Overview
- Media reports in mid-June say Liverpool and Chelsea are monitoring 23-year-old centre-back Lee Han-beom after his strong World Cup showing for South Korea.
- All coverage cites TEAMtalk as the source for the interest, and no club has publicly confirmed a formal offer for Lee at this stage.
- Lee’s deal with FC Midtjylland runs into its final year, a situation that makes a transfer this summer plausible if the club chooses to sell rather than risk losing him on a free next season.
- Reports place multiple Premier League clubs including Leeds, Brighton and Newcastle and several big European sides such as Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Napoli in competition for his signature, which could push his price and bargaining leverage higher.
- A move would mark a step up for Lee from the Danish Superliga to a larger league and would give Midtjylland a familiar revenue opportunity from a player they helped develop.
