He added weight to the front line.
"Jeonbuk Hyundai will recruit Andrea Kompagno (28), the Italian front-line striker. Compagno is undergoing a medical examination after arriving in Korea on Monday, and only the final signature is left," said a soccer official familiar with the K-League transfer market.
Kompanyo is a tall striker who stands 195 centimeters tall and is good at scoring headers by using his height. He also has calm scoring ability in the box.
Compagno made his professional debut with Calcho Catania in the Italian Serie C (third division) in 2014, and is a striker who has mainly gone through lower and marginal leagues, including Pinero, Argentina Armagh, Borgochesia Calcho, Nuoresce Calcho (Italy) and Tra Fiori (San Marino).
Based on his outstanding scoring ability with 37 goals in 41 matches for Cryova (Romania), he joined FCSB, one of Romania's strongest teams, in 2022. He played in 55 matches and scored 20 goals.
Due to his performance in Romania, Compagno was called up to the reserve list of the Italian national team in March 2023, drawing attention. Roberto Mancini, who was at the helm of Italy at the time, announced the preliminary list of the national team to face England and Malta in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying round, and the list included Compagno's name, which became a hot topic in Italy.
Although Compagno did not make the shortlist since then, it was meaningful to him because he was a player who only played in the lower leagues throughout his career.
Last year, he joined Tianjin Jinmanhu of the Chinese Super League (CSL), challenging himself in the Asian stage. He did not need an adjustment. Compagno scored a total of 17 goals and one assist in the last season alone, ranking fourth in score tally. He has proved himself well in the Asian stage.
And Compagno, who broke up with Tianjin after the end of the season, became a free agent (FA) and is now about to join Jeonbuk. 스포츠토토
Jeonbuk, which fell to the K-League promotion playoff (PO) due to its disappointing performance last season, will be able to show a stronger offense by recruiting Compagno.
