It's time to make a decision.
Paris Saint-Germain no longer treats Lee Kang-in (24) as its main power. It only distributes a little bit of playing time for marketing. If this continues, it may be classified as a complete surplus power and adversely affect career. Lee Kang-in was put in at the end of the game and played only 10 minutes.
PSG played a home game against league rival Olympique Marseille in the 26th round of the 2024-2025 season at Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the morning of the 17th (Korea time). It was a big match with the pride of the first and second-place teams in the league. It is also called 'Le Clasic'. It has similar characteristics to the matchup between Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain's Primera Liga.
Lee Kang-in did not play as a starter in this important match. Considering the recent atmosphere within the team, it was fully expected. Lee Kang-in, who played various positions such as center midfielder, fake No. 9, and right wing forward with Luis Enrique's favor until early and mid-season, gradually lost his position in the team from mid-January.
In the end, in recent years, it has barely been used as a backup resource for backups, not for selection or major replacement members, or has not been given a chance to play at all. Lee Kang-in's current position in the team was clearly revealed in the first and second rounds of the UEFA Champions League's round of 16 against Liverpool in the middle of this month.
This did not change in league games either. Lee Kang-in was excluded from the starting lineup at the match against Olympique Marseille held on the 17th. Warren Zaire-Emery and Desiree Doue, who are classified as Lee Kang-in and positional competitors, were selected. It was a game in which the main players rested after the round of 16 of the Champions League, but there was no application for Lee Kang-in.
Lee Kang-in played only 19 minutes throughout the first and second rounds of the UCL round of 16, leaving him with physical strength. Still, Enrique did not use Lee Kang-in. Physical strength was not an important variable. This is because Lee Kang-in's skills did not meet Enrique's standards.
In the end, Lee Kang-in watched most of the game from the bench and played as a substitute only in the 10th minute of the second half when his team led 3-1. During the 10-minute playing time, Lee Kang-in recorded 10 cheek touches. The shot was attempted once, and the pass success rate was 100% (7/7). However, there was no impact at all. Lee Kang-in went out and contributed little to the game. It was a role that only finished the game that had already been decided.
To put it bluntly, Lee Kang-in was 'Entire with or without, 'Entire without' on this day. The problem is that this situation will not change much in the future. PSG's strikers and midfielders are already made up of the best power, and individual players are in good condition. There are no injuries. There is no room for Lee Kang-in to squeeze in now.

As long as coach Enrique leads the team and operates similar tactics next season, Lee Kang-in's position is likely to gradually disappear. In the end, only the reason Lee Kang-in had to leave the team in this summer's transfer market was confirmed.
Fortunately, Lee Kang-in is also actively seeking 'PSG escape'. It was reported that Lee Kang-in's agent recently traveled to England and contacted multiple EPL clubs.
Spanish media Relevo reported on the 16th that Javier Garrido, Lee Kang-in's agent, held meetings with Manchester United, Aston Villa and Everton in the UK. So far, it seems to be in the early stages of negotiations. However, it is certain that Lee Kang-in's heart has left PSG. For Lee Kang-in, this is the only answer. remain at PSGGan's career itself is on the verge of collapse.
