It is possible that Hyeok-kyu Kwon will leave Karlsruher SC after only half a year, as both the club and the player are open to a departure. The 25-year-old central midfielder has received concrete interest from Cerezo Osaka, Jagiellonia Bialystok, and Los Angeles FC. Kwon joined the German second-division club as recently as February from FC Nantes on a free transfer and has made only eight competitive appearances since. The midfielder has two caps for South Korea, and Transfermarkt lists his current market value at €1.00m.
