It has become a hot topic that the market value of Kaishu Sano, a volunteer player for the Japanese national team, has reached approximately 7.4 billion yen, making him the “top Asian player”, surpassing other players such as Son Heung-min and other players from the Middle East and South Korea. This is the highest amount ever paid for a Japanese player, surpassing even Takefusa Kubo and Kaoru Mitoma. This evaluation is extremely unusual for a volunteer. He joined Mainz just two years ago and was worth 2.5 million euros (approximately 400 million yen) at the time. In the two years since then, it has skyrocketed by about 16 times, much like Kioxia stock. The biggest secret is his ability to run so much without getting injured, and he has played in all 34 league games for two years in a row, and has played in 48 games this season, including cup games. He has two goals and five assists, and has been compared to Kante. Mainz’s sports director is demanding more than 50 million euros (approximately 9.3 billion yen), and the player acquired for 400 million yen will be in the 9.3 billion yen class. We have summarized in a slow explanation how the market value exceeds Kusanov, who was acquired by Manchester City for about 6.5 billion yen, Yuito Suzuki, who is active with Freiburg with 9 goals and 7 assists, and the change in the Japanese player’s market value, which has changed from the peak of Shinji Kagawa (about 2.6 billion) to the ceiling. *This video is a slow audio commentary (Reimu/Marisa).
