Lee Kang-in determined to go to Premier League

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

According to Football Asian , the Korean midfielder is almost out of the question of moving to Napoli, even though the prospect of him leaving Paris Saint-Germain is very close. Lee Kang-in wants to move to the Premier League, instead of Serie A.

As for Paris Saint-Germain, the French club is willing to let Lee Kang-in leave the team if they can collect 30-40 million euros. This amount is not large, completely within the ability of Premier League clubs to pay.

The high financial demands of PSG and Lee Kang-in make it likely that Napoli, AC Milan or Juventus will have to give up on this deal. The financial factors and sporting ambitions of the three Italian clubs are not enough to compete with the economic strength and stature of the Premier League teams.

Arsenal, Manchester United and Aston Villa are said to be the leading contenders for Lee Kang-in's signature. Sources told Le Parisien that Lee Kang-in's representatives have held discussions with several Premier League clubs, and the player is also interested in a move to England.

Lee Kang-in signed a five-year contract with PSG in the summer of 2023, won two Ligue 1 titles, and impressed 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 stage of the Champions League this season, Lee Kang-in's mark became increasingly blurred. The appearance of Desire Doué and January signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia made it impossible for Lee Kang-in to compete for a starting position in the attack.

On the bench, coach Luis Enrique also likes to use Gonçalo Ramos and Bradley Barcola. In midfield, Lee Kang-in also cannot compete with Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and João Neves or Warren Zaïre-Emery.

PSG confidently entered the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup. In the early morning of June 24, PSG defeated Seattle Sounders 2-0 to win first place in Group B of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
