Zapping But! Football Club PSG: Kolo Muani, Osimhen, Kane… Which number 9 for Paris?
If PSG was more than kind with Kang-In Lee by allowing the South Korean to be released for the Asian Games from September 23rd to October 8th, the gesture from Paris is not completely selfless… and not just to send a message to Kylian Mbappé ahead of the 2024 Olympics or to preserve its business in South Korea.

Is Kang-In Lee exempt from mandatory military service?
Indeed, as AS reveals, Paris also bet on a future gift for Kang-In Lee if he were to win the competition taking place in China. In fact, while the former Majorca player (22 years old) still has to fulfill his mandatory military service of 21 months, winning an Asian competition offers the possibility of a pardon.
Indeed, because he won the gold medal with South Korea at the 2019 Asian Games, Heung-Min Son (Tottenham) had his military obligation reduced to a minimum of three weeks. So PSG also has an interest in South Korea having its most performing team…
To sum up, PSG did not exactly negotiate with South Korea when letting go of Kang-In Lee for the Asian Games. The reason is simple: it can help Paris avoid 21 months of military service for the former Majorca player.
