The media reported on the 7th (Korea time) 'There is no doubt that Lee Kang-in is spending his last few weeks at PSG. PSG decided to release Lee Kang-in in the transfer market this summer, saying 'Lee Kang-in has been used as a key Joker for the team for a while, energizing the team in the second half of the game. However, he has barely played in recent weeks. Even if he comes out as a substitute, his position has weakened significantly, with his playing time getting shorter.
It's a shocking content. Until now, Lee Kang-in has been the same as the team's 'Madangsoe'. He showed excellent skills and activity regardless of playing time by going around fake No. 9, right wing forward, and central midfielder. He seemed to be favored by Luis Enrique.

However, this decision revealed that Enrique actually did not like Lee Kang-in very much. As a result of the influx of resources to replace Lee Kang-in's role, they are giving them a chance to play without hesitation. Lee Kang-in was increasingly being alienated from Enrique's tactics.
It started in January when Khvitsa Kvaratshelia (24), whose role overlaps with Lee Kang-in in the transfer market, was recruited. Hbicha, who is younger than Lee Kang-in and has excellent physical conditions and speed, was immediately selected as the main striker as soon as he joined the team. In addition, Usman Dembele's awakening and Desiree's portrait victory overlapped, erasing Lee Kang-in's position. Young midfielders such as João Neves and Seni Mayulu have also been in fairly good condition recently.
As a result, Lee Kang-in is no longer in Enrique's eyes. The incident that clearly showed this was the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 against Liverpool on the 6th. Lee Kang-in only kept the bench from the beginning to the end of the day.

Even coach Enrique used three of the five replacement cards, but he didn't give Lee Kang-in a chance. Desiree Due, Warren Zaire-Emery, and Gonzalo Hamus were added. They are similar in use to Lee Kang-in. While these players were using it, the fact that they turned away Lee Kang-in to the end even though they still have replacement cards means that coach Enrique has nothing more to expect from Lee Kang-in.
There have already been signs of such a change in position. In the three games before the Champions League, Lee Kang-in's playing time decreased to 30 minutes → 16 minutes → 15 minutes. The position that has begun to narrow once again is difficult to expand. There is no other way than to make the squad loose due to injuries to existing players. At this rate, Lee Kang-in will have no choice but to become a 'surplus resource'.
In the end, PSG also seems to have started calculating while looking at the reality with a cool head. If Lee Kang-in is left in this state, there is no other way but to use it as 'Uniform Sales'. PSG is already seeking to recruit striker Alexander Isak (Newcastle) in the summer transfer market. It is necessary to arrange the team slots in advance and reorganize the financial situation. This is why Lee Kang-in was designated as a target for sale.

If Lee Kang-in can be sold at market value in the summer transfer market, PSG can expect some profit. This is because Lee Kang-in's value has risen a lot since joining PSG.
Lee Kang-in, a former member of Majorca in Spain's Primera Liga, transferred to PSG, which paid 22 million euros (about 34.6 billion won) in the summer 2023 transfer market. Since then, Lee Kang-in's value has risen significantly.
According to Transfermarkt, which evaluates the value of soccer players around the world, Lee Kang-in's ransom, which was valued at 22 million euros before and after his transfer to PSG, rose to 25 million euros in summer 2024, a year after joining the team, and as of December 2024, it rose to 30 million euros (about 47.3 billion won).
This means that if PSG sells Lee Kang-in in the transfer market this summer, the base price will start at 30 million euros. If the transfer fee is received based on this standard, PSG can expect at least 8 million euros (about 12.6 billion won).

Fortunately, there will be a lot of demand for Lee Kang-in. During the transfer market in January, multiple English Premier League (EPL) clubs, including Arsenal, Newcastle United and Manchester United, considered or pushed for the recruitment of Lee Kang-in.
Arsenal, in particular, are likely to do massive shopping in the summer transfer market as they failed to recruit a single player in the January transfer window. It is highly likely that Arsenal still wants Lee Kang-in, a versatile multi-player, because what Arsenal seeks is to strengthen their offense. Attention is focusing on whether Lee Kang-in will really leave PSG and find a new team.
