A very important player for Luis Enrique, Lee Kang-in has participated in all 24 PSG matches this season, but would curiously have desires elsewhere according to the latest reports from England.
Not necessarily expected in the starting lineup last Sunday during PSG/Monaco (1-0), Lee Kang-in was well established on the right wing of the Parisian attack during the Champions Trophy and had a good first period before being invisible in the second and being replaced by Bradley Barcola in the 67th minute.
If he is only the 10th playing time for PSG this season with 1366 minutes played on the clock, the South Korean international is however the only player to have participated in the club's 24 matches this season with Barcola, proof that Luis Enrique appreciates his versatility and places great trust in him.
While the winter transfer window generally concerns players who play little, Lee Kang-in is quite surprisingly included in the transfer rumors of the day. In a long file on the winter transfer window of Premier League clubs, the renowned English-speaking media The Athletic devotes a paragraph to the Parisian attacking midfielder.
Lee open to leaving PSG, Arsenal interested?
The English media thus affirms that Lee Kang-in is considering his options at PSG and is open to a new challenge, even if he plays regularly under the orders of Luis Enrique. The Athletic adds that Arsenal, who are looking for a winger this winter, could be interested in him, but only if PSG were willing to loan him with an option to buy.
As it stands, this seems unlikely. Already because PSG appreciates Lee Kang-in, as much for his sporting as marketing contribution, and is not particularly considering selling him. And if this were to be the case in the future, The Athletic believes that PSG will not favor a loan and will instead seek to sell their player twice as much as they bought him from Mallorca in 2023 (€22 million). at the time).
Already the subject of some rumors last summer, a year after his arrival at the club, Lee Kang-in had been spared until then this winter and it will be interesting to see if his desires elsewhere are confirmed in other French media in the coming days. A departure this winter, to Arsenal or elsewhere, in any case seems unlikely at this stage.
