Lee Kang-in (23, PSG) is receiving a lot of attention regarding his future. His exclusion from matches, below-expectation usage, and declining position within the team have led to increasing speculation about his potential transfer.

Foot01 reported on the 5th (Korea time) that "Lee Kang-in showed frustration after being repeatedly excluded from important matches. Currently, he has a strong desire to find a new team, while PSG is not showing a clear intention to retain him."

The issue lies with Lee Kang-in's transfer fee. According to reports, the amount set by PSG could pose a significant burden to multiple clubs. Therefore, Lee Kang-in's future is facing considerable variables.

Lee Kang-in showed some potential in Ligue 1 this season, but he was completely excluded from the UEFA Champions League (UCL). Notably, his appearance on the bench during the final without playing has become a symbolic moment.

The fan community Planet PSG reported that "PSG is planning to overhaul its squad ahead of the summer transfer window. Lee Kang-in is not classified as a key player in coach Luis Enrique's plans, and even the position of captain Marquinhos is being shaken."

Coach Enrique explained in a recent press conference the background of using Lee Kang-in as a defensive midfielder, stating, "That is not his ideally preferred position. However, not every player can be utilized as they wish. I hope he sees this as an opportunity for mental growth." However, Lee Kang-in has struggled in this position and has not been able to fully demonstrate his abilities.

Lequipe reported that PSG could consider Lee Kang-in's transfer if reasonable conditions are presented.

Live Foot disclosed that "PSG is already in search of a replacement for Lee Kang-in." In fact, Lee Kang-in recently deleted PSG-related information from his social media, hinting at a possibility of transfer.

The first club to show interest is Manchester United. Foot01 reported that "Many clubs in the Premier League are keeping an eye on Lee Kang-in, among which Manchester United is taking a proactive stance. Coach Amorim particularly values Lee Kang-in's creativity and game management skills."

Lee Kang-in's agent Javier Garido has also been revealed to have contacts with several teams in England. Lee Kang-in has discussed with Aston Villa, Everton, and Manchester United, all of which are classified as potential candidates for his transfer.

The Athletic reported that "Arsenal is considering Lee Kang-in as part of a long-term project and prefers a loan followed by a permanent transfer." Metro reported that "Manager Arteta is seriously considering Lee Kang-in to fill the gap left by injuries in the attacking line."

The Sun and Lequipe also reported that PSG could begin negotiations with Arsenal on the premise of transferring Lee Kang-in, analyzing that North London is a likely destination for him.

Napoli in Serie A is also showing an active attitude. Corriere dello Sport reported that "Napoli has targeted Lee Kang-in as a key acquisition in the summer transfer market, with the transfer fee expected to reach 40 million euros (approximately 62.3 billion won)."

Le Parisien suggested that if coach Conte wants Lee Kang-in, PSG is willing to consider transfer offers.

Siamo Il Napoli added, "Napoli is focusing on acquiring young and creative midfielders, and Lee Kang-in has made it to the top of the list."
