The CIES (International Football Research Institute) under FIFA on its official channel on Tuesday (local time) revealed the 10 players with the highest market value among players who play in the K-League in Korea and the J-League in Japan. It evaluated the market value of players around the world based on its own statistical model based on more than 6,000 transfer cases.
Song Min-gyu was the player with the highest market value in the K-League. He ranked second after Mao Hosoya (Kashiwa), who was the No. 1 player in the Korea-Japan league with 6 million euros. The value was 4.9 million euros in the K-League. This amount is not common in the K-League. 사설 토토사이트
Song Min-gyu, who has played in Pohang from 2018 to 2021 and Jeonbuk from 2021 to the present and scored 32 goals and 18 assists in 141 K-League games, is actually attracting attention from European clubs including Germany. This means that the market value calculated by CIES is 4.9 million euros, which does not necessarily mean that a transfer fee of this amount will be set.
The third and fourth runners were speed racer Um Won-sang (Ulsan) and striker Gabriel (Gangwon). They were valued at 3.6 million euros and 3.3 million euros, respectively. The K-League, following Song Min-gyu and Um Won-sang, ranked 10th overall with Pohang ace Ko Young-joon at 2.8 million euros.
Offensive resources such as winger (Song Min-gyu Um Won-sang), striker (Gabriel), and offensive midfielder (Ko Young-jun) were well-received. Based on the transfer fee site “Transfermarkt,” Jeonbuk midfielder Nana Boateng had the highest market value of 2 million euros (about 2.8 billion won) in the K League. Ulsan midfielder Boyanich (about 2.1 billion won) followed, while national fullback Seol Young-woo (Ulsan, about 2 billion won) was the third overall and highest market value among K-League native players.
