When it comes to the first brother in Asian football, many fans will definitely think of South Korean king Son Xingmin, from the perspective of strength, Son Xingmin sits on the throne of Asia's No. 1, which is definitely well-deserved, after all, Asian players who can be captains in European giants are unique in the entire history of football. But if you sort it in terms of value, Sun Xingmin, who has passed the age of establishment, will not have any advantage!
Not long ago, the internationally authoritative value statistics website "German Transfer Market" updated the latest value of the player, because the age has risen by another year, so Son Xingmin's value has further declined, from the previous 60 million euros, to 50 million euros. As Sun Qiuwang's value fell again, the title of the most expensive player in Asian football also changed hands. According to the statistics of the media, there are currently two players in Asian football who are both worth 60 million euros, and they are also tied for the first place. One of them is Son Heung-min's compatriot Kim Min-jae, and the other is Japan's 22-year-old Hisashi Hisa.
When it comes to the name of Jiu Kangying, fans who follow La Liga will not be unfamiliar. As early as 2011, at the age of 10, Hisashi went to Spain and joined the famous La Masia academy and became a member of the Barcelona echelon. Because of his goals in the youth game and his performance was quite like Messi back then, Hisashi was also nicknamed "Japanese Messi" by many fans. But the good times did not last long, because of transfer irregularities, Hisashi could not continue to stay in Barcelona for further study, he had to return to Japan, and after becoming an adult, he returned to Spain and joined Real Madrid, another giant in La Liga.
Unfortunately, at the talent-rich Real Madrid, Hisashi was not reused, and he spent the next few years on loan. In order to put an end to this precarious life, he officially submitted a transfer application to Real Madrid last summer, and Real Sociedad eventually brought in the Japan international for 6.5 million euros. It was here that Hisashi finally showed his talent, scoring nine goals and six assists in his first season for Real Sociedad, helping his team to a top-four finish and a ticket to the Champions League. Just over halfway through the season, Hisashi has already contributed six goals and four assists, and if nothing else, his stats are expected to set a new career high after the 23-24 season!
As Jiu Kangying's performance got better and better, his value began to rise sharply, and in just over one year, his value has soared from 9 million euros at the beginning of joining Real Sociedad to 60 million euros, more than 6 times. In this update, his value has also soared by 10 million euros, ranking first among all Asian players. At present, the most valuable player in Chinese football is striker Wu Lei, but his value is only 1.5 million euros, that is to say, the value of Jiu Yiying alone is enough to buy 40 Wu Lei! From this alone, we can see the huge gap between Chinese and Japanese football!
And Real Sociedad is only the starting point of Hisashi Ying's career, and it is only a matter of time before he lands at a European giant. Perhaps in the near future, we will be able to witness the first Asian player worth more than 100 million!
