Juventus enter race for PSG's Kang-in Lee as fee could rise

Juventus have joined the chase for 25‑year‑old South Korean Kang‑in Lee, Paris Saint-Germain’s World Cup standout, after dello Sport reported the move today. The South Korean impressed despite South Korea’s loss to South Africa last night, and his preferred destination is Spain, where he previously thrived at Valencia. Atletico Madrid have been strongly linked with Lee, and many assumed a deal was near completion before Juventus entered the race. The Italian club’s enquiry was confirmed by dello Sport. Juventus’ interest could boost Paris Saint-Germain’s negotiating position, allowing the French club to secure a higher transfer fee with multiple suitors. Paris Saint-Germain hopes the competition will raise the final amount.

Lee, 25, has been a handy player for Paris Saint-Germain and wants to move to a club where he is an undisputed starter. His desire for regular playing time drives the transfer speculation. South Korea’s unexpected defeat to South Africa last night jeopardised their World Cup qualification hopes, though they may still advance as a third‑placed team. The loss was described as a blow to their campaign.
