Magdeburg Sporting Director: Asian Players Are Disciplined and Technically Skilled, We Will Consider Them More
1. FC Magdeburg's sporting director Peer Jaekel (44) has been active in the transfer market, with the club already signing nine new players. The squad now blends experienced professionals, young talents, and promising prospects. Two South Korean teenagers—Doyoung Yoon (19) and Chunghyun Lee (18)—are drawing attention from fans. Jaekel explained the club's targeted recruitment in Asia, citing players' solid technical training, strong discipline, and willingness to improve. He noted years of scouting experience have built a network in Asia, but emphasized the club is not fixated on any specific market. The young Korean players are expected to adapt quickly to Magdeburg's playing style, though they were rested for a recent friendly match. Jaekel stated there are currently no plans to sign more Asian players, as the focus is on integrating the current squad.
