The end of the transfer market is just around the corner, and Lee Kang-in's future will not be predicted until the end.
France's Le10 Sport scored in the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham on the 26th (Korea time) and Lee Kang-in, who also played in the match between Nantes and Ange under Luis Enrique, is still a member of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). However, it is unclear whether he will be a PSG player even on September 1, the deadline of the transfer market. PSG is not expected to hold him if he is offered the amount he wants, it reported.
The media said 'There is a high possibility that a transfer will occur from PSG by the deadline of the transfer market. It's not just players outside of power who can leave. Currently, some eyes are also on Lee Kang-in. Lee Kang-in, who is signed until 2028, is already getting the attention of the clubs, and if these clubs meet the conditions PSG wants, Lee will likely leave the team, it added.
Le10 Sport reported based on comments made by journalist Fabrice Hawkins, who works for leading French media outlet RMC Sports and is very knowledgeable about PSG's internal information. According to the media, reporter Hawkins "Lee Kang-in is currently taking offers. Even today, if a club appears that offers the amount PSG wants, it will let him go, although it has not revealed exactly how much it wants. If Lee Kang-in agrees with the club, PSG will not hold onto him. PSG explained that it would break up with Lee Kang-in if he made a good offer.
Other clubs' interest in Lee Kang-in existed from the beginning of the transfer market. Recently, in L'Equipe, another influential French media, Lee Kang-in recently began to re-examine his future. He wants more playing time and attention during this season leading up to the World Cup. Several Premier League (EPL) clubs have already expressed interest. Naples has also shown interest,' it reported.
Still, the problem is the high transfer fee demanded by PSG. Reporter Hawkins did not disclose the amount PSG wanted, but French media Le Parisien maintained a firm stance last week, demanding 40 million to 50 million euros (about 64.9 billion to 81.2 billion won) despite inquiries from numerous clubs. This is actually a condition that makes Lee Kang-in impossible to sell, and predicted that it would be difficult for Lee Kang-in to leave because PSG wants too high a transfer fee.
If PSG does not lower the required amount, it will be more burdensome for EPL clubs to recruit Lee Kang-in. It is the richest league in Europe, but the amount equivalent to 50 million euros is because even big clubs pay only when they recruit key players. Clubs below the middle level rarely invest more than 50 million euros in one player.
The interest of Korean fans is whether Tottenham will recruit Lee Kang-in. Recently, a Duncan Castle reporter said on English Football Transfer that `The other player Tottenham has definitely contacted is Lee Kang-in of PSG. This is a conversation that has continued since the beginning of the summer, and I understand that he asked how much it would cost to recruit him, who was a bench resource at PSG. PSG are willing to keep him, but if the player himself receives an attractive offer and the transfer fee is appropriate, they may also consider selling him on the condition of time to recruit a replacement"It was once said.
