Seung Woo Lee. That
is the name of the player who could soon become embroiled in the latest episode
of Real Madrid's ongoing dispute with Barcelona, a dispute which has taken a new twist over the
past few days thanks to the Catalans' transfer ban, and its knock-on effect in
the shape of investigations into other clubs, in this case, Real Madrid.
The Korean, who
joined Barcelona in 2011 as the next Leo Messi,
is currently a transfer target for Real Madrid
as part of their new transfer policy. This involves the big-money signing of
young talent, whilst at the same time, striking a blow to Barça's
infrastructure.
Lee has not played in
a competitive game in over a year and he will not be able to until next January
when he celebrates his 18th birthday and is legally allowed to do so. For now,
he features in friendlies and international games with South Korea,
nowhere near enough for a player in his formative years.
Real Madrid recently received
an offer to pull off a signing that several months ago seemed nigh on impossible.
The relationship between the two clubs continues to deteriorate, and looks set
to further worsen should one of La Masia's home-grown players take a one-way
trip to Valdebebas.
