Jeonbuk Hyundai, a professional soccer team, is close to signing Kim Moon-hwan, a right-back fullback for the national team.
It is known that Jeonbuk has completed most of the procedures to sign Kim Moon-hwan, who is from MLS LA FC.
A Jeonbuk official said today (19th), "If Kim Moon-hwan arrives in Korea and passes the medical test, he will wear the Jeonbuk uniform."
LA FC also announced through their website that Kim Moon-hwan has moved to Jeonbuk.
Kim Mun-hwan, who wants to strengthen his position in the national team ahead of the World Cup in Jeonbuk and Qatar, where he has fallen to 11th place, which is in the relegation zone, with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, including 3 consecutive losses, coincided with Jeonbuk, where the self-esteem of the 'defending champion' is urgently needed.
Kim Mun-hwan was consistently selected for the Bentoo until 2019 and played an A match.
However, after leaving Busan I'Park in January of last year and joining LA FC, he gradually moved away from the national team.
Kim Mun-hwan appeared in 28 regular league matches at LA FC, of which he started 20 times, scoring 1 goal and 2 assists. He was selected twice for the American Major League Soccer 'Team of the Week'.
