Hwang In-beom in action against Manchester City.
The possibility of Korean national soccer team midfielder Hwang In-beom going to the big leagues in Europe is ripe.
Hwang In-beom, who left Olympiacos Greece for FK Tsurvena Zvezda Serbia ahead of this season, played as the main player of the team throughout the season, greatly contributing to the early confirmation of the regular league title.
At the time of the transfer, there was also a negative view of moving from Europe to the Serbian league, but Hwang In-beom raised his value with his performance matching the club's highest transfer fee 5.5 million euros.
Already, there are reports that mid-ranking teams in the English Premier League EPL, including Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Spain's Real Betis are interested in Hwang In-beom.
Some teams reportedly even sent scouts to watch Hwang's game.
Amid rumors of a transfer to a big club, Hwang In-beom once again showed his presence by scoring against Radnitsky in the 35th round home game of the Serbian professional football SuperLiga on the 13th.
Hwang In-beom, who started as a central midfielder, greatly contributed to the 3-2 victory by tasting a goal in the 35th minute of the first half when his team was leading 2-1.

In particular, one goal and one assist recorded in the UCL is a harvest against Manchester City, a powerhouse that has won three consecutive EPL titles.
Hwang In-beom made his debut goal and one assist in the 2023-24 UCL showdown against Manchester City held in December last year. At that time, he scored two offensive points with his active performance, and even selected the weekly best 11 to promote his name to the European stage. 스포츠토토
As it has proven its competitiveness in various European stages such as Russia and Greece, it is now only a matter of time before entering the big leagues.
The key is the transfer fee. Hwang signed a contract with Zvezda through 2026. As Zvezda also invested the highest transfer fee in the club's history, there is no reason to let him go if he is not offered a reasonable price.
A maximum 7.5 million euros buyout clause approximately 11.1 billion won has been reportedly set for Hwang. As the sum is not too burdensome for mid-tier EPL teams that need reinforcement of their capabilities, there is a possibility that Hwang will transfer to the team.
