V-League Women's Team Arrives in the Era of 800 Million Won, The FA Market Is Overheating

The V-League women's free agent FA market is showing signs of overheating.

The 18 female FA players including Kang So-hwi GS Caltex, Lee So-young Director Jeong, Jeong Ji-yoon Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Lee Ju-ah Heungkuk Life Insurance can freely negotiate with all possibilities open until the 17th, and most of them have been decided in a week. Detailed coordination and final approval are under way.

In the process, FA's ransom has also increased significantly. Currently, the total compensation for women's teams is 2.9 billion won 2.0 million U.S. dollars per player, up 100 million won 2 million dollars from the previous season, and 600 million won 62 million dollars per player can sign a contract for a maximum of 800 million won 464,940 dollars per player. The V-League has set a ceiling of 500 million won, which is equivalent to 25 percent of the salary cap 2 billion won and 300 million won, which is 50 percent of the option cap 600 million won, which is higher than the highest ever recorded by Park Jeong-ah, who transferred to Pepper Savings Bank from Korea Expressway Corporation last season.

For this reason, during the 2023-2024 season, volleyball circles often said, "You have to make a full bet 800 million won unconditionally to bring in or stay a decent FA prospect," and the market is flowing as expected.

As soon as the off-season begins, all teams are scrambling to make a fresh start. The move is aimed at enhancing their capabilities by bringing in big-time FA players. Many teams cite "recruitment of A-level FA + foreign player" as a condition for their stellar performance.

This year, outside heater Jung Ji-yoon, who led Hyundai Engineering & Construction to the integrated victory, national striker Kang So-hwi, who accompanied GS Caltex from the 2015-2016 season, veteran Lee So-young, who helped Jeong Kwan-jang advance to Spring Volleyball, and Lee Ju-ah, a proven middle blocker of Heungkuk Life Insurance, received a lot of love calls. All of them belong to FA Group A more than 100 million won per year, and the club that recruits the corresponding players must compensate the original team with 200% of the annual salary for the season just before  and one of the six protected players set by the club, or pay 300% of the annual salary for the season just before .

The more teams that are interested, the higher the ransom is inevitable. The current team is also making all-out efforts to stay in the FA, but it is up to the players to decide. "One club man" is rare in the V-League these days. While most of them are likely to find a nest of birds, rumors are spreading that the A-League will recruit two members from the FA A group at once. A club official's complaint that "it is no longer an environment to sincerely appeal to players" is not unnecessary.  토토사이트
