There is a club that is naturally mentioned as Oh Hyun-kyu (25) of the national team, who moved to Besiktashi JK in Turkiye professional football, continues his active performance every day. It is Stuttgart, a German professional football Bundesliga club that was close to recruiting Oh Hyun-kyu last summer but gave up recruiting for absurd reasons.

Oh Hyun-kyu, who played for KRC Genk in Belgium, was on the verge of "entering the big leagues" in September last year at the end of the summer transfer market. Stuttgart spent as much as 28 million euros (about 47.9 billion won) to recruit Oh Hyun-kyu, and Oh Hyun-kyu flew to Germany for medical tests as well as agreements between clubs. Another European big league striker seemed to be born.

However, negotiations failed at the end of the transfer. Stuttgart's club took issue with Oh Hyun-kyu's knee injury history in high school during the medical test. According to local reports at the time, Stuttgart wanted to renegotiate the transfer fee with Genk, which the Genk club interpreted as an intention to lower the transfer fee already agreed between the clubs and refused. In the end, the door to the German Bundesliga transfer market was closed, and Oh Hyun-kyu's transfer to Stuttgart, which even completed medical tests, became "nothing."

In the end, Oh remained in Genk and played the season. After being called up for the national team game, he scored a goal and pointed his knee with his hand as if looking at it, and even celebrated that there was no problem. Oh Hyun-kyu said at the time, "I've never had a pain in my knee since I was in high school, or I've never rested because of my knee," adding, "I'll prove it again by being strong with courage."

Another opportunity came. Although it is not a big league, it recently moved to Besiktashi and took on a new challenge. Since then, Oh Hyun-kyu has scored his debut goal in an overhead kick since his debut, and has scored three consecutive goals including a cannonball-like mid-range shot. As soon as he transferred, he showed a truly brilliant presence and immediately emerged as a key striker in the team.

Since Oh Hyun-kyu's talent and skills were given up a long time ago due to his "knee injury history," Stuttgart's choice at the time was also left as a mockery. French media Foot Mercato said on the 3rd (Korea time), "Oh Hyun-kyu is making a sensation two weeks after his transfer to Besiktashi," adding, "In fact, Oh Hyun-kyu's story was scheduled to take place in the German Bundesliga. However, the contract seemed to have been concluded, but the transfer was canceled during the medical test."

"From a sports point of view, a transfer to Besiktashi became a smart choice for Oh Hyun-kyu. He was sensational from his debut. He scored an overhead kick goal, captivating fans at once or scoring a strong mid-range goal of 122km/h in three consecutive games, he said. "The Stuttgart club, which sees Oh Hyun-kyu's subsequent performance, will regret it deeply by now."
