An official from the transfer market said on the 24th that Pohang is about to recruit Chungnam Asan striker Juninho. The transfer was made by putting cash on Pohang defender Choi Hyun-woong and midfielder Kim Jung-hyun. It will be one of the best big deals in the transfer market." It added Juningyo to the existing Lee Ho-jae, Ahn Jae-joon, Kim In-sung, Hong Yoon-sang, and Giorgi to build a stronger offense than in the 2024 season.
Juninho was the star of the sensation that shook K League 2 in the 2024 season. Juninho, who entered the K-League by joining Gimpo FC in the 2023 season, moved to Asan, Chungnam, ahead of this season and recorded 12 goals and 8 assists in 36 games. He was the No. 1 player in Asan, South Chungcheong Province. In the playoff against Daegu, he also saved his promotion until the last minute with two goals and one assist. He stood out in all of his offensive abilities, including speed, stable dribbling, and calmness in the final third area. He was selected as the best-Eleven of the K League 2 season and was selected as the best 11 times in the round nine times during the season. He was also nominated for the K League 2 Player of the Year, but unfortunately did not win the award.
Although he signed a two-year contract with Chungnam Asan, interest in Juninho was already hot after the end of the season.A K-League official said, `Juninho is a player who will definitely work in K-League 1,' adding, `Juninho will be attracting attention because he will be a powerful player in K-League 1 as well.'

Asan, South Chungcheong Province, held Pohang's hand. In Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, Pohang's proposal was inevitably satisfactory enough. Coach Bae Sung-jae, who newly took the helm of Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, wanted to bring in Choi Hyun-woong, a former student. He also succeeded in reinforcing the defense by recruiting Choi Hyun-woong. Kim Jung-hyun also has such good potential that he was mentioned as a K League 2 Young Player Award through a loan in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, last season. The two players also chose to transfer to take more chances in Asan, South Chungcheong Province.
Initially, it was reported that Park Tae-ha wanted to add weight to the offense in the transfer market this winter. Juninho is a striker with the skills that coach Park wanted, and he is expected to be able to further upgrade the Pohang offense.Through the strong offense, we can expect to challenge the Korea Cup for the third consecutive time and perform better in the league.
Pohang, which recruits Juninho, has quickly secured captain Wandelson by renewing his contract. Giorgi, Auverdan and Aspro will also remain in place until the next season. It seems that it plans to complete the formation of foreign players by recruiting Juninho. Wandelson, Giorgi, Oberdan, and Juninho 'Brazil's Four People' will build a more solid power. In addition, it is reported that it is planning to complete the transfer market in a way that generally maintains the existing squad.
Pohang, where Juninho is scheduled to join, is expected to leave for Taegeuk Hua Hin, a training site, through Incheon International Airport immediately after the team's call-up on January 4.
