Suwon FC's defense core'national center back Kwon Kyung-won (32) is likely to transfer to the UAE League.

According to a K-League official on the 17th, the UAE's Corpacan Club is hoping to recruit Kwon Kyung-won as a 'proven defender' ahead of the opening of the new season.

Kwon Kyung-won, a native of Jeonbuk Hyundai Youth Youngsaeng High School, played for Al Ahli in the UAE professional league for three seasons from 2014-2015 to 2016-2017, winning the league and leading the Super Cup to two consecutive seasons. The Korpacan club, which avoided relegation to 12th place in the league last season, has eyeed Kwon Kyung-won, a left-footed center back who was proven early in the UAE League. It is known that he promised irresistible 'highest treatment'.



Kwon Kyung-won, who ranks fifth in Suwon FC's league this season and is firmly at the center of defense, is regrettable for his team and fans. Concerns about the transfer of the defensive ace, who secured the team's points by hitting a self-congratulatory shot in 100 K League 1 games against Daegu on the 14th, are coming to reality.

Kwon Kyung-won, who experienced UAE Al-Ahli in 2014-2017 after entering the professional league wearing Jeonbuk Hyundai's uniform in 2013, Tianjin Quanjian in China in 2017-2019, and Gamba Osaka in 2022-2023, joined Suwon FC earlier this year 'surprise'. The condition for the surprise transfer was that he would always support his dream of trying abroad. There is an offer from an overseas league, and there is an option clause that players can play whenever they want.



In a recent interview, Kwon Kyung-won asked 'Is there a possibility of saying goodbye to Suwon FC fans this summer?'"I don't know. "You have to be on the same wavelength with the teams you're talking to, so the transfer can be made." He said, "It may not take a long time to transfer, or it may happen overnight."There was room for it. "When I first came to Suwon, I wanted to try the overseas league again, but even if I can't go (overseas) because I don't have an appropriate offer in the transfer market this summer, I can entertain the fans with good performances in Suwon," he said, expressing satisfaction with his life in Suwon. In an interview after 100 K League 1 matches and an equalizer against Daegu, "I honestly want to win."," he said, his eyes shining. However, the atmosphere changed when Kwon Kyung-won's transfer offer was sent to the Corpacan Club on the 16th, 15 days before the closing of the K-League summer transfer market.

The national college center back is contemplating the best opportunity to return at the age of 32. Suwon FC has no choice but to send Kwon Kyung-won if the player wants to. Choi Soon-ho, head of Suwon FC, said "In the case of Kwon Kyung-won, there is no way to catch him because the contract clause is like that. If Kwon Kyung-won leaves, he will endure the rest of the season well with existing centerback resources such as Jackson, Kim Tae-han, and Choi Kyu-baek."
