He was in charge of all kinds of bad things, but he received all the bad things he had. A completely devout, Kongjwi-like being.
Lee Kang-in (24) was treated like this at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this season. He devoted himself to playing in all positions as Luis Enrique told him to do, but French media were busy devaluing Lee Kang-in. Even from mid-January, he was benched by his competitors. Coach Enrique is also gradually turning a blind eye to Lee Kang-in.
There was a shocking prospect that Lee Kang-in, who is losing his presence value within the PSG team, will be released from the team in the end. It is said that PSG is trying to sell Lee Kang-in, who has lost his utility value, and coach Enrique has also accepted this.

French soccer media Score France reported on the 27th (Korea time) 'PSG is likely to break up with Lee Kang-in, an offensive midfielder from South Korea, in the summer transfer market' Lee Kang-in, who joined PSG for a transfer fee of 22 million euros in 2023, failed to change coach Enrique's mind. PSG leaders also agreed to transfer Lee Kang-in, according to the report.
'Golden Boy' Lee Kang-in joined PSG ahead of the 2023-2024 season and performed impressively from the first season. He played in 36 official games and showed impressive performance with five goals and five assists.
Based on this, he was given more opportunities to play in the second season, 2024-2025 season. So far, he has played in 41 official games and has scored six goals and five assists. It has already surpassed last season's record. Looking at this record alone, it seems that Lee Kang-in is gradually expanding his position in PSG.
But that is not the case. Lee Kang-in is treated like a 'consumables' Coach Enrique didn't trust Lee Kang-in as the main player from the beginning. Although he was given a chance to start, he mainly played as a replacement member. Even the position went out as the coach told me, regardless of fake No. 9, right wing forward, and central midfielder.
At first, Enrique seemed to recognize and trust Lee Kang-in's value to this extent. But as time went by, it turned out that this was not the case. He treated Lee Kang-in as if he were easy to use. There was no plan to grow into a main player.
So when Khvicha Kvaratshelia was recruited from the transfer market in January, Lee Kang-in was sent to the bench. It was decided that it was useless. Therefore, it was predicted that Lee Kang-in would leave PSG after the end of the season.
In particular, it is reported that Lee Kang-in's agent traveled to England in the middle of this month and contacted several EPL clubs, and rumors of Lee Kang-in's transfer are expanding. In other words, there have been reports of PSG's sale as if it is a wedge in this atmosphere.
Score France, which reported this, set a minimum of 30 million euros for Lee Kang-in as a transfer fee. If it's lower than this, we won't sell it.'" PSG is proud that Lee Kang-in's value has risen considerably. Of course, the market mood is still a question mark. From Lee Kang-in's point of view, he has to choose whether he will continue to remain at PSG as a nuisance or take on a new challenge in an unfamiliar place.
