Lee Kang-in’s Future in Limbo as PSG Await Concrete Offers

Lee Kang-in’s status at Paris Saint-Germain has entered a state of uncertainty, with Sport and L’Équipe reporting that the French champions are open to a sale—but no formal offers have yet arrived.

The 24-year-old South Korean international struggled to cement a starting role last season and has reportedly become a dispensable asset within the PSG squad. However, the club is hesitant to offload Lee without securing a versatile replacement capable of covering multiple attacking positions.

Lee has attracted interest over the past few months from Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa, as well as Serie A side Napoli. But with PSG occupied by the Club World Cup and pre-season duties, those clubs have shifted focus to alternative targets, leading to a standstill in negotiations.

Financially, PSG have already received offers and interest in other areas of the squad, but replacing Lee’s profile remains a logistical challenge. His technical ability and adaptability—often playing as a No.10, winger, or even deeper midfielder—have made him a valuable squad player, if not an undisputed starter.

For now, PSG have opted not to push his exit. Whether that changes later in the window may depend on late-market opportunities and if an offer finally lands on their table.
