Kim Min-jae has surpassed South Korea to become the most expensive player in Asia.
Soccer statistics site Transfer Markt updated the ransom list for Italian Serie A players on Friday (Nov. 15). Kim Min-jae’s price has risen again. 메이저놀이터
About a year ago, when Kim was at Fenerbahçe, his price tag was only 14 million euros (about 19.8 billion won). So when Napoli targeted Kim as a replacement for Kalidou Koulibaly, there were many doubters.
It only took a month for Napoli to prove their choice wrong. Kim began to make a name for himself around the world as he continued to perform in a way that didn’t disappoint Kalidou Koulibaly. It wasn’t a one-off performance, either: despite a grueling schedule, Kim played impeccable defense as Napoli surged to the top of the league.
As a result, Napoli won their first Serie A title in 33 years. In a historic moment, Kim was named both the Serie A team of the year and the league’s best defender for his performance in a single season. No wonder his salary skyrocketed.
From July 2022 to June 2023, Kim Min-jae’s price tag rose by a whopping 46 million euros ($65.2 billion), and has now soared to 60 million euros ($85 billion). This is the fourth highest price for a player born in 1996 and the eighth highest for any center back in the world. Kim Min-jae joins Son Heung-min as the most expensive players in Korea and Asia.
On February 20, TransferMarkt updated its ransom list for Premier League (EPL) players. In this update, Son Heung-min’s price dropped by 10 million euros (about 14.2 billion won) to 50 million euros (about 70.9 billion won). It’s unfortunate, but it’s a sign of the times. Age is also a big factor when measuring a player’s value. The older the player, the lower his market value.
Last season, Son’s hernia problem and orbital fracture, coupled with tactical issues, meant that he didn’t perform as well as he did in 2021-22. As Son’s price dropped, Kim Min-jae became the No. 1 player in Korea and Asia. It’s a very positive sign that Kim has taken over from Son Heung-min’s era. 오래된토토사이트
The third through sixth spots on the Asian list are all Japanese players. Kaoru Mitoma, Daichi Kamada, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Takefusa Kubo. The seventh spot went to Lee Kang-in. Lee has a bright future ahead of him, so it’s not unreasonable to expect a higher ranking.
