Will he stay in Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain's first tier reporter answered the rumor of Lee Kang-in's transfer. Lee Kang-in has recently emerged as a hot potato in the transfer market. English Premier League (EPL) big clubs continue to court.
Italy's Tuto Mercato said on the 6th (Korea time) that `the two EPL clubs observed Lee Kang-in several times.' The two clubs mentioned by Tutomercato are Manchester United and Newcastle. Tutomercato said 'Manchester United and Newcastle have requested information, and will try to move in the coming days. I need to know if PSG is willing to sell him. The first contact has already been made, and the valuation is 40 million euros (about 60 billion won). If negotiations begin, the amount could change,' he said.

The Athletic reported on the 7th that `Lee Kang-in is one of the players Arsenal are discussing recruiting in the winter transfer market.' James McNicholas, who broke the report, is well known as a journalist with high public confidence in the news of Arsenal, drawing more attention.
Lee Kang-in left Mallorca in the summer of 2023 and wore a Paris Saint-Germain uniform. At that time, the transfer fee was 22 million euros. It quickly settled down in Lee Kang-in's team. It played an important role commercially as well as in performance. Lee Kang-in is not a sure starter, but he plays various roles whenever necessary and is a key player for Paris Saint-Germain. Lee Kang-in is trusted by head coach Luis Enrique, playing not only left and right wings, but also central attacking midfielders, central midfielders, and zero-top. Lee Kang-in has already lifted four trophies since his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

Of course, Paris Saint-Germain has no intention of letting Lee Kang-in go easily. The Athletic said 'It will require an offer of at least 44 million euros to recruit Lee Kang-in. Paris Saint-Germain are not a club that needs money. You can also ask for a higher amount. Manchester United, Newcastle and Arsenal are also financially decent teams, but they are also burdensome amounts.
This is not the first time EPL's love call to Lee Kang-in. Already last summer, there were reports that an anonymous EPL team wanted Lee Kang-in. Newcastle was one of them. France's Foot Mercato reported that the EPL club offered a whopping 70 million euros to recruit Lee Kang-in. The authenticity was not hidden, but it was a report that showed how valuable Lee Kang-in was. Paris Saint-Germain also made it clear that they would not let go of Lee Kang-in.

Manchester United, Newcastle, and Arsenal all desperately need players of the same type as Lee Kang-in. Manchester United and Newcastle are suffering from a lack of creativity on the offensive side. Arsenal should reinforce the right flank with Bukayo Saka's injury.
However, for now, there is a high possibility that it will remain. Loic Tanji told France's leading newspaper L'Equipe that `Paris Saint-Germain has received inquiries from several clubs, but has no intention of breaking up with Lee Kang-in for the time being.' Tanji is considered a first tier reporter for Paris Saint-Germain. Considering Enrique's affection for Lee Kang-in so far, it may be a natural result.
