An official from the transfer market said on the 28th "Kim Shin-jin will leave for E-Land for the rest of the season." The transfer was made at E-Land's strong request to strengthen the offensive team."
Kim Shin-jin was a "hot seller" who received a number of love calls from the first and second teams this summer. Kim Shin-jin, who has power and a sense of goal stemming from his solid 1m86 and 82kg body, was popular in the market in that he is a multi-type striker who can take charge of front-line strikers, side strikers, and shadow strikers. The team that was most active in recruiting Kim Shin-jin was E-Land, led by head coach Kim Do-kyun. E-Land has been in contact with the Seoul club since the end of last month when the transfer market was held and expressed its willingness to recruit. It is said that a considerable amount of rent has been set.
However, Kim Shin-jin's future was not easily determined due to various variables. Seoul continued its remarkable performance this season with Ilyuchenko leading the scoring with 12 goals, but it did not have enough resources to support Ilyuchenko. If even Kim Shin-jin left with Dongjin Park on loan to Gyeongnam FC, he could suffer from the absence of a striker. Ronaldo, who was brought from the Portuguese stage this summer, did not give 100% confidence, perhaps because of the problem of adapting to the league. This was the reason why he couldn't easily give up Kim Shin-jin's card, which could be used in the second half.
On the day E-Land won a historic 5-2 away match in Gimpo on the 24th, a two-team agreement was reached in a surprise move. It was a condition to play until the match against Incheon and head to E-Land. Kim Shin-jin, who was included in the replacement list, was replaced by Ilyuchenko in the 36th minute of the second half with Kang Joo-hyuk's first goal in the first minute of the second half leading 1-0, supporting his team's victory by playing on the ground for about 10 minutes, including extra time. At the scene where left back Lee Tae-seok, who is about to move to Pohang, said goodbye to Seoul fans, Kim Shin-jin also shouted 'Hello for a moment'. Kim Shin-jin made his professional debut in Seoul, led by former Sunmoon University coach Ahn Ik-soo in 2022, and has nine goals and one assist in 56 games so far.
Meanwhile, E-Land, who is trying to win his first promotion to the club, won a thousand troops. E-Land sent out Ikova and recruited Colombian striker Montagno, who played in Jeonnam, and even had proven Kim Shin-jin. Coach Kim Do-kyun, who pursues offensive soccer, will be able to make various changes to the offense. E-Land, which currently has 45 goals, the most in the K League 2, is in fourth place, the playoff spot, with 10 wins, 4 draws, 8 losses and 34 points. Kim Shin-jin, who will reunite with Osmar (E-Land), is expected to make his E-Land debut as early as Aug. 10 through a home game against Busan.
