Bayern Munich close to signing South Korean starlet for €0.7 million

Reports from South Korea suggest that Bayern Munich are close to winning the race of signing starlet Jung Woo-Yeong from Incheon United.

According to Naver Sports, the two clubs have agreed on a 700,000 euro deal and the Bundesliga side promise a salary of 200,000 euros for Jung.

However, the South Korean winger will not be making the move to Bavaria until January due to FIFA regulations regarding the transfer of players under the age of 18.

Bayern are said to have set their sights on the 17-year-old Incheon United winger for several months. His impressive form in the K-league Junior Group A, where he scored 7 goals in 7 matches, saw him offered trials with the Bundesliga champions.
