Former Manchester United ace Jesse Lingard is close to ending his 8-month deadlock as a free agent.
Lingard has been a free agent since he left Nottingham Forest. He has had trials with West Ham and Steven Gerrard's Al-Etiffaq in Saudi Arabia but could not nail down a new contract.
According to reports, the English attacker sacked his agents at the heights of his frustration and even made personal efforts to join Barcelona in Spain by offering himself to the club, as per Spanish outlets.
Lingard's enduring nightmare as a free agent is set to end soon.
According to a report from the Sun, about 26 clubs are lining up offers for Jesse Lingard with the former Man United ace close to brokering a deal with one - Seoul, a South Korean club.
Seoul is said to be Lingard's most possible next stop in his career. A two-year contract is reportedly on the table, including an extension option till 2027.
Other report claims the veteran midfielder has already reached an agreement with the club and is eager to cross borders to taste the turf of the game in Asia.
Lingard has only one obstacle to his move to South Korea - the imminent distance and separation from his family, who are based in England. Nevertheless, it is believed he will be ready to weather the limitation and seal a move to the club, having waited patiently for a return to footballing action.
A move to South Korea will also see the Europa League winner call an end to top-level football in Europe. However, there is still a lifeline for him to stay put in Europe.
As per reports, Serie A giants Lazio have reportedly met with his new agent to broker a deal with the player but a move to the Serie A outfit is still considered unlikely.
Lingard emerged into the spotlights while at United having made 232 appearances for the club, scoring 32 goals with 21 assists, and winning the FA Cup, EFL Cup, Community Shield, and the Europa League.
