Lee Kang-in, who did not attend training for 'No Transfer', sold out to Spain for vacation + individual exercise
Rumors of a transfer of Lee Kang-in 23, Paris Saint-Germain are expected to stop at happening. Lee Kang-in uploaded a photo on his social network service SNS on the 19th. In the photo, Lee Kang-in sweated while focusing on his personal exercise even though he visited Spain for vacation. Paris Saint-Germain PSG began pre-season training during the week. With most of the players except for the international competition returning, Lee Kang-in could not be found. Rumors of a transfer naturally surfaced. "Lee Kang-in is the target of Newcastle United's general manager Paul Mitchell," the British media outlet McFay reported. "Newcastle is willing to pay PSG 40 million pounds about 71.9 billion won. Some predicted the possibility of Kim Min-jae's transfer to Naples. "PSG can offer Lee Kang-in as a trade card to recruit Victor Osimhen Napoli," said Gianluca Di Marzio, an expert on the transfer market. As rumors poured out that the training was not available and the timing was strangely right, Loic Tanzi, a reporter for the French media "L'Equipe," who is well-versed in PSG news, began to calm the situation. "Lee Kang-in is also one of the people who has been given more vacation time, and is scheduled to return on the 22nd," he said on the 19th. In fact, Lee Kang-in did not have as much rest as the players who participated in international competitions. Immediately after the end of last season, he completed the second qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North Korea and China. He joined the national team led by interim coach Kim Do-hoon and played against Singapore and China. Contrary to popular expectations, PSG is in a position to never sell Lee Kang-in. French media "Foot Mercato" said, "An anonymous Premier League club offered to recruit Lee Kang-in," adding, "PSG rejected it despite the large amount of 70 million euros about 106 billion won." PSG coach Luis Enrique also praised Lee Kang-in last summer. "Lee Kang-in is a huge star and a very important player for us," he said, adding, "He knows how to sacrifice for the team and has both talent and potential even at a young age."
