Will Red Bull also take over the K-League club.
While the move of the Austria-based global energy drink Red Bull is drawing attention, claims that a club named Red Bull can also appear in the K-League are drawing attention.
Recently, Red Bull is a Japanese J3 team that has acquired Omiya Ardiza based in Saitama, drawing attention. This time, it is the first time in Asia to buy 100 percent of the J-League club after Austria, Germany, the U.S., and Brazil.
In such a situation, there was even a claim to take over the Korean club.
Kazu Kakiuchi, a veteran Japanese sports journalist who works in Spokini, made the claim on his X (formerly Twitter) on the 12th.
“Red Bull seems to be looking for a club that can be acquired in Korea as well,” he said.
This is a short but remarkable argument that could shock K-League fans. This means that K-League clubs are included in Red Bull’s ambition to exert a great influence through massive investment in soccer teams despite criticism that it destroys the purity of soccer.
Red Bull acquired its own club Salzburg when it was unknown and later made it Austria’s best club. Red Bull Salzburg has enough skills to represent Europe in May next year and participate in the 2024 FIFA Club World Cup.
In Germany, the former East German club was taken over by Leipzig, and changed to RB Leipzig as it is now. Leipzig are under pressure from both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, but have developed into one of Germany’s leading clubs by participating in the UEFA Champions League every season. In July last year, the team swept Munich 3-0 in an away match of the German Super Cup, drawing keen attention from the public.
Outside of Europe, it operates the Red Bulls in New York, the world’s top city, and the Red Bull Bragantino in Brazil, the country of soccer. 먹튀검증
And through an M&A contract with Omiya, the team will launch RB Omiya from next year. In the meantime, the team is targeting the K-League as well. Red Bull recently announced the signing of former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp at an annual salary of 17.5 billion won (approx.
If Red Bull sets foot in the K-League, Klopp will also come to Korea and watch the K-League in person.
If the Omiya case is applied, it is highly likely that Red Bull will target teams in the Seoul metropolitan area in the K-League as well. As a well-known Japanese reporter said, we wonder whether Red Bull will take over Korean teams and bring about a stir in the K-League.
