If it goes like this, it's literally 'super awesome'.
There could be a picture of Lee Kang-in (24, PSG) becoming a direct junior to Park Ji-sung. A super-jackpot project that can upgrade Lee Kang-in's soccer career to the next level is underway with the goal of this summer. He is advancing to the English Premier League (EPL). Among them, Manchester United comes to mind.
There is a possibility that Lee Kang-in of Paris Saint-Germain, the current leader of the French League 1, will leave for EPL in the summer transfer market. This is because there were reports that Lee Kang-in's agent met with the EPL club. Javier Garrido from Spain is Lee Kang-in's agent. In addition to Lee Kang-in, he has a number of Spanish Primera Liga players.

Agent Garrido's recent activities have become a hot topic. Spanish media outlet Eldes Marque said on the 2nd (Korean time) 'Garido moved to England about two weeks ago and talked with several EPL clubs. These clubs have shown interest in the portfolios of players under contract with GarridoIn addition to Harvey Guerra (Valencia), there was also a story about Lee Kang-in, a former Valencia native who currently plays for PSG and many big clubs wanted to recruit.
The fact that Lee Kang-in has emerged as a major topic in conversations between Garido and EPL clubs means that the transfer is approaching. Of course, transfer negotiations did not take place right here. Eldesmarke explained that the dialogue did not go beyond mere expressions of interest and exchange of information.
What is clear, however, is that this dialogue is not designed to promote 'Friends'. It can be seen as a kind of pre-PPT. It is worth noting that Garrido briefly briefed EPL clubs on the pros and cons and the current contract situation, showing the players he has against the 'potential buyers'.
And Lee Kang-in was mentioned as the main target in this 'Pre-PPT'. It is true that Lee Kang-in already received attention from various EPL clubs during the transfer market last winter. He is young enough to emit energy, and he has skills that can work in any league, depressurization, wide field of view and multi-position digestibility. Lee Kang-in is the player who is full of attractive points.
His skills have already been proven to some extent. In the 2024-2025 season, he played 41 games for PSG. Under coach Luis Enrique's strong belief, he has played the role of 'Special Joker' until early January.
However, Lee Kang-in's position cooled down as PSG recruited Khvicha Kvaratshelia in the January transfer market. All other competitors also improved greatly and pushed Lee Kang-in. In the end, Lee Kang-in is currently being treated only as a substitute for PSG. Coach Enrique also no longer trusts Lee Kang-in.
In the end, it was reported that PSG is trying to sell Lee Kang-in, who has become useless in the team, in the summer transfer market. Lee Kang-in is also considering leaving PSG to get more chances to play.
PSG is likely to send Lee Kang-in immediately if the transfer fee is right. It's because there's nothing to be desired. There are also many players who are better than Lee Kang-in. It may be a better decision-making to sell Lee Kang-in, whose stock price is rising, at a high price.
PSG brought Lee Kang-in for 22 million euros (about 34.6 billion won) in 2023. If any team bids about 30 million euros (about 47.2 billion won), PSG is likely to sign an OK sign for Lee Kang-in's permanent transfer immediately. Even if PSG throws it away, Lee Kang-in can create more opportunities. Not only Manchester United but also Arsenal are aiming for Lee Kang-in. You just have to make a bigger name in the new environment.
