The atmosphere in the transfer market surrounding Lee Kang-in (25) of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is unusual. While discussing the renewal of the contract with the club, on the other hand, the possibility of leaving the team this summer cannot be ruled out.

"PSG is still discussing Lee Kang-in's future, but the possibility of a summer transfer is also open," the soccer media Tribuna reported on the 7th (Korea Standard Time).

Lee Kang-in, who left Mallorca, Spain, to join PSG in 2023, is under contract until 2028. However, taking into account local reports, Lee Kang-in's future seems uncertain as his position has been shaken due to limited playing time this season.

The media said, "Lee Kang-in is considering his next move. In particular, he is closely reviewing his role in important games, he said. "Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and Saudi Arabian clubs are showing interest in Lee Kang-in." He explained, "There is a situation where rumors of a transfer continue to be discussed."

Even "Tribuna" said, "PSG is open to Lee Kang-in's transfer offer," but added, "However, PSG will only allow the transfer when the appropriate amount and plans are made to replace Lee Kang-in."

Rumors of Lee Kang-in's transfer have already spread throughout Europe. Even European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano started the fire by directly mentioning the possibility of Lee Kang-in's transfer. Romano said on his YouTube channel on the 6th, "One of the people Atletico Madrid should keep an eye on is Lee Kang-in," adding, "Lee Kang-in is currently in a special situation within PSG. Not only Atletico, but also several Premier League (EPL) clubs are keeping an eye on him on the recruitment list.

In particular, Atletico is making every effort to recruit Lee Kang-in. This is because club legend Antoine Griezmann has to fill the gap created by confirming his recent transfer to Orlando City in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS).

Spain is also paying attention to the possibility of Lee Kang-in's return to La Liga every day. "Lee Kang-in has fully adapted to the La Liga stage through Valencia and Mallorca in the past," Spanish media "Pichahes" said. "Lee Kang-in is a decisive factor and the best card to show fantastic teamwork with Julián Álvarez for Atletico, which needs immediate reinforcement after Griezmann's departure."

Currently, Lee Kang-in's ransom is expected to range from a minimum of 30 million euros (about 52 billion won) to a maximum of 50 million euros (about 86.7 billion won). According to local leading magazine Marca, PSG is in a position to approve the sale if an appropriate proposal and replacement recruitment plan are established. General manager Matteu Alemani, who had already tried to recruit in January, was found to have been working on Lee Kang-in for a long time.

This season, Lee Kang-in is not a clear starter under Luis Enrique, but he has proven his class by playing as an important rotation resource. "Tribuna" added, "Not only European clubs, including Spain, but also Middle Eastern clubs with huge funds are showing interest in Lee Kang-in."
