PSG have assembled a deep squad that has carried them close to a treble this season. Still, one player could be weighing a move amid reported interest from clubs abroad.

Under manager Luis Enrique, PSG have leaned on that depth to secure consecutive Ligue 1 titles, the Coupe de France, the UEFA Champions League, and the UEFA Super Cup, rotating the squad to keep players fresh across multiple competitions.

Not every player is content with a rotational role, though. Some want more regular minutes, and Kang-in Lee seems to be one of them. He played a pivotal part in PSG’s Super Cup comeback win over Tottenham Hotspur, demonstrating his impact when on the pitch.

CaughtOffside previously reported, citing sources, that Napoli, Manchester United, and Arsenal are closely monitoring the South Korean midfielder, with Arsenal reportedly showing interest through direct contact.

For Lee, the report reveals that the possibility of a move to Aston Villa represents much more than a change of team. It would be a step toward a central role in an ambitious project.

Nonetheless, Fichajes adds that PSG are approaching the situation with caution. Luis Enrique values ​​him, but knows the player wants to feel indispensable in a competitive team.

The French club’s offices are studying whether his departure could generate significant income and free up space in a squad with an excess of attacking options.
