'You can't give me cheap. 'If you want to take it, pay a sufficient transfer fee.'
Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) attitude is as clear as a knife. Talented young striker Lee Kang-in (24) was labeled 'No Sales'.
Of course, it's not that there's no way to get rid of this scab. You just have to offer a sufficient transfer fee. There's already a hint. At least twice as much as when bringing in Lee Kang-in, 44 million euros (about 66.1 billion won). It is a number that can ease PSG's tough attitude. Whether Arsenal can meet this number is the key point of 'Lee Kang-in EPL transfer theory'.
Lee Kang-in's stock price soared in the January transfer market. Reports poured in from the region that multiple English Premier League (EPL) teams were targeting Lee Kang-in. Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester United are known to want Lee Kang-in. Italian media Tutto Mercato also reported on the 6th that 「Manchester United and Newcastle requested information on Lee Kang-in from PSG」.

However, Arsenal is the most active team in recruiting Lee Kang-in. British media The Athletic reported on the 8th (Korea time) 'Arnall is keeping an eye on Korean striker Lee Kang-in, who is currently playing for PSG.'Lee Kang-in is also playing steadily under PSG coach Luis Enrique, but he is open to new challenges considering the future'
Arsenal's interest in Lee Kang-in is quite specific. Arsenal highly appreciates Lee Kang-in's versatile offensive ability, ability to create offensive points, low transfer fees, and healthy physical durability. It is expected to play an important offensive resource in the team. He also highly appreciates that he is a left-footed kick specialist. For this reason, it was expected that Lee Kang-in would become a Premier Leaguer and face off against senior players of the national team such as Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan.
However, it is very difficult for this imagination to come true. This is because Lee Kang-in's team PSG has no intention of releasing Lee Kang-in. Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, said on his SNS on the 8th that `multiple EPL clubs are showing interest, but PSG is not considering Lee Kang-in's transfer in January. The position on Lee Kang-in, who is highly regarded within the team, is clear.
Such remarks by reporter Romano, who has considerable public confidence, clearly show the current confrontation between Arsenal and PSG over Lee Kang-in. Arsenal desperately want it, but PSG have no intention of accepting a transfer offer. This is because Lee Kang-in is constantly playing with the trust of coach Luis Enrique, and above all, the marketing revenue of the Asian market through Lee Kang-in is large. It's a goose that lays golden eggs.

In the end, Arsenal's only way to turn PSG's mind is 'numerous (money)'. PSG has already given a hint. The Athletic said 'PSG is not actively considering selling Lee Kang-in. However, if a deal is to take place, it would have to be at least twice the 22 million euros PSG paid for Lee Kang-in from Mallorca in July 2023.
PSG's position, which does not want to lose money in the transfer market, is fully understandable. And a player's value is determined by market demand. Lee Kang-in's proper ransom is now more than 44 million euros. PSG has no intention of letting Lee Kang-in go if they don't receive it like that.
It's Arsenal's turn to respond. Lee Kang-in needs to show how sincere he is in recruiting him to recruit him. Methods such as recruiting leases do not work. The gains of PSG are minimal. However, if Arsenal offers more than 44 million euros, the possibility of PSG changing its mind cannot be ruled out.
