Lee Kang-in (23, Paris Saint-Germain), who joined the "Dream Club", has seen a sharp drop in market value of his former colleague Kylian Mbappe (26, Real Madrid).
Mbappe was evaluated at 160 million euros (about 246 billion won) in the market value of Spanish Primera Liga players newly updated by the transfer fee site 'Transfer Market' on the 27th (local time).
It is the fourth highest ransom in La Liga and the fifth highest in the world, but it is a big difference from the previously disclosed market value.
Mbappe, a goalscorer from France, was evaluated at a market value of 180 million euros (about 277 billion won) in June when he was a member of Paris Saint-Germain. In just half a year, 11% and 20 million euros (about 30.7 billion won) fell.
Mbappe was valued at 200 million euros in 2019 when he showed his peak performance, including winning the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Mbappe left PSG last summer and joined Real, which he had dreamed of since childhood, on a free contract, but he was criticized for his below-expectations performance, scoring 14 goals in 24 games, including the 2024-2025 Cup.
Mbappe's team Real experienced a drop in market value for many of its players. Striker Rodrigo (100 million euros), midfielder Luca Modric, Aurelien Chouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, winger Brahim Díaz, defender Eder Militão, Antonio Rudiger, Ferland Mendy, David Alaba and Dani Carvajal have fallen in ransom.
Winger Vinicius Junior (200 million euros, about 307 billion won), midfielder Jude Bellingham (180 million euros), and midfielder Federico Valverde (130 million euros, about 200 billion won) were maintained. Shinsung center back Raul Asensio (7.5 million euros, about 11.5 billion won) is the only real player whose ransom has risen.
Vinicius remained the La Liga ransom top and the world's largest ransom player. It is tied with Elling Holan (Man City).
