"Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi will have to show solid support as there is another team that sends another love call to Lee Kang-in. According to our information, the Saudi professional league is making eye contact with him. One club wants to make him one of the highest paid players in the league. At the same time, a very big offer will arrive at PSG's office," he added.

Although tough competition is expected to be expected, Lee Kang-in is again showing off his ability. PSG is strengthening its midfield by recruiting Joao Neves this summer. In other words, the number of competitors has already increased at a time when they have to compete with Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery and Fabian Lewis.
In this situation, Lee Kang-in has been called by numerous clubs since the beginning of the transfer market. "PSG has received a considerable offer for South Korea's attacking midfielder Lee Kang-in," Foot Mercato reported on the 16th of last month. "The Premier League PL club, whose name has not been leaked, has offered 70 million euros about 105 billion won to recruit Lee Kang-in."
"PSG has already rejected the PL club's offer. Because they want to keep Lee Kang-in. According to our information, Lee Kang-in feels very comfortable in Paris and does not want to leave the French capital for the time being," he added.
Newcastle also came to mind. "Newcastle made an official offer to PSG to recruit Lee Kang-in," said McPhee Media, which reported the news of Newcastle on the 16th. Director Paul Mitchell said Lee Kang-in is the target of his dreams in the transfer market. Lee Kang-in can play both left and right sides and central midfielders and has the ability to be preferred by coach Eddie Howe. Newcastle will offer 40 million pounds about 71.8 billion won for Lee Kang-in's transfer. Lee Kang-in is aiming to move to Newcastle to play as a starting player.
It is not all that matters. It has been revealed that PSG could be used as a swap deal card to recruit Victor Osimhen from Napoli. However, PSG plans to keep Lee Kang-in. Fabrizio Romano, who is well versed in European soccer news, said that Osimhen has said he agrees on the PSG project and is showing interest in transferring after having positive talks with his agent in Paris.
"We haven't signed a contract with Napoli yet, but PSG will offer a new contract, and we are also waiting for one striker to leave," he added. PSG is also reportedly seeking to recruit Benfica Sinseong João Neves.
However, it went silent for a while. Lee Kang-in was preparing for the new season, reborn as the core of PSG. In this situation, a shocking Saudi offer arrived. "Foot Mercato" disclosed that one of the Saudi clubs had offered Lee a €70 million offer.
His transfer fee is amazing, but what surprised him even more was his salary. Media outlets explained that they want to make him the highest paid player in the league. Currently, the highest paid player in the Saudi professional league is Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently paid 200 million euros 29 million U.S. dollars after moving to Al Nasr in January last year.
This is equivalent to 27 times Lee Kang-in's current salary. According to "Carpology," which compiled soccer players' salaries, Lee Kang-in's current annual salary is 7.27 million euros, the 14th highest in PSG.
It is important how PSG and Lee Kang-in accept the proposal. "Foot Mercato" also said, "We have to see what PSG will do, which has always closed the door to Lee Kang-in's transfer, which was contracted until June 2028. The same goes for Lee Kang-in. We have always said that Lee Kang-in has good feelings with PSG and does not have to transfer."
