Will Lee Kang-in break the Asian transfer record?

Lee Kang-in saw his playing time decline.

According to confirmation from Le Parisien , Lee Kang-in officially requested to leave this summer, but the French capital club kept him with a starting price of up to 70 million euros, a number that will break the transfer record for an Asian player.

However, this is only the minimum floor for any future offers, and PSG expect any club wanting to own the Korean star to spend more than 70 million euros.

Lee's contract with PSG is only valid until the summer of 2027, forcing the board to consider selling him at a high price to avoid the risk of losing him for free. PSG kept the Korean player last summer for two reasons, the time when Premier League partners made late offers, leaving the capital club of Paris with no alternative plan.

Despite constantly proving his worth, Lee Kang-in still often has to sit on the bench.

Second, coach Enrique still highly values Lee Kang-in's tactical versatility. Six Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Fulham and Everton are rumored to be interested in buying Lee Kang-in.

However, PSG firmly refused, even turning down a 70 million euro offer from an unnamed English club. Lee's brilliant form in recent times has further strengthened his position, making the player intend to leave next January.

The former Valencia star has always wanted a bigger role at PSG, not just a rotation option or a substitute. With less than a year and a half to go until the 2026 World Cup, where he is expected to be the core of the Korean team's play.

To be ready for that big stage, Lee needs an explosive season, not months of being "frozen" on the bench in Paris.
