Not only Italy's Serie A but also Wrexham of the English Championship (second division) were mentioned as destinations for Jesse Lingard (34, former FC Seoul).
Britain's "The Mirror" reported on the 29th (Korea Standard Time) that "Former Manchester United star Lingard sought to return to the EPL, but is now weighing on a transfer to Italy."
Citing an exclusive report by the Daily Mail, the media explained, "Lingard has spoken with multiple British clubs in the January transfer market, but is currently in "progress negotiations" with Serie A clubs."
Lingard finished accompanying FC Seoul in December last year. After choosing to go to the K-League in February 2024, he played in 67 games in Seoul, scoring 19 goals and 10 assists, playing as a key offensive resource for the team. Leaving Seoul, Lingard said, "My time in Korea has been incredible. He also said goodbye, "I will be grateful for the love and support of my fans for the rest of my life."
If Lingard chooses to go to Italy, he will take on a new challenge on the Serie A stage, where Manchester United teammates such as Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hailun (Naples) are active. Local media believe that Lingard, who is in his mid-30s, is more suitable for the Italian stage, which values tactical perfection than England, which has a fast tempo.
Meanwhile, United's legendary striker Dwight Yorke also handed Lingard a "surprise recommendation." "It could be the last challenge for Lingard," York said, referring to Wrexham in the English Championship, where Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds is the owner. Helping Wrexham get promoted is a good way to return to the level he craves," he advised. However, it is known that Lingard is considering the top division rather than the second division of Europe.
With the closing of the European transfer market imminent, fans are paying attention to whether Lingard, the "fiferous man," will return to Europe from Italy.
