There is a lot of interest in the future of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker Lee Kang-in. The club, which won the UEFA Champions League twice and is currently second in the Premier League, sent a love call to Lee Kang-in.
British media Nottingham Forest News reported on the 13th (Korea time) that "Nottingham will compete with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. We will find some new players this month and sign a contract with a player with better skills than the player we currently have," adding, "Nottingham wants to recruit PSG star Lee Kang-in."
"This month, Nottingham plans to recruit Lee Kang-in. PSG has decided to break up with the 23-year-old player, and Premier League clubs are lining up to recruit Lee Kang-in," the media said. "Nottingham is not the only one in the competition to recruit Lee Kang-in. Manchester United, Newcastle, and Tottenham are all competing to recruit Lee Kang-in, and the versatile striker is falling in priority under the leadership of Luis Enrique."
It was also highlighted that Son Heung-min, who played and influenced the Premier League for nearly 10 years, praised Lee Kang-in.
"Lee has scored nine goals in 35 matches for the Korean national team. I spent a lot of time with Tottenham captain Son Heung-min during my career," the media said. "He said he has amazing talent for Lee Kang-in and is a player who can grow further."
He was also confident that Lee Kang-in's recruitment would be an interesting choice for the club.
The media said, "It will be interesting for Nottingham to recruit Lee Kang-in. When Lee Kang-in played for PSG this season, his performance was generally impressive," adding, "As several Premier League teams compete for Lee, it can be difficult to recruit him. Clubs such as Newcastle, Tottenham, and Manchester United offer considerable charm. It can be tricky for Nottingham."
It is true that Nottingham lags behind Newcastle, Tottenham and Manchester United in terms of their recent status. However, Nottingham is also a two-time winner of the European Cup, the predecessor of the UEFA Champions League, and has its own history in the U.K.
This season's performance is also the best among the three teams. As the team ranks third in the league with 12 wins, four draws and four losses in 20 matches, the team is on a high trajectory. If the team secures a win at the match against Liverpool, it can instantly rank second in the league. The team is only three points shorter than Liverpool, which showed strong performance this season. If the recent momentum continues to the end of the season, it can participate in the Champions League next season.
Newcastle, on the other hand, have won all five of their latest league games, but are ranked seventh in the league due to their lackluster performance in the early stages of the season, while Tottenham and Manchester United have been pushed out of the top 10. It is questionable whether they will even be able to participate in next season's European competition.
Nottingham, which beat Newcastle, Manchester United and Tottenham with performances, are considering strengthening their power to continue this momentum, and Lee Kang-in is mentioned as one of them.
Global media On the Minute also reported on the 12th that "Tottenham, Nottingham, Manchester United and Newcastle are eyeing Lee Kang-in. Manchester United and Newcastle are contacting PSG to see if they are willing to sell Lee Kang-in in the transfer market," adding, "Lee Kang-in is not the main player of Coach Enrique. PSG can sell Lee Kang-in this January."
Lee Kang-in has been showing good performance as a quasi-mainstream player with six goals and three assists at PSG this season. Last season, his first year as a member of the team, he did not receive a regular opportunity to play and recorded four goals and three assists, but this season, he proved his versatility by alternately playing the role of the side winger and the center fake No. 9 under the direction of Enrique.
Lee Kang-in, who played in all the games played by PSG this season, recently won his fourth trophy at PSG alone by lifting Trope de Champion.
It is also benefiting PSG in terms of marketing. The French media Newsday France reported, "Who has sold the most uniforms at PSG this season? Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaire Emery, Usman Dembele, and Vitinha form the top four players in Paris. Striker Lee Kang-in is especially popular in Asia." 먹튀검증
Therefore, some predicted that PSG will not sell Lee Kang-in and that it will need at least 60 billion won in transfer fees even if it sells Lee Kang-in. They want to receive at least twice the 22 million euros (33.1 billion won) that PSG spent when recruiting Lee Kang-in from Mallorca in 2023.
"PSG does not want to sell Lee Kang-in," said Roik Tanji, a reporter for L'Equipe, a leading French newspaper, who knows the news of PSG. "In order for PSG to put Lee Kang-in on the transfer list, it needs more than 50 million euros (about 75.2 billion won)," he said. "Lee Kang-in is also considering various interests of the club, but nothing more. At this point, I don't want to leave."
However, PSG suddenly changed its stance. If an appropriate offer is made, it is willing to give up Lee Kang-in.
"For Lee Kang-in, who scored six goals and three assists this season, PSG set a transfer fee of 35 million pounds (about 62.3 billion won)," Nottingham Forest News said, explaining that the conditions PSG wants are near 60 billion won.
If Lee Kang-in moves to Nottingham, he will be a member of the club with a long history within the Premier League. Expectations are also high that Lee Kang-in will be seen playing in the Champions League next season.
