Is it a joke or a serious story. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Luis Enrique expressed his willingness to give Lee Kang-in a chance.

France's Sport reported on the 14th (Korea time) 'Enrique mocked the reporter'

Sport said 'Enrique appeared injured at the press conference, but it was a humorous conversation rather than his health that drew attention. He answered the question of whether to use Lee Kang-in with humor, defended the player, and showed his sense of humor. Coach Enrique sent trust to Lee Kang-in, and he seems confident that he can shine under Enrique.

Coach Enrique attended a pre-press conference ahead of the league's first round match against Lance in the 2025-2026 season on the 15th. He was asked about Lee Kang-in at the press conference. Does a reporter plan to put Lewis, Kangin in front of the defender again in the near future?When asked ", Enrique said "Lewis? Is he a new player. I don't know.," he said in a witty reply. Then "Lee Kang-in, of course, will have a chance to play. He's a great player, and I'm happy with him," he said, expressing trust in Lee Kang-in.

Lee Kang-in is having a difficult time this season. Lee Kang-in, who moved to PSG ahead of the 2023-2024 season, has established himself as a main player in the trust of coach Enrique in the first season. The start of the 2024-2025 season was no different. Lee Kang-in's chances have steadily come, and Lee Kang-in continued to play.

It was the winter transfer market in January 2025 that shook its position. PSG set up a new lineup after courtship, embracing Hvicha. Khvicha, Usman Dembele, Bradley Barcola, and Desiree Doue, João Neves and Vitinha were the solid starters in the midfield. Coach Enrique, who used to mainly use the rotation, also changed his attitude, and Lee Kang-in was excluded from major games.

This summer, Lee Kang-in even thought about moving. I thought about it while looking at several options, including the English Premier League (EPL). Actual proposals were also followed. France's L'Equipe said 'Lee Kang-in wants to increase his playing time, whether at PSG or other clubs. Nottingham offered around 30 million euros excluding bonuses to recruit Lee Kang-in, it said. Nottingham's proposal is reportedly worth 60 million euros (about 97 billion won) including bonuses. However, PSG insisted on staying, and the transfer was not made.

In this situation, more attention is being paid to whether Coach Enrique will choose Lee Kang-in as a candidate to fill the void created by the departure of key players. Enrique has directly mentioned the opportunity to play, but he has not given Lee Kang-in much time. Depending on the choice, speculation may increase further on Lee Kang-in's future course of action.

Meanwhile, some French media have argued that PSG prospects may receive opportunities instead of Lee Kang-in. France's L'Equipe explained, `It may be fortunate that Lee Kang-in did not leave the right-handed striker position, but Ibrahim Mbaye is the player who can enjoy this opportunity the most as he is being used ahead of Lee Kang-in throughout this summer.' Mbaye, a 17-year-old prospect, is likely to receive the opportunity instead of Lee Kang-in.
