There's less than a day left. Kim Hye-sung's destination is expected to be decided as early as today.

Kiwoom Heroes Kim Hye-sung is currently challenging the Major League as a posting. The deadline for the 30-day posting contract is almost over, and the deadline ends at 7 a.m. on the 4th in Korean time.

Now there is less than a day left in the bay. In fact, it is not easy to meet the deadline in order for the contract to be completed. The signing can be completed ahead of the deadline only when more specific negotiations begin than the deadline. Now is the time when a decision really needs to be made.

It is currently muted in the U.S. media. There has been no specific update through the media regarding Kim Hye-sung's contract.

However, according to industry insiders, Kim has been confirmed to have received official offers from several clubs through her agent CAA. However, it is known that the size of the contract presented until recently is not as large as expected.

Now every choice is up to the player. Initially, it was predicted that Kiwoom, the original team, would not send it for too little (contract size), but the Kiwoom team is determined to respect Kim Hye-sung's choice as much as possible as it has allowed posting.

In the end, it depends on what choice Kim Hye-sung makes in consideration of the terms of the contract he has been offered so far. Even if the conditions themselves do not completely satisfy their minds as they have only seen the major league challenge, there is also a way to seek opportunities by facing them in the United States. This is because the ransom can run through the roof depending on the performance.

The final trend of the Major League transfer market is passing slower than expected. Some say that the deadline for the posting negotiations on the 30th is far short of the 45th of Japanese players, with Kim Ha-sung, a senior and close brother of the Heroes, not yet confirmed his destination as an FA.

Kim Hye-sung, who left for the United States at the end of November, quietly returned home on the 23rd of last month to comply with the Military Service Act, and is currently waiting for news of the progress of contract negotiations while conducting personal training in Korea. There was a possibility that Kim Hye-sung could go back to the U.S. if the contract was imminent, but there has been no special movement so far. However, contracts through agents are possible even if the player does not go directly.

If Kim Hye-sung chooses to try again in the Major League after the 2025 season, not this time, he will stay at Kiwoom. After playing for another season as a Kiwoom player, he will look for the next opportunity. If not, the U.S. will be confirmed after leaving compensation according to the size of the contract to Kiwoom.

What about Kim Hye-sung's choice. Kiwoom is also nervously waiting for the final result of Kim Hye-sung's selection.
