Ki Sung-yueng Looks to Play in Spain After K-League Plans Fall Through

Footballer Ki Sung-yueng is likely to join a Spanish club after his bid to return to the K-League collapsed.

Ki's agency said on Thursday, "Ki is leaving for Spain on Friday to conclude negotiations with a La Liga team and undergo a medical check-up."

Ki negotiated with some K-League clubs after leaving Newcastle United in the English Premier League early this month, but the talks were thwarted by contractual difficulties.
