Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, said on his personal SNS on the 11th (Korean time) that Hwang Hee-chan was considered an inaccessible player after Wolverhampton rejected 25 million euros (about 37.5 billion won) offered at the Olympique Marseille last summer, but Hwang Hee-chan is also on the list of recruits for several clubs in 2025" he said.
He then explained that "interest in Hwang Hee-chan is still high because Wolverhampton is in a complex situation under manager Gary O'Neill this season."
That's good news for Hwang Hee-chan. Hwang Hee-chan said, "Last season was an inflection point for my career. After joining Wolverhampton, Hwang Hee-chan did not have a big performance except in the early days of his loan career. In the end, after the 2022-2023 season, there was also talk locally that Hwang Hee-chan would be sold at Wolverhampton.
Hwang Hee-chan was strong in the crisis. He made the 2023-2024 season his year. Hwang Hee-chan did not play as a main player at the beginning of the season, but he made a clear impression when he played as a substitute.

As a result, the timing of the Asian Cup was very disappointing. Playing in the Asian Cup, Hwang Hee-chan was physically exhausted, and his scoring streak was broken when he was injured. He survived again at the end of the season and added two goals, but without the Asian Cup and injury, it was a season where he could have even scored 15 league goals.
Wolverhampton immediately repaid Hwang Hee-chan by renewing his contract. He offered to renew his contract until the summer of 2028, with the plan to keep Hwang Hee-chan's heyday. It was an exceptional condition that doubled the previous salary. Hwang Hee-chan also accepted the offer to renew his contract because he was satisfied with his life at Wolverhampton.
Hwang Hee-chan became one of the highest-paid players at Wolverhampton by renewing his contract. Even then, Romano said, "Hwang Hee-chan will be treated the same as the highest-paid players in the club with the new contract"It was reported.

However, O'Neill used Hwang Hee-chan in a different direction than last season, and Hwang Hee-chan did not shine in that role. Hwang Hee-chan lost his starting position due to injuries during the A-match in October. Hwang Hee-chan, who has returned from injury and is playing as a substitute, has not been able to leave an impact even after coming in as a substitute. He has no offensive points this season, so he cannot avoid criticism.

Fortunately, thanks to last season's performance, the batting team remained interested. Even if Wolverhampton is demoted, Hwang Hee-chan is expected to be able to transfer to another club. It is best to prevent Wolverhampton from being relegated by the revival of Hwang Hee-chan, but the current reality is that we have to assume the worst.
