The reason for wanting Lee Kang-in is clear. Lee Kang-in proved his talent on the stage in Spain and France. Born in Valencia (Spain), Youth, he blossomed in Real Mallorca (Spain) in the 2022-2023 season. In the 2022-2023 season, he played 2,840 minutes in 36 matches (33 starts) in Spain's Primera Liga.

There is another reason why EPL, especially Arsenal, want Lee Kang-in. It's Tottenham's Son Heung-min case. Tottenham held Son Heung-min in their arms through the transfer market in the summer of 2015. Son Heung-min was a key player in Tottenham and set various records.

Tottenham also completed an off-season tour of Korea and attracting sponsorships for Korean companies. Tottenham has become the `national club' of South Korea.




An official from the transfer market said, `Tottenham is sweeping love not only for Korea but also for Asian fans by recruiting Son Heung-min. Arsenal particularly want benchmarking. But this is the same for PSG. PSG said, "It is not easy to give up Lee Kang-in's talent as well as the additional profits he gets through him.'

Earlier, French media Lekif's reporter Roik Tanji 'PSG has no intention of selling Lee Kang-in. If an offer of at least 50 million euros is received, it can be considered. However, Lee Kang-in also said he has no intention of leaving the team. British media The Athletic also said 'PSG does not actively consider sales. Lee Kang-in is highly regarded both inside and outside the stadium. He has a big influence in the Asian market. The club wants at least double the 22 million euros invested when recruiting Lee Kang-in. The current price tag is burdensome. If PSG are prepared to consider a loan, including a full recruitment option, Arsenal could also be ready to negotiate,' it said.

Another French media outlet, Le10 Sport, also said on the 11th that the PSG will also reject the €44 million offer (for Lee Kang-in). PSG have also had talks of a loan, but want more than 44 million euros for a transfer. Talk of Lee Kang-in's transfer seems to have already ended. Lee Kang-in said he will spend time at PSG.
