South Korean international Baek Seung-ho (26, Jeonbuk Hyundai) is reportedly being courted by 2021-22 UEFA Europa League runners-up Rangers (Scotland).

“Jeonbuk midfielder Baek Seung-ho could sign for Rangers,” according to SPFL (Scottish Professional Football League) Transfer on August 9 (Korea time). Scotland are ranked ninth in the 2023-24 European League and Rangers are 29th in the European Club Rankings.

Paik scored the winning goal against Brazil in the round of 16 at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar (1-4). In the 2023 K League 1, he was tied for sixth in match MVP honors and was named Player of the Month in May.

However, it has been confirmed that he will fulfill his military service as a men’s soccer player for the 2nd Gyeonggi Division of the Armed Forces Athletic Corps (Commerce) from December 4, 2023 to June 3, 2025.

In order for Baek to join Rangers, he must meet the criteria for transferring to the athletic staff, which is known as a “special case of military service,” after winning a gold medal at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.

In addition to his goals at the World Cup in Qatar, Baek has demonstrated his leadership and individual prowess on the international stage, including captaining the Egypt Under-23 team in a November 2020 trial and scoring twice at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

The men’s soccer schedule for the Hangzhou Asian Games begins with the group stage on September 19. Baek Seung-ho’s performance will be crucial not only for the national team’s performance but also for his own personal return to Europe.바카라사이트
