South Korean national team defender Lee Han-beom (24) has left Danish club Midtjylland to join Belgian First Division side Club Brugge.

Brugge announced the signing of Lee Han-beom via its official channels on the 3rd (Korean time). The contract runs for three years until 2029, and he will wear jersey number 3.

According to European football transfer market expert Ben Jacobs, the transfer fee amounts to a base of 9 million euros (approximately 14.8 billion won) plus bonus options totaling 1.5 million euros (approximately 2.5 billion won). A sell-on clause requiring payment of 15% of any future transfer fee to Midtjylland was also included.

Lee Han-beom made his professional debut with FC Seoul in the K League 1 in 2021 before moving to Midtjylland in 2023 to begin his European career. Although he struggled to secure a starting position during his first two seasons abroad, he played 50 official matches (3,850 minutes) last season, establishing himself as a key defensive pillar for the team.

Based on his performances with his club, Lee was selected for the final squad of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America. He started all three group stage matches, playing the full 90 minutes each time and demonstrating his defensive capabilities.

His new club, Brugge, is a dominant force in the Belgian Pro League with a record 20 league titles. Having won last season's title, Brugge has already secured qualification for this season's UEFA Champions League (UCL) group stage.
