Lee Kang-In, a 25-year-old Korean midfielder/winger who joined Paris Saint-Germain from Mallorca in the summer of 2023, is under contract until June 2028. Having largely served as a backup in recent months, he has been the subject of transfer rumors lately—most notably regarding interest from Atlético Madrid. However, La Gazzetta dello Sport now reports that Juventus has also entered the mix.
Gazzetta: Given the difficulties surrounding the Brahim Diaz deal, Juve is reportedly now interested in Kang-in Lee. The PSG player could be an option this summer, even as talks for Kolo Muani continue in search of an agreement (there is optimism regarding personal terms, though an agreement with Paris still needs to be reached).
It is worth noting that the Italian press is known for churning out rumors by jumping the gun—often without the usual level of confirmation. That said, Juventus might well be considering Lee; he is a talented player whose energy and versatility could be a real asset. Furthermore, his current situation seems to open the door for a transfer, which is certainly a helpful factor.
At the same time, it is clear that nothing is straightforward, given the mounting rumors linking him to Atlético Madrid that have yet to materialize into a deal. Indeed, this latest report could simply be a media tactic designed to apply pressure—both on Atlético and on Real Madrid regarding Brahim Diaz. Nothing is certain, so we remain cautious.
