The market value of the five European teams, the pillar of Korean soccer, fell together.
On the 5th, the transfer fee website 'Transfermarkt' updated the market value of German Bundesliga players. Kim Min-jae, who led Bayern Munich to the Bundesliga championship in the 2024-2025 season, recorded 40 million euros (about 62 billion won), down 5 million euros (about 7.7 billion won) from the previous market value.
This is the lowest in two years and seven months since November 2022, when it was valued at 35 million euros in Naples. Kim Min-jae gradually fell from 60 million euros (about 93 billion won) in June 2023 to 55 million euros (about 85 billion won) in March 2024 and 45 million euros (about 69 billion won) in May 2024.
Ranked eighth in the pay list among the Munich players. No. 1 is Jamal Musiala, who maintained 140 million euros (about 217 billion won). Kim Min-jae maintained his No. 1 position among Korean national soccer team players.

Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) and Son Heung-min (Tottenham) also fell in ransom. Lee Kang-in, who achieved the first Korean treble by winning the European Champions League, recorded 25 million euros (about 38 billion won), down 5 million euros from 30 million euros (about 46 billion won).
Son Heung-min, who won the much-awaited first trophy by winning the Europa League, fell 10 million euros (about 15 billion won) from 30 million euros to 20 million euros (about 31 billion won). It is the first time that Son Heung-min has recorded a market value of less than 20 million euros since joining Tottenham in 2015.
In the case of Lee Kang-in, he contributed to PSG's first treble, but his narrowed position in the second half of last season seems to have been reflected in the market value. In the aftermath of the injury, Son Heung-min scored only seven goals in the Premier League, the fewest in nine years since the 2015-2016 season.
The 'The Korean Guy' Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) was also evaluated at 12 million euros (about 18 billion won), down 5 million euros from 17 million euros (about 26 billion won). Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord) who suffered a calf injury in the second half of the year fell 2 million euros (about 3.1 billion won) from 12 million euros to 10 million euros.
The market value of the five European teams has fallen by a total of 27 million euros (about 41 billion won). The national soccer team, centered on them, made it to the World Cup finals for 11 consecutive times, but it can be seen that they had a disappointing season overall.
Of the top 10 European players in Korea, only Bae Joon-ho (Stoke City) has risen in ransom. Bae Joon-ho, who was selected for the national team ahead of the match against Kuwait, doubled his ransom from 1.5 million euros (about 2.3 billion won) to 3 million euros (about 4.6 billion won).
