Lee Kang-In, a 24-year-old Korean midfielder/winger who arrived in the summer transfer window in July 2023 from Mallorca, is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028. He has achieved some great things, but is struggling to fully establish himself, and there is talk of a move this transfer window. Today, Sports Zone reports this Friday that a move to Saudi Arabia is on the cards, while PSG is considering Maghnes Akliouche (23, AS Monaco) as his replacement.
Two months later, the Lee Kang-in case appears to be making slow progress, but Al-Nassr continues to hold discussions with the player’s entourage. Paris is very open to a sale.
EXCL. Maghnes Akliouche still dreams of PSG.
Contacts have already been established with his entourage since last summer, but Paris must first make room, notably by selling Asensio and Lee Kang-In.
If the Korean leaves Paris, the Monegasque will be a priority.
Relatively credible claims, but we always remain cautious until it’s concrete. Lee seems to be on the way out, except that this has never been confirmed and the assumptions should not be exaggerated. This is not the first time that Saudi Arabia has been mentioned as a potential future option for him. It’s unclear whether this option truly interests him. Other possibilities have been mentioned, particularly in Serie A.
As for Akliouche, he could be a very good fit for PSG with his talent, his passion, and his versatility. He’s a choice that would make sense in place of Lee. Which also makes the rumor a bit “easy.” But mutual interest has been rumored for a while. A transfer wouldn’t be a surprise. It remains distant, as the agreement with Monaco looks complicated.
