PSG is very active at the start of the summer transfer window. Among the surprises that the capital club will sign: Kang-In Lee.

In Paris, this start to the off-season is off to a strong start.

It must be said that in the event of the departure of the French striker this summer, the entire PSG project would be upset. While waiting to learn more about the world champion, Luis Campos is closing certain files. And some that no one saw coming. Indeed, the transfer window press agrees that Kang-In Lee will soon join the ranks of the capital club from Mallorca. The two clubs agree on a transfer of around 20 million euros. The 22-year-old Korean would even have already passed his medical examination. A new bet therefore for PSG.

Lee, PSG already in trouble?

If this file is surprising but could ultimately turn out to be a good pickaxe, a major problem will nevertheless have to be managed by PSG. Indeed, like any South Korean citizen, Kang-In Lee will have to complete his compulsory military service for 18 months before his 30th birthday. However, this obligation can be avoided or reduced in the event of a medal at the Paris Olympics, if he wins the Asian Games or the Asian Cup. This is also what happened to Heung-min Son, who won the Asian Games, allowing him to do a shortened military service. The next deadlines for Lee will be the Asian Games in September 2023 and the Asian Cup in January 2024. Two dates in the middle of the season and at very important times which will not suit the capital club…
