Nantes make offer for South Korea international Hyun-seok Hong | OneFootball

FC Nantes have made an offer for South Korean international Hyun-seok Hong (26), according to Sky Sports Germany.

The attacking midfielder currently plays for Mainz 05. Hong joined Mainz in August 2024 and has made 24 appearances for the Bundesliga club. Hong’s current contract expires in 2028, having joined Mainz for a €4m fee. The report does not indicate the value of Nantes’ initial offer.

Hong began his career in Germany at Unterhaching before moving to Austria with LASK. He then spent two years at Gent before earning a move to the German top flight. He has, however, struggled for game time since moving to Mainz, which has alerted potential suitors such as Nantes.

Hyun-seok Hong has 14 senior caps for South Korea. He was also a member of the U23 South Korean squad that won gold at the Asian games – a victory that earned him exemption from mandatory military service.
