There is a possibility that Lee Kang-in will enter the English Premier League (EPL), where Son Heung-min left.

Spain's Marca reported on the 5th (Korea time) 'Lee Kang-in does not rule out the possibility of leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).'

Lee Kang-in has been steadily raising the possibility of leaving PSG since the 2024-2025 season. It was being pushed out of the team plan little by little. Lee Kang-in, who had established himself as a clear main player under Luis Enrique until last season, has changed since the winter transfer market in January. After Khvicha Kvaratshelia joined PSG, Enrique began operating a fixed starting lineup.

It was the opposite of how he used several players, including Lee Kang-in, in turns until the beginning of this season. Khvicha, Usman Dembele, Bradley Barcola, and Desiree Doue, João Neves and Vitinha were the main starters in the midfield. Lee Kang-in, who was pushed back from the competition, did not have many opportunities. There was no time to play in the final of the European Champions League or Cup, and he was only able to start in some games where the main players took a break.

Things have not changed until summer, and interest in Lee Kang-in has steadily emerged. Saudi Arabia and several clubs have already shown interest, starting with the English Premier League (EPL). In this situation, EPL's interest has emerged again, drawing attention to Lee Kang-in's possibility of entering the English stage.

Marca says 'Lee Kang-in's future looks far from PSG. Lee Kang-in wants to play more as a starter and does not rule out securing more playing time for other European teams apart from PSG. Now he wants to explore the EPL and Serie A. Manchester United and Napoli have expressed their interest and are actively seeking to sign him in person.




This is not the first time Manchester United has shown interest in Lee Kang-in. In April, Manchester United was also in the race. Some French media have expressed Manchester United's interest in Lee Kang-in, saying, 'Hubeng Amorim highly values Lee Kang-in and is confident that Lee Kang-in can contribute in tactics.

Manchester United is preparing for a full-fledged Hoobeng Amorim system by recruiting offensive resources such as Brian Mbomo and Matheus Cunha this summer. If Lee Kang-in also joins Manchester United, he may adapt as a new member of the Amorim system and lead Manchester United's rebound.

However, in addition to Manchester United, other European clubs are also interested in Lee Kang-in, so it seems that the situation will be more closely watched whether the trend will be successful or whether it will head to other leagues. Attention is also focusing on whether Lee Kang-in, the EPL where Son Heung-min left, can appear as a new star.
