Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has begun a move to continue its companionship with Lee Kang-in (25) for a longer time. At one point, rumors of a return to La Liga were circulating, but it seems to be facing a phase of "recontracting" amid strong trust from head coach Luis Enrique.

"Parifans," which delivers PSG news, said on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time), "PSG is considering extending Lee Kang-in's contract."

Lee Kang-in, who left Mallorca to enter PSG in July 2023, has an existing contract period of June 2028. Even though the contract period is more than two years away, PSG's tinkering with the renewal card suggests that Lee Kang-in's status in the team has risen that much.

In particular, in the winter transfer market, La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid once again tried to recruit Lee Kang-in, but failed. According to reports, Enrique closed the transfer door himself. The media explained, "Coach Enrique did not want to lose resources ready to respond at any time during the season whenever he was called."

Lee Kang-in is also known to have struggled with his future. France's "L'Equipe" said, "Last summer, Lee Kang-in asked himself questions about his position and future in his team, and he was also shaken by the interest of La Liga clubs."

According to the media, Atletico Madrid offered a "lease with an optional full transfer option" in confidence that it could persuade Lee Kang-in. However, Atletico's proposal, which lacked funds, failed to meet PSG boardzin's expectations, and the negotiations eventually collapsed.

Currently, there is no specific answer to the renewal of the contract between PSG and Lee Kang-in. The media predicted, "The next few months will be a decisive turning point for Lee Kang-in's career."

Currently, Lee Kang-in is classified as a solid rotation resource and key power within the team. However, in the "big matches" such as the UEFA Champions League (UCL), it is evaluated that it has not reached the stage of being selected as a main player. Local media analyzed, "Whether Lee Kang-in can take a leap forward from his role as a candidate for the 'big match' will be a key factor in the renewal and future position."

It remains to be seen whether Lee Kang-in, who is in his third season in Paris, will sign a long-term renewal as the next "King of Paris" or take on a new challenge.

Meanwhile, Lee Kang-in helped Bradley Barcola's winning goal in the 24th round of the "2025-2026 Season France League 1" against Le Havre at Stade Oscean in Le Havre, France, on the 1st.

Lee Kang-in, who started as a right-sided striker in the 4-3-3 formation, led PSG's attack with a sharp kick and pass and finally scored help in the 37th minute of the first half.

As a result, Lee Kang-in increased his offensive point for the season to 3 goals and 4 assists (2 goals and 3 assists in the regular league, 1 goal in the Super Cup, 1 assist in the Champions League). This is the first offensive point he posted in three games since his goal against Marseille on the 9th of last month. He also recorded help in eight games after the match against Mes on December 14 last year.
