Club Brugge close to record transfer for Lee Han-Beom Club Brugge is on the verge of a record transfer for Lee Han-Beom. The South Korean defender could join for around €7 million from FC Midtjylland, making him the most expensive defender in club history. ## What happened? FC Midtjylland rejected an initial bid of €5-6 million, but negotiations are ongoing. Lee Han-Beom, who does not want to extend his expiring contract, is a key target for Club Brugge. The 24-year-old defender became a regular at Midtjylland with 66 appearances, three goals, and eight assists. ## Why is this important for Club Brugge? With Joel Ordonez potentially leaving, Club Brugge is looking for a new defender. Lee Han-Beom, at 1m88 and with experience in the Danish league, fits the profile perfectly. He also played all group matches for South Korea at the 2026 World Cup. ## What comes next? Negotiations between Club Brugge and FC Midtjylland are still underway. If the transfer goes through, Lee Han-Beom would be a key addition to the defense. Club Brugge finished last season second in the Jupiler Pro League with 63 points, three behind leaders Union St. Gilloise.
