PSG Set Sights on Manchester City Target to Replace Lee Kang-In | OneFootball

PSG still have major goals left to chase this season, including the Ligue 1 title and the chance to win back-to-back UEFA Champions League trophies. At the same time, the club is already laying the foundation for the upcoming summer transfer window.

When the season ends, a few players, especially in the attacking group, could start looking for larger roles and more regular playing time than they currently have under manager Luis Enrique. If any departures happen, PSG will likely be active in the market to fill those spots.

One player whose future could be worth watching is Lee Kang-in. He has given PSG valuable depth this season, contributing as an impact substitute and stepping into the starting lineup whenever squad rotation has been needed.

Although Luis Enrique chose to keep Lee at PSG last summer, there is increasing belief that the club could now be willing to let him leave. The South Korean midfielder, who previously played for Mallorca and Valencia, continues to attract interest from Spanish clubs, which could make a transfer easier to complete.

According to L’Équipe (h/t Le10Sport), PSG have already started planning for a possible departure by identifying Maghnes Akliouche as a potential replacement. The versatile Monaco midfielder has reportedly been on Luis Campos’ radar for quite some time, although Manchester City are also believed to be interested.

The report also states that Atlético Madrid are currently the club pushing hardest to sign Lee. That situation could benefit PSG, given Luis Enrique’s admiration for Julián Álvarez. Atlético’s interest in Lee could help create an opening for PSG if they decide to pursue the Argentine forward this summer.

If that happens, the two situations may end up connected, further highlighting how active PSG could be during the upcoming transfer window.
