Korean soccer superstar Son Heung-min's

"Son Heung-min is more expensive than the 21 teams in the Asian Cup finals."

Vietnamese media 'Vietnam Express VNE reported on the 6th that 'Korean soccer superstar Son Heung-min's ransom was $54.5 million about 71.7 billion won, which is higher than the value of the 21 national teams participating in the 2024 Asian Cup.'

VNE cited "Transfermarkt," a site specializing in European soccer transfer.

VNE said, "According to TransferMarkt, Son Heung-min is lower than Japan, Korea and Iran. Son's price is similar to that of Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma Brighton. It is lower than Korean counterparts Kim Min-jae Bayern Munich and Japan's Takefusa Real Sociedad. They are currently the most expensive players in Asia."

Japan ranks first with a total of 345.5 million dollars. The second highest ranking is the Korean national team. It ranks second with 210.4 million dollars. The third highest ranking is Iran with 56.2 million dollars.

Individually, Kim Min-jae and Kubo are tied for first place with 65.4 million dollars. Son Heung-min and Mitoma were both ranked third with 54.5 million dollars.

After them, Australia fell to $44.6 million about 58.7 billion won.

Although Kim Min-jae and Kubo are tied for first place, the reason why they put Son Heung-min as the title is presumed to be because of his recognition. Kim Min-jae and Kubo began to make their mark in Europe over the past year or two. On the other hand, Son has continued to play at the top of the list, scoring double-digit goals for eight consecutive seasons in the Premier League. 토토사이트

VNE said, "Son Heung-min was valued at 98.5 million U.S. dollars in 2020, the highest paid by an Asian player. Son is aiming to win a championship with his Korean teammates for the first time in 64 years."

VNE said, "Of the top 20 players in this competition, Japan has 13 and Korea has four. The remaining three are Iranian strikers Mehdi Taremi FC Porto, Sardar Azmoun AS Roma, and Australian defender Harry Sutta Leicester City."

Vietnam is not the last. Hong Kong is the lowest with 6.5 million dollars. Vietnam ranked second with 6.6 million dollars.

VNE said, "Vietnam's national team is worth 52 times less than that of Japan. Vietnamese-Czech goalkeeper Philippe Nguyen is the highest paid in the team at 657,000 U.S. dollars. This is equivalent to 10 percent of the Vietnamese team's ransom." Son Heung-min is paid 83 times more than Nguyen's.
