Immediately after the appointment of a new manager, Lee Kang-in (22) is expected to announce an official move to PSG soon.
France’s ‘Le Parisien’ said on the 26th (Korean time), “Director Christophe Galtier leaves and manager Luis Enrique becomes the new manager of PSG. PSG left only negotiations with manager Enrique on details. An official announcement will be made as early as Wednesday thing,” he said. According to the media, the contract period is a basic two-year extension option for one year.
ESPN’s Spanish edition also predicted that the news of Enrique’s move to PSG was strong, and that the recruitment process for Lee Kang-in would soon be completed. The media said, “PSG is still negotiating with Lee Kang-in. In addition, Luca Hernandez (Bayern Munich) and Bernardo Silva (Man City) are also showing interest.” He emphasized, “The signing of striker Marco Asensio (Real Madrid), midfielder Manuel Ugarte (Sporting) and defender Milan Skriniar (Inter Milan) have already been completed.”

Bruno Salomon of France’s ‘Bleu Paris’, who delivers PSG news, recently explained, “Lee Kang-in’s recruitment negotiations are over, but PSG is about to announce the appointment of a new manager. There will be an official announcement about the new players afterwards.”
Fans were puzzled when there was no official announcement of Lee Kang-in’s transfer recently. Previously, European transfer market expert Fabricio Romano announced Lee Kang-in’s imminent move to PSG, saying, “Lee Kang-in and PSG have completed a verbal agreement on a long-term contract and have also conducted medical tests. Negotiations are at the final stage.” Furthermore, he wrote ‘Here we go soon’, which means that the transfer announcement will happen soon.
The reason the official announcement is delayed is because Mallorca and PSG are fighting a tug-of-war over transfer fees at the end of negotiations. According to French media ‘Le Parisien’, PSG is in a position that it cannot pay more than 20 million euros (about 28.5 billion won), but Mallorca wants to receive 22 million euros (about 31.4 billion won). Mallorca seems to have raised the transfer fee in consideration of the money it has to give to Valencia, Lee Kang-in’s former team. According to FIFA regulations related to chronological contributions, Mallorca must hand over a certain amount to Valencia, which has raised Lee Kang-in since his youth.

It is an atmosphere where Lee Kang-in is at the center. PSG’s offensive line reorganization is more urgent than ever. ‘Football Emperor’ Lionel Messi left for Inter Miami of the US Major League Soccer (MLS) without exercising his contract extension option. Neymar, whose performance has been insignificant due to injury, is strongly linked to English Premier League (EPL) teams such as Chelsea and Manchester United and clubs in Saudi Arabia.
Lee Kang-in, who has a creative style, is expected to breathe new life into PSG’s offense. Lee Kang-in’s offensive ability, which does not cover the flanks and center, can be a good option for coach Enrique. Coach Enrique is expected to place Lee Kang-in as a side striker or second line striker.

Mbappe has played as a front two-top with Messi this season or as a side striker when Messi is at the forefront. It is possible to coexist with Mbappe as Lee Kang-in digests both the side and second line seats. You can fully picture Lee Kang-in making a creative pass to Mbappe in the front line in the second line, or playing together on the left and right sides.
Lee Kang-in’s condition, which is preparing for the new season soon, is ‘clear’. Lee Kang-in was selected for the Korean national soccer team and played in both A-match friendly matches in June. Korea lost to Peru and drew with El Salvador, but failed to win, but Lee Kang-in’s performance stood out. Lee Kang-in, who started in both games, showed sharp movements and creative passes from the side and center. He evoked cheers from the crowd with his unique off-pressure ability and elegant dribbling. Lee Kang-in, who led Korea’s attack on behalf of Son Heung-min, who was recovering from a sports hernia surgery, made a mark on coach Jurgen Klinsmann by performing as an MVP in both games.
