Jesse Lingard (33), who was revived in K League 1, is increasingly likely to try again on the European stage. Lingard's next destination, who left FC Seoul and became a free agent (FA), is taking shape.

British media 'Sportsbible' said on the 6th (Korea time), "Lingard is in contact for a quick return to European soccer," adding, "The prestigious Feyenoord of the Netherlands contacted Lingard to recruit him. It is one of the multiple clubs who want to recruit Lingard," he reported.

According to the media, Lingard is likely to reunite with Robin van Persie, a former teammate of Manchester United. "Currently, coach Van Persie is under pressure from the competition between PSV Eindhoven and Dutch Eredivisie," Sports Bible said. Recently, his son, Shaquille Van Persie, has left due to a knee injury, so he explained, "We urgently need to reinforce the offense."

In particular, Lingard is expected to share a team with Hwang In-beom, a key midfielder of the Korean national team, when he moves to Feyenoord.

After its revival in Korea, it attracted attention from all over Europe. The Netherlands is not the only place that wants Lingard. "In addition to Feyenoord, West Ham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers (England) and Genoa (Italy) are known to have contacted Lingard," Sports Bible said.

Even 'Daily Mail' added weight to rumors of a return to Europe, saying, "Lingard's next team will be decided within this week."

Previously, Lingard was strongly connected to the Italian stage until last month. According to the media, Lingard is undergoing last-minute coordination with Serie A clubs.

But interest is alarming across Europe. Lingard seems to be in trouble recently with a large number of English Premier League (EPL) and Eredivisie clubs joining.

Lingard surprised the world's soccer community by wearing a K-League FC Seoul uniform in February 2024. In the early days of joining the team, he was criticized by head coach Kim Ki-dong, saying, "A clumsy player is not a soccer player," but he soon proved his value with his skills and leadership. Lingard played in 67 games in Seoul and scored 19 goals as a key ace, and even though he was a foreign player, he led the team by wearing the captain's armband.

Lingard, who accompanied Seoul after the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) match against Melbourne City on December 10 last year, is currently in physical condition by conducting a personal training program. At the time, Lingard said on his personal social networking service (SNS), "My time in Korea was incredible and my passion was the best. It was an honor to represent Seoul," he said, leaving a heartfelt goodbye to his Korean fans.
