Feyenoord and FC Porto have reached an agreement over the transfer of Inbeom Hwang. The 29-year-old South Korea international, whose contract was due to run until the summer of 2028, leaves De Kuip with immediate effect to join the Portuguese champions.
'I cannot express enough how honoured I have felt to wear the Feyenoord shirt,' said Hwang. 'I have played in many places throughout my career, but Rotterdam and De Kuip will always be special to me. I will never forget the way I was embraced from the very first moment. I immediately felt like one of you and, as one of you, I gave everything for Feyenoord. To everyone who lives for this club, whether I had the privilege of getting to know you personally or from the stands, thank you and all the very best. It has been a privilege.'
Hwang joined Feyenoord from Red Star Belgrade on deadline day in the summer of 2024 and made an immediate impact. With his relentless work rate, tremendous stamina and ability to pass with both feet, 'Boomi' quickly became one of Het Legioen's favourites. Shortly after his arrival, the supporters voted him Player of the Month for September, an honour he followed up almost immediately with a superb goal against FC Twente at De Kuip.
Hwang also showed how quickly he had become a key figure in Feyenoord's midfield during the UEFA Champions League matches against Girona FC, SL Benfica, Manchester City and Sparta Prague. As one of the driving forces in the team, the South Korea international regularly led by example, playing an important role in Feyenoord's memorable European campaign.
Hwang was equally determined to make his mark in his second season in Rotterdam. Although injury setbacks limited his appearances, the highly regarded international was still selected for South Korea's World Cup squad. Operating as one of the midfield orchestrators, Hwang was named Player of the Match in the opening fixture against Czechia after scoring a superb goal and providing an equally impressive assist.
Hwang made 54 official appearances for Feyenoord over two seasons, scoring 4 goals and providing 8 assists.
Feyenoord wish Hwang every success in Porto.
