Following Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), Lee Kang-in of the French League 1 defending champion Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is also likely to remain in his team.

The Athletic, a British sports media outlet, 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'

Lee Kang-in can play both right wing forward and offensive midfielder. In addition, it has the advantage of a left foot kick. It can play an important role in a set piece. In addition, coach Mikel Arteta prefers a style of soccer that is made with passes, which is Lee Kang-in's strength.
In this transfer market, Lee Kang-in is 'popular sales'. Manchester United and Newcastle United, as well as Arsenal, showed interest in 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」.

The Athletic said 'PSG does not actively consider Lee Kang-in's sale. This is because Lee Kang-in is highly valued both inside and outside the stadium. Lee Kang-in's influence in the Asian market (Korea) is also playing a big role. 'If the deal is to be made, it must be at least twice the 22 million euros PSG paid for Lee Kang-in from Mallorca in July 2023.
In other words, Arsenal has to spend at least 44 million euros (about 66.27 billion won) to take Lee Kang-in. It is an amount that Arsenal can afford. The Athletic added 'Asnall is willing to create a negotiating table if PSG allows it to lease' The fact that Arsenal desperately wants Lee Kang-in to recruit him even on loan means that Arsenal desperately wants Lee Kang-in.

Currently, Lee Kang-in's value is at a closing price. According to Transfermarkt, a media outlet specializing in player valuation, Lee Kang-in's ransom is 30 million euros (about 45.18 billion won). It's a career-high. Of course, it could be higher than this in the future. It is a possible scenario in the current atmosphere.
