Amid local news that Oh Hyun-kyu (25, KRC Genk) is about to transfer to Besikta, Turkiye, local reports in Turkiye have already made negative prospects.
Turkiye media Photospor reported on the 3rd (Korea time) that "For Oh Hyun-kyu, a transfer to Besiktashi to revitalize his career may be a reasonable option," but added, "For Besiktashi, it is questionable how right it would be to recruit Oh Hyun-kyu, who has recently shown a downward trend in his skills."
The media said, "Oh Hyun-kyu pushed for a transfer to Stuttgart (Germany) last summer It failed to pass the mechanical test, and recently, it has been pushed back in the main competition within the team, he said. "The Genk club claims that Stuttgart made an excuse to withdraw the contract, but the failure to transfer at that time also negatively affected Oh Hyun-kyu's performance."
"Oh Hyun-kyu, who was expected to become Genk's new offensive leader, failed to meet expectations after the transfer was canceled. "In the team, we are also behind young players such as Aaron Vibbut (22) and Robin Mirisola (20)," he said, adding, "Looking at Oh Hyun-kyu's recent performance, I don't think Besiktashi is the player he wants."
On this day, news of Oh Hyun-kyu's transfer agreement to Besiktashi was reported one after another from Belgian media as well as Turkiye media such as Photomachi. The transfer market of major European leagues, including the English Premier League (EPL), has already ended, but the Turkiye League is due on the 6th local time.
According to local reports, Besiktashi proposed a 12 million-euro offer (about 20.6 billion won) after being rejected by Genk and then proposed a higher transfer fee to 15 million euros (about 25.7 billion won) to reach an agreement between the clubs. Besikta City recently needed to reinforce its offense as Tammy Abraham left for Aston Villa, and it is in a situation where Oh Hyun-kyu was promoted to be recruited.
Earlier, rumors of Oh Hyun-kyu's transfer to Stuttgart in the German Bundesliga last summer and EPL Fulham in the transfer market this winter were raised. However, due to the history of knee cruciate ligament injuries in the past, Stuttgart's transfer has not happened, and rumors of a Fulham transfer have been finally canceled due to the recent closing of the EPL transfer market.
Oh Hyun-kyu, who scored in double digits for two consecutive seasons this season, including six Belgian professional league goals and four UEFA Europa League goals, has recently narrowed his position in the team. Recently, he has not been able to establish himself as a solid starting player, such as being absent even though he was on the replacement list or being deployed only at the end of the second half. The last game he scored was in mid-December last year.
As of the last five seasons, Genk is ranked 79th and Besiktashi 114th in the UEFA club rankings. In the UEFA league rankings, the Belgian league is 8th and the Turkiye league is 9th. Besiktasi is fifth in the Turkiye Schiffer League this season.
