France's Foot01 reported on the 11th (Korea time) 'Saudi proposes 100 million euros (about 149 billion won) to PSG'
PSG midfielder Lee Kang-in has recently received great attention due to rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia. Lee Kang-in, who had already been discussed about the possibility of an English Premier League (EPL) proposal this summer, drew attention as the news of Saudi Arabia's all-time proposal was added.
The beginning was French media coverage. France's Foot Mercato said on the 9th that `Saudi is preparing a huge offer to Lee Kang-in and PSG`PSG has entered a new era.' Now they want to focus on the team. Lee Kang-in also quickly stood out. He finished with three goals and four assists in 23 Ligue 1 games at PSG. Hopefully he will perform better this season and get to know everyone better. However, despite all the circumstances, his name appeared in the transfer market. The Saudis are making eye contact with him.
One club then wants to make him one of the highest-paid players in the league. At the same time, I'll be giving PSG a super large offer. We have to wait and see what PSG, which has closed its transfer door for Lee Kang-in, who was signed until June 2028, will do. The same goes for Lee Kang-in. He also said, "It's good from France and I don't really intend to move on.' He explained that Saudi Arabia's tremendous offer is on the verge of arriving.

However, PSG has consistently been in a position to protect Lee Kang-in. In order to persuade, a certain amount of transfer fee is needed. PSG reportedly rejected a large offer for Lee Kang-in this summer, and Lee Kang-in is also said to want to stay at PSG. At that time in July, Foot Mercato said 'EPL club offered €70 million (about KRW 100 billion) for Lee Kang-in.'" PSG wants to protect Lee Kang-in. He has already rejected the EPL team's offer and wants to keep Lee Kang-in.

Foot01 says 'Lee Kang-in can bring a real jackpot to PSG. The Saudis are ready to do anything to sign him 'Lee Kang-in became one of the most popular players in the squad with fans in his first season. Lee Kang-in has no reason for PSG to break up with him, and he has everything to please. However, proposals that defy competition could hinder PSG's plans for Lee Kang-in. The Saudis are paying attention to him. PSG, which had earlier rejected the big offer, said it could benefit greatly because it is on the verge of receiving a very big offer for Lee Kang-in.
Then 'If there is a crazy offer over €100 million, PSG will think logically twice rather than reject it. Even if Lee Kang-in has enough room for growth, he can reject these specific proposals, especially if he is not a clear starter. 'If Saudi Arabia's tremendous offer materializes, everyone can be a winner, and a transfer will not be completely ruled out' he explained that an offer above a certain level could allow a transfer.

Lee Kang-in's overwhelming uniform sales since his transfer to PSG have even acknowledged leading French reporter Abdelach Bulma, who is familiar with PSG news. Bulma said on his SNS, 'Lee Kang-in, who has gained huge popularity since moving from Mayorka, is the PSG player who sold the most uniforms. He also claimed that he was slightly ahead of Mbappe. Based on Internet sales, Bulma's claim seems to be true. Even in the pre-season, shortly after the recruitment was completed, RMC Sports said that Lee Kang-in and Neymar are PSG stars with the most followers on the Japanese tour. 'Lee Kang-in is currently leading the way as the player with the most uniforms sold in the store, followed by Neymar and Marquignos' Lee Kang-in's immense popularity.
In the end, Saudi Arabia can judge that it can invest enough transfer fees and salaries to recruit the next best star in Asia, not just one player.
Along with rumors of Lee Kang-in's transfer to Saudi Arabia, interest in the salary and transfer fee he will be offered is also growing. If the proposal arrives, everyone will have no choice but to keep an eye on what choice to make.
