Interest in the future of Lee Kang-in, who has been pushed back as a complete replacement resource from French Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is rising.
Recently, French leading daily newspaper L'Equipe mentioned that Lee Kang-in is likely to leave the team in the transfer market this summer, making Lee Kang-in's future more uncertain, and Arsenal of the English Premier League (EPL) has emerged as one of the likely next destinations.
"PSG, which is set for the summer transfer market, will soon make a major decision on Lee Kang-in," L'Equipe reported on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time).
PSG is currently able to play in the UEFA Champions League final in Munich, Germany, the media said. "In the smooth journey, some PSG players are gradually disappearing from the stadium."
"Lee Kang-in is one of them. In the early days of the season, PSG coach Luis Enrique used him frequently. Now he is a complete replacement. Crucially, he has not been able to play in the last Champions League tournament. There were even cases where he was not listed on the replacement list."
PSG is also willing to allow Lee Kang-in to transfer. Of course, it is not that they will sell it at a bargain price for a quick sale. The specific amount is uncertain. After the end of the season, the two sides will meet to make a final decision," he added.
Lee Kang-in left Mallorca in Spain's La Liga in the summer of 2023 and joined PSG. The contract period is stable as it is set until June 2028, but it is still not established as a solid starting player in this 2024-2025 season, and the playing time is significantly decreasing.
In fact, Lee started 24 of 43 matches, including the league and cup competitions, and played as a substitute in 19 matches this season. He has six goals and six assists in attack. Although he has made significant contributions numerically, he has been limited in use in key matches such as the UEFA Champions League tournament.
It was not used as a substitute resource in the last quarterfinal match against Aston Villa and the first leg of the semifinal match against Arsenal. This situation clearly shows that Lee Kang-in's position is shaking within the team.
However, since "L'Equipe" said that no full decision has been made on Lee Kang-in's transfer at this time, PSG seems to plan to allow him to transfer only after receiving an appropriate transfer fee.
Lee Kang-in is evaluated as a versatile resource even within PSG. Under Enrique, he played various positions, including attacking midfielder, central midfielder, wing forward, and even zero-top role.
At the beginning of the season, he was praised by Enrique as a "player who can be used in the position before attack." However, as competition intensifies in the second half of the season, Lee Kang-in is gradually being pushed out as a substitute resource.
PSG's stellar lineup of strikers is also a factor that influenced Lee Kang-in's reduction in position. Usman Dembele, who is currently in charge of free roll, is also mentioned as a candidate for the Ballon d'Or, while Khvitsa Kvaratshelia, who joined the team through the winter transfer market, has already secured a starting position as a left winger.
Prospect Desiree has also recently grown rapidly and attracted attention, and Bradley Barcola is also in the top spot in the team's offensive points category. 온라인카지노
Amid this competition, Lee Kang-in seems to be exploring the possibility of new challenges rather than the immediate future of the team. The next destination that is drawing the most attention is Arsenal, which has been constantly mentioned this season.
