Lee Kang-in, who drew attention due to transfer rumors, is drawing attention from pre-season vacation to returning to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Lee Kang-in has recently received great attention due to rumors of a transfer. Starting with Naples, Newcastle and anonymous English Premier League (EPL) clubs, there are many teams that want Lee Kang-in.

However, Lee Kang-in is focusing on vacation and returning to PSG despite his interest. PSG shared a video showing Lee Kang-in's return to the club on the club's official SNS on the 23rd (Korea time). Lee Kang-in even went through a physical examination before entering preseason training at PSG's internal training grounds and facilities.

Lee Kang-in wore a mesh suit with a unique design and conducted the inspection, and later prepared to join PSG training with various inspections. After the examination, he entered the indoor training ground and began to build his body quickly. Lee Kang-in also rode an indoor bicycle at the training site, relaxed his muscles, and did not miss preparation work for training.

Earlier, Lee Kang-in also revealed his appearance at the vacation spot on his personal SNS. Initially, Lee Kang-in was expected to return to PSG, but the timing of his recent return was delayed and he spent his personal schedule conducting more training in Mallorca, Spain.

Lee Kang-in also showed him enjoying swimming with muscular abs and relaxing at a restaurant in Mallorca, and a video released later showed him focusing on exercising at the Mallorca training ground. In the scene, Lee Kang-in focused on running and training with his unique thick thighs and solid muscular body. Lee Kang-in initially reportedly sought a private mansion to conduct training every offseason in Mallorca, but it seems that he also conducted training before returning to PSG. When Lee Kang-in posted his training, senior national team members Son Joon-ho and Ki Sung-yueng reacted with hearts and comments, and Neymar drew attention by commenting 'Hijo (son)'.

However, there were concerns about this as the return to training was delayed before the release of the return video. Lee Kang-in did not appear at PSG training on the originally scheduled date, and he was worried that the transfer rumor was true. One fan posted on social media of Benjamin Quares from France 'Le Parisien'Why didn't Lee Kang-in participate in morning training?The reporter left a question saying 'Lee Kang-in is scheduled to return next Monday' and quelled concerns by announcing his return on the 22nd.

Meanwhile, despite his return to PSG, Lee Kang-in is expected to continue to receive great attention as a transfer rumor until the transfer market closes. There is constant news about teams that want Lee Kang-in.

It started with Serie A Napoli, not the EPL. After Kylian Mbappe's departure, speculation has emerged that Lee Kang-in's situation could also change depending on PSG's position to reinforce its offense. PSG, which has to fill Mbappe's vacancy, is considering Victor Osimhen as a candidate, and it has been argued that it could hand over an offer that includes Lee Kang-in to lower Osimhen's transfer fee.

Italian leading journalist Gianluca DiMarzio said on the 16th that Victor Osimhen's agent was in Paris. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) want to bring Osimhen, including the player. Currently, the names mentioned are Carlos Soler, Nordi Mukiele, and Lee Kang-in. Napoli are only interested in Lee Kang-in.

European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also said, `PSG and Napoli's Victor Osimhen transfer negotiations have not made progress since the recent talks. PSG refused to include Lee Kang-in in the deal, and will not trigger a buyout as Napoli wanted. No deal is made under these conditions,' he said, referring to Napoli's interest.

Lee Kang-in drew much attention with the news that a large proposal had arrived from EPL. France's Foot Mercato said 'EPL club offered €70 million (about KRW 100 billion) for Lee Kang-in's case'PSG received a significant offer for Lee Kang-in. A huge offer has arrived for PSG, which wants to earn transfer fees to replace Mbappe. PSG want to protect Lee Kang-in. He has already rejected the EPL club's offer and wants to keep Lee Kang-in. Lee Kang-in is also very good at PSG, and he doesn't want to leave PSG for the time being. Therefore, Lee Kang-in will remain at PSG in the 2024-2025 season, he said.

Rumors of a move to Newcastle have emerged since then. Announcing the news of Newcastle 'McPhee Media' on the 16th, Newcastle officially inquired about Lee Kang-in in the past 24 hours'Newcastle's new director Paul Mitchell pointed out Lee Kang-in as his dream goal in the transfer market. Lee Kang-in, who was the youngest South Korean to play in Europe in 2019, plays both wings and a central midfielder, and this ability has come as a big draw for Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and director Mitchell.

Several proposals have been made, but PSG is likely to reject all of them and plans to retain Lee Kang-in until the next season. Lee Kang-in also returned to PSG regardless of various transfer rumors and began a full-fledged pre-season schedule. PSG was originally scheduled to hold a pre-season tour in China, but it is reported that it will not tour abroad this summer due to the schedule being disrupted.
