Juventus have been in discussions over signing Randal Kolo Muani from PSG this summer, but the Bianconeri have now reportedly identified another player from the French champions that they would like to add to their squad ahead of the new campaign.
PSG remain one of the strongest clubs in world football and has continued its dominance by winning back-to-back Champions League titles while also maintaining control of domestic competitions in France.
The Ligue 1 side is among the wealthiest and most powerful clubs in football, which means they are rarely placed under financial pressure to sell players unless they are prepared to sanction a departure themselves.
Juventus are aware that PSG are open to selling Kolo Muani, which could make negotiations easier regarding the striker’s future, but according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian side is also interested in signing Lee Kang In.
Juventus exploring attacking reinforcements
The South Korean international has struggled to secure regular starting opportunities in Paris, despite remaining a highly regarded member of the squad. His lack of consistent game time could encourage him to consider a move elsewhere during this transfer window in search of a larger role.
Juventus are believed to view Lee as a player capable of strengthening their attacking options and adding creativity to the squad. The Bianconeri are continuing to assess several targets as they prepare for the upcoming season under Luciano Spalletti.
The midfielder’s versatility and technical quality are considered major strengths, and Juventus believe he could become a regular starter if he were to complete a move to Turin this summer.
PSG position remains important
Although PSG are open to discussions regarding some members of their squad, the French champions remain in a strong negotiating position because they are not under pressure to sell players for financial reasons.
Juventus will therefore need to present a convincing proposal if they want to secure Lee’s signature ahead of competing clubs who may also show interest in the South Korean international.
The Bianconeri are determined to assemble a strong and competitive squad before the start of next season, and Lee has emerged as one of the players they believe could help strengthen the team moving forward.
