The possibility of Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) staying has increased.
French media Lekif said on the 15th (Korea time) 'Lee Kang-in and Gonzalo Hamus, who were frequently discussed in the summer transfer market, are expected to remain at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this season. 'An excellent start to the UEFA Super Cup will provide an opportunity to gain ground at PSG,' the report said.
PSG, led by head coach Luis Enrique, won the trophy after a penalty shootout in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup final against Tottenham (England) at Blue Energy Stadium in Udine, Italy, on the 14th. PSG, which won its first European Champions League (UCL) championship last season, also topped the Super Cup.
Lee Kang-in was at the center of the victory. PSG was pushed back 0-2 at one point on the day. Coach Enrique made the change by using the replacement card. It hit the mark. Lee Kang-in stepped on the ground in the 23rd minute of the second half instead of Warren Zaire Emery. He scored a comeback goal in the 40th minute of the second half to mark the beginning of a big turnaround. Lee Kang-in caught the ball given by Vitinya from the left side of the penalty arc and scored with a powerful left-footed shot like lightning. PSG brought the game back to square one 2-2 with Hamus' score in second-half stoppage time. The game led to a penalty shootout. For PSG, Hamus, Usman Dembele, Lee Kang-in and Nuno Mendes successively kicked. Tottenham, on the other hand, missed two. PSG won 4-3.

As a result, Lee Kang-in won the French League 1, the Coupe de France (France Cup), and the Trope de Champion (France Super Cup) for the second consecutive time from the 2023-2024 season. In the 2024-2025 season, he also won the UCL trophy and recorded four gold medals. In addition, he won the UEAF Super Cup.
Above all, Lee Kang-in showed particularly strong performance on the 'big stage'. He led his team to the top in the Super Cup in January 2024, scoring the winning goal. He also won the MVP of the tournament. Lee Kang-in flashed 'golden left foot' as soon as the team was in crisis again this time. Lee Kang-in scored on the day, setting a record of "1st record" for two consecutive seasons. He scored in the opening game of the league 1 in 2024-2025 season. It was the first goal of the entire Ligue 1 season. Lee Kang-in scored PSG's first official goal again this time.
Lee Kang-in is a hot issue in the transfer market this summer. It has been reported that he will receive love calls from Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle (England), Atletico Madrid (Spain), and Napoli (Italy). He didn't look right in the second half of last season. There is a possibility that Lee Kang-in could leave PSG. However, rumors of a transfer soon subsided, and eventually became a PSG player.
