Belgian powerhouse Club Brugge is reportedly intensifying efforts to sign South Korean defender Lee Han-beom from Danish club FC Midtjylland. The 22-year-old defender has emerged as a primary transfer target for the Belgian Pro League club, according to reports from European football transfer market insider Sasha Tavolieri.

Tavolieri stated on his personal account that Club Brugge is actively pursuing Lee Han-beom, with negotiations already in progress between the Danish club and the Belgian side. The South Korean defender is considered a key acquisition for Club Brugge as they look to strengthen their squad for upcoming competitions.

Lee Han-beom himself has reportedly signaled openness to a potential move, suggesting that a transfer is a realistic possibility. This indication from the player could accelerate the negotiations between the two clubs.
