Lee Kang-in is once again connected to Manchester United.
Italy's Tutto Mercato Webb said on the 6th (Korea time) "Lee Kang-in is one of the names that could ignite the European transfer market this winter." This is because Lee Kang-in played 24 games in Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) this season and recorded six goals and two assists, which were witnessed several times through scouts of two English Premier League (EPL) clubs"He reported Lee Kang-in's transfer rumors.
Surprisingly, the team to which Lee Kang-in was connected was Manchester United. The media said "This is because Manchester United requested information about Lee Kang-in and will try to transfer over the next few days. But it is necessary to understand whether PSG will sell him or not. The first contact has already been made, and the valuation is about 40 million euros (about 61 billion won). It's an amount that can change if there's competition, he explained. Not only Manchester United but Newcastle also requested information about Lee Kang-in.
This is not the first time Manchester United is aiming for Lee Kang-in. Manchester United was also there when Lee Kang-in caught the eye of big clubs as he played very well in Mallorca. "Many clubs, including Atletico Madrid, are showing interest in Lee Kang-in," said Matteo Moreto, a reporter in Lelebo, Spain at the time. EPL clubs are also praising Lee Kang-in's ability. Manchester United inquired about recruiting Lee Kang-in. Manchester United have a full-fledged approach after settling the club situation" he once said.
Manchester United were interested, but did not offer it directly. The final club with Lee Kang-in was PSG. Even after moving to PSG, Lee Kang-in is showing rapid growth. He successfully settled for PSG as he exchanged with the main player in the first season. He also showed very outstanding performances in the Korean national team, proving that he is the best talent in Korea after Son Heung-min.
Lee Kang-in is showing more advanced abilities in the 2024-2025 season. He is running toward a career high, taking on various roles and securing more opportunities to play than last season. Lee Kang-in, who can play Pulse Nine, right winger, attacking midfielder, and central midfielder, is favored by PSG coach Luis Enrique.
It is true that Manchester United needs to recruit second-line resources. Currently, Bruno Fernandes and Ahmad Diallo are the only reliable second-line resources. Considering that Bruno is being overworked, you can imagine recruiting Lee Kang-in and playing with Bruno. Since Lee Kang-in is capable of even central midfielders, he can join the midfield in a situation where Christian Eriksen and Casemiro are likely to leave.
However, what is worrisome is the information power of Tutto Mercat Web. This is because as the winter transfer market begins, a large amount of information on the level of 'Chirashi' is being reported. Whether Manchester United is still moving for Lee Kang-in should wait for reports from leading reporters.
