Lee Kang-in is having a difficult time with his position shaking within PSG starting in the winter transfer market in January. After Khvitsa Kvartshelia joined, the offense is effectively fixed as Khvitsa, Bradley Barcola and Usman Dembele. Vitinha and João Neves are also the main players in the midfield, while Lee Kang-in, Warren Zairemeri and Fabian Lewis are competing for one spot. Since his recent injury, Enrique has ruled out Lee Kang-in from the starting lineup, and Lee Kang-in's appearance in important games, including European Champions League games, has been sharply reduced.
Rumors of a transfer emerged along with a shaky position. France's Score France says the PSG is likely to break up in the summer with some players who have been underperforming this season, including Lee Kang-in. Despite coach Luis Enrique's praise, Lee Kang-in can leave the team. Enrique is having trouble starting him. He also shows good performances at times, but Lee Kang-in is not completely convincing himself. Coach Enrique also said he allowed Lee Kang-in to transfer.

The English Premier League (EPL) was initially mentioned as a strong destination for Lee Kang-in. Some French media said they are already watching Lee Kang-in's situation in the English Premier League(EPL) and added that Crystal Palace wants to recruit Lee Kang-in, but faced strong competition. Manchester United, with more capital than Palace, are in the race. Coach Huveng Amorim highly values Lee Kang-in and is confident that Lee Kang-in in tactics can contribute. The two clubs also claimed that Lee Kang-in is expected to be well-meaning.
Saudi Arabia also showed strong interest. Spain's Pichahes says 'Lee Kang-in has no place at PSG. His talent is undeniable, but he lacks opportunity. The player began to consider alternatives other than PSG. An option that I've been paying attention to recently is the Saudi transfer. The growth of the Saudi league has attracted the attention of several players, and Lee Kang-in is not out of this trend. Along with the economic and sporting conditions of the project, the possibility of taking on a pivotal role could have implications.'

In this situation, Turkiye is also interested, and more attention will be paid to Lee Kang-in's future. In particular, Fenerbahce coach Jose Mourinho has consistently shown his affection for Korean players. When he was the Tottenham manager, he showed strong affection for Son Heung-min and even tried to recruit Kim Min-jae. If Mourinho meets Lee Kang-in, expectations are high for what synergy he will show. However, even if Lee Kang-in chooses to transfer, it is unclear whether he will head to the Turkiye stage from PSG.
Meanwhile, there have also been predictions that PSG could push for a renewal despite Lee Kang-in's shaky position. France's Putsur7 is expected to begin negotiations with Lee Kang-in on renewing his contract if he remains at PSG next season. PSG leaders want to offer Lee Kang-in a contract extension to keep him on the line, it said.
Along with Lee Kang-in's future, a lot of interest is emerging. Whether Mourinho and Lee Kang-in can meet is also expected to receive great attention in the transfer market this summer.
