Jesse Lingard's move to South Korean club FC Seoul, will reportedly see him earn a staggering amount of money.
The record-breaking salary has been revealed, with the former West Ham United man ready to return to the game, having been unemployed after his contract with Nottingham Forest came to an end in June 2023.
Jesse Lingard initially trained with West Ham United, where he had previously enjoyed a loan spell, during his time at Manchester United.
In the dying embers of 2023, Lingard traveled to Saudi Arabia to join up with Al Ettifaq, however, he didn't pen a deal with the club, but trained with the Saudi Pro League side.
He couldn't sign a deal with the Saudi Arabian side, who are managed by Liverpool great, Steven Gerrard, due to a limit on foreign players in the Saudi League.
Jesse Lingard was also linked with a move to Everton and Barcelona, however, both deals didn't see the light of day.
The Englishman has finally sealed a move to the K-League, with fans delighted to see the former Premier League star moving to South Korea.
The 31-year-old was mobbed by the fans as he got into the Asian country to finalize his move to FC Seoul.
He was handed a flute by the fans, who were present to welcome his arrival.
Anyway, details concerning Jesse Lingard's astonishing move to FC Seoul have been revealed, with the attacker set to receive massive bucks.
Lingard's deal with the South Korean club reportedly runs until 2026, having signed a two-year deal with the team on February 8, 2024.
Jesse Lingard's deal will see him become the highest-paid player in the K-League if the figures reported are true.
According to Chosun Ilbo, via Korea JoongAng Daily, the former Derby County man will earn £17,500 per week, which is about £910,000 per annum.
This figure is a significant drop from the £100,000 he earned at Manchester United, but for the top-flight division in Korea, it is indeed a huge wage.
Twenty-six teams were said to be interested in signing Lingard, including Italian side SSC Lazio but he chose to join a South Korean side.
FC Seoul have won the K-League title 5 times and they have also reached the Asian Champions League final on two occasions.
Lingard is expected to team up in midfield with Ki Sung-Yeung, a former Premier League star, who represented Newcastle United, Sunderland, and Swansea City.
Additionally, the 35-year-old also played for Spanish side Mallorca and Scottish giants Celtic.
All things being equal, Jesse Lingard will make his debut for FC Seoul on Saturday, March 2, 2024, in their opening league game against Gwangju FC.
The 31-year-old will be hoping that he can flourish in the K-League and produce magnificent performances that would wow the fans.
