The end for Lee Kang-in at PSG

Lee Kang-in is at an important crossroads in his career.

Sources told Le Parisien that Lee Kang-in's representatives are in discussions with several Premier League clubs, and the player is also excited about the possibility of moving to England.

As for Paris Saint-Germain, the French club is willing to let Lee Kang-in leave the team if they can collect 22 million euros, the fee they paid to buy the player from Mallorca. This amount is not large, completely within the ability of mid-level clubs in the Premier League to pay.

The South Korean midfielder was left out of PSG's final Ligue 1 game of the season against Auxerre. He was on the bench for the entire match, not among the five substitutes brought on. This is a sign that Lee is no longer in coach Luis Enrique's plans for next season.

Lee Kang-in signed a five-year contract with PSG in the summer of 2023, winning two Ligue 1 titles, impressing at times as an attacking midfielder or "false striker". However, the Korean striker struggled to find playing time in the second half of this season. Especially when PSG played explosively in the knockout stages of the Champions League this season, Lee Kang-in's mark became increasingly blurred.

The arrival of Désiré Doué and January signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia left Lee Kang-in without competition for a starting place in attack. On the bench, coach Luis Enrique also preferred to use Gonçalo Ramos and Bradley Barcola. In midfield, Lee Kang-in also had no competition from Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and João Neves or Warren Zaïre-Emery.
