Italian Giants Battle for Lee Kang-in: Napoli, Inter, Milan & Juventus All in the Race

The race for Lee Kang-in is heating up across Italy, with Corriere dello Sport reporting that both Napoli and Inter Milan have set their sights on the PSG midfielder. And now, according to Turkish football journalist Ekrem Konur, AC Milan and Juventus have also entered the fray.

Lee, a highly rated talent born in 2001, is reportedly eager to leave Paris this summer in search of more playing time and a central role. While his market valuation remains high, Corriere suggests that a loan deal with either a purchase obligation or an option to buy could open the door for a move to Serie A.

Napoli, in particular, are said to be monitoring Lee closely. Sporting director Mauro Meluso and strategist Giovanni Manna reportedly view the South Korean star as a player who can not only elevate the squad’s technical quality but also expand the club's global brand appeal. With Napoli already negotiating for Jonathan David and Edon Zhegrova, the addition of Lee could signal a bold new direction for the Scudetto holders.

Inter, meanwhile, are also reportedly keen on Lee’s versatility and creativity in the final third. But they may now face stiff competition. Ekrem Konur has revealed that both AC Milan and Juventus are seriously considering a move for the Korean international, with scouts from both clubs having monitored his situation in Paris for months.

With four of Italy's biggest clubs circling, Lee Kang-in could be on the verge of becoming the most sought-after midfielder in Serie A this summer. As transfer talks intensify, one thing is clear: Italy has fallen in love with the idea of Lee.
