Having arrived from Mallorca during the summer transfer window in July 2023, Lee Kang-In, a 24-year-old South Korean midfielder/winger, is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028. He took some time to adapt and establish himself, but has since grown in stature. This hasn’t stopped rumors of a departure, particularly with interest from Atlético Madrid this winter. Today, L’Equipe reports that the situation is clear.
“The idea would be to extend his contract.”
With the transfer window closing at 8 p.m., Lee attracted significant interest from Atlético Madrid this winter. It seems that circumstances were no longer quite the same as last summer when he questioned the future of his time in Paris. He declined. And it was unthinkable for the Parisian club to part ways with him at this stage of the year. The idea would be to extend his contract, which expires on June 30, 2028.
Nothing is impossible, but we always remain cautious with rumors. There was talk in recent weeks of Lee wanting to leave, without any confirmation. Today, it seems that this idea never existed. Which is plausible, since Lee has never expressed a desire to leave. The Korean has actually progressed at PSG in recent months and is becoming increasingly important to the squad. It’s an interesting time; it would be a shame to leave now.
Moreover, the club probably doesn’t particularly want to let him go, and an extension would make sense. However, it’s not a done deal either. Football and the transfer market can move very quickly. We’re waiting for concrete information to have any certainty.
