The possibility of Lee Kang-in, a rising star in Korean soccer, to advance to the Premier League has resurfaced.
Amid the recent sharp decline in his position in Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), it has been confirmed that agent Lee Kang-in has contacted multiple Premier League clubs in England. Among them, Manchester United's name has emerged, drawing keen attention.
"Lee Kang-in's agent Javier Garrido visited England about two weeks ago and had meetings with several Premier League clubs," Spanish media Eldes Marque said on the 1st (Korea Standard Time).
Garrido is in charge of former and current La Liga players such as Lee Kang-in, Abde Ezzaljuli (Real Betis), Harvey Guerra (Valencia), Iñaki Peña (Barcelona), and Jesus Portea (Real Madrid). Garrido reportedly looked into the possibility of Guerra's transfer at the meeting and discussed Lee Kang-in.
Among the clubs Garrido visited, Manchester United is the most frequently mentioned club in the rumor of recruiting Lee Kang-in.
Matteo Moreto, a reporter from Spain's leading media outlet Lelebo, said last month, "Garido has contacted several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Everton," hinting at Lee Kang-in's possible transfer in the summer.
It was a simple possibility, but the transfer rumor became even more controversial in that Moreto was the most accurate and quick person to deliver the news related to the Lee Kang-in transfer rumor.
Moreto is well known to fans as he dealt with related news when Lee Kang-in, who played for Spain's Mallorca in 2023, was connected to Atletico Madrid.
Manchester United was one of the clubs that put Lee Kang-in on the recruitment list last winter. British media Give Me Sports reported at the time that "Manchester United is watching some Asian market-friendly resources, including Lee Kang-in, and is considering Lee Kang-in as a strong candidate to reinforce the offense."
It was also known that scouts were dispatched to the stadium to see Lee Kang-in in person.
Italy's Tutomercato reported, "Manchester United and Newcastle United are interested in recruiting Lee Kang-in, and they actually visited PSG Stadium to check Lee Kang-in's performance." Media predicted that Lee Kang-in's transfer fee will reach about 40 million euros (about 64.1 billion won).
Behind the reigniting rumors of Lee Kang-in's transfer is the recent sharp decline in playing time within PSG.
Lee Kang-in, who had established himself as a rotation member until the beginning of the season, has recently been on the replacement list more and more. His position has actually narrowed, falling behind promising resources such as Usman Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Khvicha Kvaratshelia and Desiree Doue.
In fact, he sat on the bench in both the UEFA Champions League matches and the League 1 matches held in February and March, and played for 15 to 30 minutes as a substitute for three matches. In particular, he suffered a shocking situation in which he missed the first round of the Champions League round of 16, against Liverpool, which was considered the most important game.
After that, he started once in the league, but despite the team's victory, Lee Kang-in was replaced in the second half without an offensive point. It has been proven that he has become a perfect candidate as he has been replaced again in the 35th minute of the second half and played for only 15 minutes until extra time in a rivalry match against Olainfik Marseille on the 17th. 바카라사이트
