Seol Young-woo's ability to play both sides as a representative advantage.

Seol Young-woo, born in 1998, debuted in the professional soccer K-League in 2020 and has been playing exclusively in Ulsan.

He appeared in 111 games in the K League, scoring 5 goals and 10 assists.

In the 2023 season, he was named one of the K League 1 Best 11 Defenders, becoming the league's best fullback.

At the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held in September and October last year, he won a gold medal as a member of Hwang Seon-hong, and there was speculation that he would have a high possibility of advancing to the European stage by resolving his military service issue.

Coach Jurgen Klinsmann has also been consistently selecting Seol Young-woo since taking office as the national team head coach at the end of February last year.

In this Asian Cup, he is the starting fullback and is in charge of Klinsmann's side defense.

Zvezda, based in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is a prestigious team that has won the regular league and cup competitions for three consecutive seasons.

They have a history of winning the 'Yugoslav First Division', which was the highest league in the region before Yugoslavia collapsed due to civil war in the 1990s, 19 times.

They are the strongest team in name and reality, having won the Serbian Superliga nine times.

Starting from the 2017-2018 season, they achieved 6 consecutive wins.

As such, they are regular guests at club competitions hosted by UEFA.

In the 1990-1991 season, he also took the throne in the European Cup, the predecessor of the UEFA Champions League.

Last September, midfielder Hwang In-beom left Greece's Olympiakos and joined Zvezda.

Former Pohang Steelers striker Ko Young-jun also entered the Serbian stage by joining FK Partizan, which is considered one of the best teams in Serbia along with Zvezda, on the 23rd.

The two teams are competing fiercely for the lead this season.

Partizan is in first place with 15 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses (47 points), while Zvezda (15 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses, 46 points) is in second place with a difference of 1 point.
