Team Talk in England on the 18th (Korea time) is 'Stoke City has no intention of selling Bae Joon-ho. But Feyenoord wants him very much' and, according to the source, Feyenoord is going all out to recruit him'
The Dutch media '1908' reported on the 17th that Feyenoord is preparing to recruit Bae Jun-ho. '1908' is considered the first tier when it comes to Feyenoord news. The media reported that `Feyenoord is convinced that Bae Jun-ho is instantly in full force' and"is in direct contact with Root 1 Sports, Bae's agency.'
TeamTalk goes one step further and believes the deal will be completed and will offer a transfer fee of 8 million pounds (about W14 billion). At this level, Stoke City could consider selling Bae Joon-ho, he said, even mentioning a specific ransom. Stoke City, however, is adamant. TeamTalk explained 'Stoke City didn't put a price tag on it' and sees him as a key player for the 2024-2025 season to qualify for the playoffs'
Carlton Palmer, who served as England's representative when he was a player, also said in an exclusive interview with British media outlet Football League World on the 19th that `Stoke City should not sell Bae Joon-ho this summer.' "Bae Jun-ho had a fantastic season with Stoke City last season and was named the club's player of the year," Palmer said. "He is attracting attention elsewhere for his performance. He received attention at the U-20 World Cup, moved to England and was called up to the first senior national team, and will also participate in the process of advancing to the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup finals."
Palmer finally says "Stoke City doesn't plan to sell Bae Jun-ho unless it's an incredible offer"They think he'll be a big asset. Schumacher explained, "We are building a squad for promotion next season."
Unlike the noisy outside situation, Bae Joon-ho has been flying hard since the pre-season.
Bae Joon-ho scored multiple goals in a friendly match against Cork City at Turners Cross in Cork, Ireland on the 18th. Stoke City won a 5-0 victory with Bae Joon-ho's strong performance. Bae Joon-ho, who warmed up his senses by recording help in the first preseason game against Chester FC in England's sixth division on the 13th, scored a goal in the second game. Bae Joon-ho, who scored offensive points in two consecutive games, raised expectations for the new season.
Bae Joon-ho, who started, shook the Cork City net with a right-footed mid-range shot in the 25th minute of the first half when his team was leading 1-0. City scored against England during Euro 2000 when Luis Figo scored a goal. It was a scene where you can see Bae Jun-ho's skill and boldness. Four minutes later, he got a ground ball pass by actively participating in the attack and scored his second goal. Bae Joon-ho is showing his best performance from the pre-season, just as he continued his strong performance last season.
Bae Jun-ho wore a Stoke uniform last summer. He adapted quickly and performed better than expected. He scored two goals and five assists in 38 games. Bae Joon-ho, who has been selected three times as a member of the club 'Player of the Month', became a fan's choice 'Stoke Player of the Year' after the end of the season. Bae Jun-ho, who saved his team from relegation, became the "King of Stoke". Based on this performance, Bae Joon-ho joined the A national team, and in June against Singapore, he scored his debut and debut goal.
Many clubs are already showing interest when a player who is only 20 years old shows his top performance in the English Championship (second division) in less than a year. Team Talk 'Feyenoord is not the only club interested in Bae Jun-ho. According to the sources, the German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A clubs, and three English Premier League teams are watching Bae Jun-ho's moves. As a result of Sports Chosun's coverage, Bae Joon-ho's side has already met with Feyenoord locally. From the EPL team, it was concluded that the official offer came. Bae Joon-ho's side is in a position to watch the situation rather than pushing ahead with the transfer.
Amid the courtship in the big leagues, Bae Joon-ho has shown his best performance since the pre-season, further raising his value. Bae Joon-ho will play his third preseason game against Crew Alexandra (England Division 4) on the 24th.
