'We are preparing for a large-scale move during the upcoming winter transfer market.'

The atmosphere of Aston Villa in the English Premier League (EPL) is unusual. It's clear that it's not just a 'stabbing' level. Aston Villa want to get Lee Kang-in out of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Local media, which are well aware of internal news, reported on Aston Villa's move to recruit Lee Kang-in.

British media, including Birmingham World, are moving to recruit Lee Kang-in during the winter transfer market on the 11th (Korea time). Lee Kang-in, who is struggling to become a starting player at PSG, is looking forward to securing a steady opportunity to play in Aston Villa.




Aston Villa were extremely sparing in the transfer window last summer. Basically, the financial situation was poor and it was tied to the EPL's Profitability and Sustainability Regulations (PSR).

However, Kadao can spend some money in the winter transfer market. The need for more reliable power reinforcement is being discussed as it has recently been on the rise with four consecutive wins.

In particular, Unai Emery's influence has grown. Roberto Olave, the new general manager, is also unable to turn a blind eye to the demands of Emery, who has strengthened his voice due to his recent winning streak. Manager Emery wants offensive resources that can utilize various positions in the winter transfer market, but it fits perfectly with Lee Kang-in.

In this regard, Birmingham local media Birmingham Live is likely to prefer Manager Emery because of Lee Kang-in's versatile ability and wide utilization. Lee Kang-in predicted that he can go out not only from the left and right sides but also from the center.

Putting this together, it is clear that Aston Villa certainly want Lee Kang-in to be recruited at this point. If Lee Kang-in maintains a good form at PSG while avoiding injury issues before the winter transfer market, it is highly likely to emerge as a hot seller in the winter transfer market.

Interest in Lee Kang-in was already hot in the transfer market last summer and the transfer market in January before that. Love calls poured in not only from EPL clubs but also from Italy's Serie A and Spain's Primera Liga, which can be called Lee Kang-in's 'hometown'.

However, Lee Kang-in remained at PSG. It was not arbitrary, but rather the will of PSG 'Forced Remain'. Lee Kang-in strongly wants to transfer to a team that can consistently play ahead of the 2026 North American World Cup.

However, it is not easy to transfer because it is under contract with PSG until 2028. PSG once wrapped Lee Kang-in as the 'No. 1 seller', but when the recruitment proposal came out, it locked down to the 'No-Sale Target'.

In the process, a tightrope bridge seems to have spread between the club and head coach Luis Enrique. The club says it may sell Lee Kang-in if an appropriate amount of money is offered, but it is interpreted that Enrique is opposed to Lee Kang-in's various utilization every time.

Still, coach Enrique does not use Lee Kang-in as his main player at all. It is highly likely that the remaining contract period will be completed, considering it thoroughly 'useful consumables'. After all, there is no future for Lee Kang-in at PSG. It only consumes the prime time. Attention is focusing on whether Lee Kang-in will be able to escape to Aston Villa through PSG's opposition.
