Hyun-Seok Hong

According to available data, the player's most recent market value was reported at €2.5 million in June 2026. This is a decrease from a reported market value of €3.5 million in July 2025. In August 2024, FSV Mainz 05 completed his transfer from KAA Gent for a reported fee of €4.0 million. Prior to that, KAA Gent acquired him from LASK for a reported €1.5 million in August 2022. A loan fee of €400,000 was also reported for his move from Mainz to FC Nantes in July 2025.

Our valuation for Hyeon-seok Hong is primarily driven by his declining market value and FSV Mainz 05's clear intention to sell. Despite being purchased for €4.0 million in 2024, his subsequent performance has not met expectations, leading to a current Transfermarkt valuation of €2.5 million. Interest from multiple clubs in France and Turkey suggests a market exists, but they will likely be bidding for a player seen as a reclamation project, keeping the price well below the original investment.
