Paris Saint-Germain have set their sights on Mallorca youngster Kang In Lee.

Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly close to agreeing a deal for Mallorca's Kang In Lee. 

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is one of the brightest young talents in the Spanish top flight and has just completed an exceptional season, as his 12-goal contributions helped Los Piratas to a top-half finish.

Kang In on PSG radar 

According to a report by Foot Mercato, the Parisians are in advanced negotiations to sign the South Korea international. 

The former Valencia academy graduate has not looked back since leaving the club for Son Moix at the start of the 2021/22 season and has formed a powerful partnership with Verdat Muriqi that has kept Javier Aguirre's side afloat. 

PSG are said to have reached an agreement on personal terms with the young midfielder, but they are still in negotiations with the club. 

They are facing competition from Atletico Madrid; however, the French giants are currently ahead, as the report places their bid (€15 million) ahead of Los Colchoneros' (€12 million).

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe has reportedly informed PSG that he will not be triggering the extension on his contract. This means they will have to sell him this summer or lose him for free.
