It was reported on 22 July that Vissel Kobe and Korea Republic international goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu could be making a return to the K.League.



Several sources have revealed that Kim has received multiple offers, including one from his former club Ulsan Hyundai. Kobe are understood to want to keep the 28-year-old, but with K.League’s summer transfer deadline being on 26 July, a decision will need to arrive fast.

Kim had been a fixture between the post at Kobe since he joined in 2016, but lost his place towards the end of last season. He has played just 12 games so far this season due to the five-foreigner limit. He was excluded from the Yokohama F.Marinos defeat on 20 July, which manager Thorsten Fink said was due to an injury.

In addition, Kobe are looking to secure Lebanon international Joan Oumari, who would become their eighth foreign signing. The defender, who played a part in Tosu’s survival last season, has been out of contract since leaving UAE side Al Nasr in end June.
