Arriving in the summer transfer window in July 2023 from Mallorca, Lee Kang-In, the 24-year-old Korean midfielder/winger, is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028. He took some time to adapt and establish himself, but eventually managed to step up his game. However, this hasn’t stopped rumors of a possible departure. Recently, there has been talk of interest from Atletico Madrid. Marca now reports that PSG has set a price and coach Luis Enrique has a clear stance.
The Korean player, a top target for Atletico Madrid in this winter transfer window to strengthen their attack, is valued between 40 and 50 million euros, a price set by PSG given Atletico’s clear interest. Mateu Alemany traveled to Paris last week to begin negotiations to bring the former Mallorca and Valencia player to the Metropolitano Stadium. But Kang’s transfer is not just a matter of money. In fact, one of the obstacles to overcome is Luis Enrique’s determination not to lose a player during the winter transfer window. Although the Korean is not an undisputed starter, he is regularly included in the lineup. To such an extent that the Asturian coach does not want to lose him in January. Of course, the summer transfer window would be a different story.”
Nothing is impossible, but caution is definitely warranted. For now, it’s just a rumor, without any confirmation. In particular, there’s no indication that Lee wants to leave PSG, where he had been gaining momentum before his injury in December. And there is still room for him to make an impact in the second half of the season.
In fact, the most credible part of the rumor is that Luis Enrique is counting on the Korean international and is closing the door for the transfer window. Especially since replacing him in the final days would be difficult. With his versatility and team spirit, in addition to his talent, he fits perfectly into the Spanish coach’s project.
The price mentioned is not impossible, but it’s far from certain since the feeling is that the coach is shutting the door on a transfer. Also, Spanish media had mentioned a possible loan with an option to buy from Atletico Madrid, but that now seems very unlikely. Above all, there is nothing concrete in favor of a transfer.
