Paris Saint-Germain may face a midfielder’s departure this summer as their South Korean international Lee Kang-in becomes one of the hottest topics in the transfer window.
The attacking midfielder arrived in the French capital in 2023 and is now at the center of a wide transfer after a contract extension talk with the Ligue 1 champion.
Although the contract was not signed until 2028, the players’ long-term future at PSG seems increasingly uncertain.
Negotiations on a new deal have stalled and the club cannot ensure his commitment has opened the door for potential suitors across Europe.

The club’s draft picks include Manchester United, who took action this summer to sign the 24-year-old. Offside.
Ruben Amorim wants to add an offensive midfielder star to his team who can provide creativity and scoring goals. He identified the PSG star as one of his targets.
Atletico Madrid, Naples, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest have all obtained contact or registered interest.
Atletico Madrid, led by Diego Simeone, rekindled their admiration for the players.

The report shows that the La Liga giants are considering a formal approach in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Naples is also struggling to get his signature. With Kevin de Bruyne likely to join them this summer, the Italian side sees PSG organizers as a complement to the new look midfielder.
Lee Kang-In wants an active role
He wants more playing time and a manager who will trust and build around him.
