Having arrived in the summer transfer window in July 2023 from Mallorca, 24-year-old Korean midfielder/winger Lee Kang-in is under contract at Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028. He has achieved some great things, but is struggling to fully establish himself, and there are suggestions of a departure this transfer window. Marca reported on Tuesday that the player would like to find a way out, even though coach Luis Enrique likes him.
Serie A and Premier League clubs are already making a move.
“The player wants to play a more important role and hasn’t ruled out leaving the European champions to gain quality playing time with powerful European teams. The Korean has earned the respect of Luis Enrique, and the Asturian coach is not in favor of his departure. However, the player wants to explore the opportunities that present themselves to him on the market.”
The Korean is keen to explore Premier League and Serie A options to reorient his career. Napoli and Manchester United have expressed interest, and other teams from both leagues are in direct contact with the player and are interested in signing him.”
It all makes sense; Lee may be keen to return to a more prominent role at the club. He barely played in the Champions League qualifying rounds and the Club World Cup. But be warned, these are just rumors. Nothing concrete. Recently, the player has been speaking rather positively about his place at PSG, which is something to consider. Even if a press conference statement isn’t everything.
This departure may depend on concrete offers received, as Paris likely isn’t planning on giving this highly versatile player a free pass, which always pleases Luis Enrique. We also need to consider the options for recruiting; nothing is simple either. We hope for more concrete information soon, while the uncertainty continues.
