Foot Mercato said 'PSG received a considerable offer for South Korea's attacking midfielder Lee Kang-in. PSG, which is making a transfer fee to replace Kylian Mbappe, who left for Real Madrid, has received a huge offer for Lee Kang-in. The name has not yet been released, but an EPL club has offered Lee Kang-in 70 million euros (about 105.6 billion won)," the report said.
Since then, the SNS account 'McFay Media', which claims to convey Newcastle's internal sources, has made an official inquiry to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) about Lee Kang-in, a 23-year-old striker, over the past 24 hours. Newcastle's new director, Paul Mitchell, claimed that Lee Kang-in was the target of his dream in the transfer market.
There have been no follow-up reports from famous media outlets or reporters affiliated with them who have secured public confidence.
Magpie Media is more of a fan account with less than 5000 followers.

Local fans cannot be unaware of this. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that the British media is so enthusiastic that it even looks at the reactions of fans. Newcastle has already watched Lee Kang-in since early 2023 before Lee Kang-in moved to PSG. It also seems to have made headlines last season because they faced each other directly in the Champions League.
