Is there enough funds for Arsenal to recruit Lee Kang-in.
On the 14th (Korea time), Sky Sports in the UK will be able to invest at least 100 million pounds (about 185.3 billion won) in the transfer market this summer, including funds from player sales. Arsenal are also in a very favorable position in the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) and have enough funds to use in the summer transfer window, it reported.
It is an opportunity to use additional funds for the sale of players for £100 million, but it is unclear whether the money will continue to recruit Lee Kang-in. Arsenal have already signed Martin Subimendi, a Real Sociedad defensive midfielder. Only the official announcement has not been made. Half of the budget has already been consumed by investing 50.5 million pounds (about 93.6 billion won) in transfer fees only for Subimendi.
After Subimendi, Arsenal's focus is on striker. Arsenal want Alexander Isaac but it is difficult in reality. Victor Jockeres and Benjamin Seschko are mentioned as possible targets. The estimated transfer fee for the two players is 67 million pounds (about 124.1 billion won). Arsenal's transfer budget is already overspending even if either Jockeres or Seschko is added.
In the end, the recruitment of other players should proceed through the sale of players, but there are no players who can earn a lot of transfer fees. Candidates for release include Gabriel Jejues, Leandro Trossar, and Oleksandr Zinchenkoe Raheem Sterling. Sterling is on loan, so it's over when he goes back to Chelsea.
Trossar is a good player at Arsenal in recent years, but Arsenal are also considering renewing his contract with Trossar. In the end, only Jeju and Zinchenko remain, but the two players have virtually no performance. They are difficult players to receive a lot of money, and it is difficult to guarantee whether the sale will be done properly.
Furthermore, Arsenal is also preparing to renew a massive contract with Bukayo Saka and William Saliba, so if they hold on to the two players, their salary system will rise. There was not a lot of initial transfer funds, and two large-scale recruitments are already being prepared, so it is not expected that it will be easy to invest a lot of money in other positions to reinforce them.
Lee Kang-in, who is dissatisfied with his current playing time, will talk with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) about the future when the season is over. There were also local reports that even if PSG decided to sell Lee Kang-in, it would never allow a low transfer fee.
PSG invested 22 million euros (about 34.4 billion won) when bringing in Lee Kang-in, and now he will try to receive more than 30 million euros (about 46.9 billion won) in ransom because he proved that Lee Kang-in also works in big clubs.
There are financial problems, but the key is whether Arsenal still maintains the interest they had in Lee Kang-in in the winter transfer market. Recently, Lee Kang-in's name has not been mentioned at all when conveying Arsenal's transfer rumors in highly intelligent media such as the BBC and The Athletic.
