It's crazy! Cristiano Ronaldo (40, Al Nassr) is targeting both 'the wall' Kim Min-jae (29, Bayern Munich) and 'genius' Lee Kang-in (24, Paris Saint-Germain).

French 'SportsZone' reported on the 10th that 'Al Nassr of the Saudi Pro League has begun negotiations to acquire PSG and the South Korean national team attacking midfielder Lee Kang-in. Lee transferred from La Liga's Mallorca to Ligue 1 champions PSG two years ago. PSG brought in Lee to inject youth and creativity into the team following Neymar's departure.'

It's a shocking fact. The Saudi League is primarily acquiring veteran players who are largely past their prime, fueled by massive funds. Son Heung-min, who won the Europa League, is also mentioned as a potential candidate for a move to Saudi Arabia.

The rumor that Lee Kang-in, who is only 24, might go to Saudi Arabia is shocking. In particular, Al Nassr is the team where Cristiano Ronaldo plays. Following the notification of a breakup with Sadio Mané, Al Nassr is seeking to change its structure through Lee.

Reports have surfaced that Al Nassr also wants Kim Min-jae. French 'Foot Mercato' reported on the 13th that 'Al Nassr, a giant in the Saudi Pro League, is actively pursuing the acquisition of Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae. The Korean center-back, who joined Bayern Munich for a transfer fee of €50 million (approximately 78.9 billion won) from Napoli in 2023, has played in 27 matches for his current team to win the Bundesliga title last season.'

Al Nassr has stronger offensive capabilities anchored by Ronaldo, but its defense is a problem. If they acquire Kim Min-jae, they could solve their defensive issues immediately. Backed by oil money, Al Nassr is trying to bring in Kim Min-jae with considerable funds.

It is not the first time Kim Min-jae has been swept up in transfer rumors this summer. However, big European clubs like Juventus, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Inter Milan have been mentioned. His potential move to the Saudi League is a first.

The outlet noted that 'Kim Min-jae, despite suffering an Achilles injury early in the season, has been a key player for Bayern's defense. With Jonathan Tah's acquisition from Bayer Leverkusen, manager Vincent Kompany might allow Kim Min-jae's transfer. Currently, Al Nassr is in negotiations to bring Kim Min-jae on board.'
