Napoli is fully immersed in recruiting Lee Kang-in.
Italy's Areanapoli quoted a report by Italy's Gazeta on the 30th (Korea time) saying that `The head of Giovanni Manna, who is crazy about Lee Kang-in, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has set a price.'
Areanapoli says 'The general manager is busy to strengthen his power. Napoli has strong influence over Lee Kang-in, and Manna has a special affection for Lee Kang-in. Lee Kang-in has no time to play behind his current competitors. There is a possibility that the general manager will push for Lee Kang-in in earnest within a few days.

Lee Kang-in has recently been mentioned as a possible transfer due to his shaky position at PSG. The starting point was the winter transfer market. When Khvicha Kvaratshelia transferred to PSG, Luis Enrique began to operate a fixed starting lineup. It was the opposite of how he used several players, including Lee Kang-in, in turns until the beginning of this season. Khvicha, Usman Dembele, Bradley Barcola, and Desiree Doue, João Neves and Vitinha were the main starters in the midfield.
Lee Kang-in, who was pushed back from the main competition, received an opportunity in an insignificant game. At key moments for the team, such as the European Champions League semi-final and the Coupe de France final, they had to keep sitting on the bench and watch the game.

As Lee Kang-in's position faltered, several teams began to pay attention. It started in the English Premier League (EPL). Manchester United, Arsenal and Crystal Palace have shown interest. Arsenal reportedly considered Lee Kang-in as a loan candidate last winter as well. Saudi Arabia also participated in the recruitment campaign. News has been reported that Lee Kang-in is considering recruiting him with a huge offer.
Napoli also showed interest in Lee Kang-in. This is not the first time Napoli has shown interest in Lee Kang-in. When PSG tried to recruit Victor Osimhen last summer, it demanded cash and Lee Kang-in as a counter benefit from Osimhen. However, PSG rejected the offer at the time, and the transfer was not made. Napoli, which already enjoyed a great effect by recruiting Korean players as Kim Min-jae, seems to be seeking to strengthen its power and advance into the Asian market by recruiting Lee Kang-in once again.
Other clubs are increasingly interested in Lee Kang-in. Attention is focusing on whether Napoli will win the recruitment of Lee Kang-in this summer or whether other clubs will participate in the competition.
