Jesse Lingard Receives Multiple Offers From Clubs Worldwide, Yet to Decide on Future
Former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has received a staggering 26 offers from clubs around the world, including surprise interest from FC Seoul in South Korea and Italian giants Lazio. Lingard, who has been a free agent since leaving Nottingham Forest at the end of last season, has plenty of options to consider as he weighs up his future.
Initial reports of Lingard potentially joining Seoul were verified, indicating that the club had offered him a two-year deal to play in South Korea. However, it was emphasized that Lingard has not made a final decision yet due to the numerous offers he is considering from various clubs worldwide.
Among these clubs, Lazio stands out as one of the serious contenders for Lingard’s signature. Sporting the guidance of manager Maurizio Sarri, Lazio is currently competing for a spot in the coveted Champions League. Nevertheless, Lingard needs to evaluate how far he’s willing to venture and potentially move away from his family if he decides to move abroad.
Since leaving Nottingham Forest, Lingard has trained with West Ham and Steven Gerrard‘s Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia. However, no concrete developments have occurred from these training sessions. During his brief stint with Forest, Lingard made 20 appearances and scored two goals.
Ian Ladyman, a staunch supporter of Lingard, expressed his hope that the 31-year-old finds the right club to get his career back on track. Lingard, who has already represented England and played for Manchester United, now faces the decision of picking the best opportunity from his numerous offers.
