Having arrived at the summer mercato in July 2023 from Mallorca, Lee Kang-In, the 23-year-old Korean midfielder, is under contract at Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028, and is making more of an impact in the 2024-2025 season than he did in his irregular first season. Without quite convincing everyone, which attracts rumors around the mercato. This Tuesday, The Athletic, via its journalist David Ornstein, assures us that Arsenal are interested.
Arsenal, in particular, has a number of injuries to contend with, which may lead it to look out for opportunities at the mercato in order to recruit. Lee Kang-In, who has the technical ability to create chances and finish them off, as well as defending energetically, could be a possible target.
But we must remain cautious, as this is just a rumour without any concrete evidence. There’s nothing to say that there will be an offer, let alone an agreement. It has already been made clear that Arsenal would like a loan deal, while PSG are asking for around €50 million. The compromise looks very complicated at best, and it’s hard to imagine the Parisian club loaning out a player who plays regularly. Unless there is a high, almost compulsory purchase option.
