Lee Kang-in continues to be on the list of transfer rumors this summer. And Saudi interest began to reach out to Lee Kang-in.
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.

It is a well-deserved proposition for Saudi Arabia. This is because you can embrace the next Korean superstar. I've already confirmed his popularity through PSG. Some French media became great stars of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) while playing for Mayorkas last season. Lee Kang-in is not only an important player for Luis Enrique, but he has grown considerably. He partially filled the departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar. 'Lee Kang-in is currently the player who has sold the most uniforms in offline stores after Mbappe, and he has surpassed Mbappe on online platforms.'" In fact, Le Parisien's marketing expert says, "Most of the orders come from South Korea, and they dominate the online sales rankings. There are Lee Kang-in enthusiasts," he said, explaining Lee Kang-in's popularity.
Lee Kang-in's effect has already been proven several times. PSG Talk, which delivers PSG news, has long served as a hub for outstanding talent in the world, with numerous stars boasting their names. However, the 2023-2024 season is different. Other famous players are gone and only Mbappe is left. Many people assumed that Mbappe would lead the uniform sales, but that was not the case. According to the news, Mbappe is the top seller of uniforms in offline and online stores. Lee Kang-in ranked second in PSG uniform sales at offline stores and Onlyan stores, he said, explaining that Lee Kang-in filled the gap of famous players.
In last year's Asian tour, Lee Kang-in's popularity was felt through fans' reactions. Lee Kang-in's arrival at the Japanese airport showed Lee Kang-in conducting fan service for Japanese fans. When Lee Kang-in saw the fans near the entrance of the airport, he immediately dragged his carrier and signed his uniform and paper. Japanese fans shouted out their names loudly, saying 'Lee Kang-in', and many people flocked to Lee Kang-in's stand to get an autograph and extended their arms. It was also a part of Japan that could realize the popularity toward Lee Kang-in.
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.

The level Neymar asked for is also enormous. British media outlet The Sun called for eight supercars for him and his secretaries. This included four Mercedes Benz Volkswagen and Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. He also explained that for himself, friends and family, the driver was asked to wait 24 hours a day, 24 hours a day, 24 hours a day, 24 hours a day.
In addition, there have been several requests, including sauna facilities, chefs, and cleaners, and al-Hilal has requested that al-Hilal charge for using hotels and restaurants in Riyadh, the Saudi capital. He also demanded at least 25 rooms for personal chartered flights for himself and his family to use when traveling, installing large outdoor swimming pools, and allowing acquaintances to stay. Al-Hilal did not reject any of this and was able to bring Neymar in, although he made demands beyond just the player's treatment. The treatment Lee Kang-in will receive could be enormous.
In addition, Lee Kang-in may have asked a close Saudi senior named Neymar for advice on his concerns about the transfer, so Lee Kang-in's thoughts on the transfer may change depending on his reaction. Lee Kang-in said at the time of Nemimar's transfer to Al-Hilal "It was a short time, but it was a very special time for me"I posted a post looking back on my memories with Neymar, and Neymar also "It was a short time, but you already have a place in my heart. I'll see you later, son." He called Lee Kang-in his son and even left a heart emoticon, showing strong affection.

There was already interest in Lee Kang-in on the EPL stage. Foot Mercato also said on the 16th of last month that the EPL club offered 70 million euros (about 100 billion won) for Lee Kang-in. Then 'PSG wants to protect Lee Kang-in. He has already rejected the EPL club's offer and wants to keep Lee Kang-in. Lee Kang-in is also very good at PSG, and he doesn't want to leave PSG for the time being. Therefore, Lee Kang-in explained that he will remain at PSG in the 2024-2025 season.
The transfer rumor was not the end. Newcastle's name, not anonymous, was mentioned in earnest, raising the possibility of a transfer again. The news of Newcastle was reported on the 16th on the official SNS that `Newcastle has made official inquiries to PSG about Lee Kang-in in the past 24 hours.' McPhee Media pointed out that Newcastle's new director Paul Mitchell pointed to Lee Kang-in as his dream goal in the transfer market. Lee Kang-in, who was the youngest Korean to play in Europe in 2019, plays both wing and center midfielder, and this ability has come as a big draw for Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and director Mitchell'He also explained why Newcastle showed interest. However, there has been no news that Newcastle and PSG have entered negotiations since then.
Since the offer of 70 million euros was rejected at the time, it is hard to guarantee that Saudi Arabia can persuade PSG to send Lee Kang-in unless it is really a mega offer. In addition, Lee Kang-in will have to be more persuasive than Lee Kang-in's dream size in order to persuade Saudi Arabia by offering a huge salary.
Saudi Arabia's interest in Lee Kang-in surprised everyone. Attention is also focusing on whether Saudi Arabia's proposal will really persuade PSG and Lee Kang-in.
