Transfer market expert Fabricio Romano said on the 13th (Korea Standard Time) with “HERE WE GO” shouting when the transfer is in the process of becoming a fait accompli, “Munich will bring Hiroki Ito’s buyout amount of 30 million euros (about 44.5 billion won). He will sign a five-year contract and has a medical test scheduled for next week.”
Earlier, Romano said, “Munich plans to sign Ito by invoking a buyout. Ito has also decided to join Munich and will summarize the final contract details soon. The buyout amount is 30 million euros. Ito was on the top recruitment list for Munich along with Jonathan Tah and Joao Palinha,” but “HERE WE GO” was released almost immediately.
Ito began his professional career at Jubilo Iwata.
He started his career in Europe at the 메이저놀이터 in 2021 when he joined Stuttgart on loan. With impressive performances, he made a complete transfer and helped his team stay in the 2022-23 season. Last season, he played with Jung Woo-young to contribute to Stuttgart’s sensation. Stuttgart will play in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) by ranking second in the German Bundesliga, beating Munich.
It was attractive to be able to take responsibility for center back and left back. Ito’s low buyout amount was attractive to Munich. Ito’s advantage was to be able to take responsibility for left back as well as center back. Munich needed a left back at a time when the renewal of contract with Alfonso Davis was slow, and although it was linked to Theo Hernandez and others, there was no progress. When Ito comes, he can be less worried.
Ito’s choice was Munich
Al Ahli and Tottenham Hotspur also aimed for Ito, which was chosen by 안전놀이터 Munich. Munich’s first recruitment under Vincent Kompany was expected to be sold at Fulham, but it has been slowing down due to differences in transfer fees. Ito will come to the Allianz Arena sooner.
“Barbarian Football” in Germany believes Ito will be mainly used as a left-back, not a center-back. If he signs a contract with Davis and Rafael Guerreiro can play, he can also use it as a center-back, so he can compete with Kim Min-jae. Ito will expand the scope of Munich’s defense by coexisting or competing with Kim Min-jae.
