Kang-in Lee: No PSG Exit in January Transfer Window

While he has not appeared in the PSG jersey since December 17 and a thigh injury sustained during the Intercontinental Cup final won against Flamengo, Kang-in Lee is at the heart of the news for the capital club this winter. For several days, the name of the 24-year-old South Korean (he will be 25 on February 19) has been regularly mentioned by Spain and more precisely by Atlético de Madrid who appreciate his profile as a versatile player.

This Tuesday afternoon, Iberian media were still reporting interest from the Colchoneros and spoke of a possible departure of Kang-in Lee during the winter transfer window which closes on February 2. La Cadena Sar suggested that the South Korean international would be open to a departure and that he would welcome a return to La Liga where he played with Valencia and Mallorca.

Determined to return to competition with Paris

According to our information, this scenario is not on the agenda today. Kang-in Lee, author of two goals and three assists in 21 matches played this season, has no intention of leaving PSG in the coming weeks. Under contract until June 2028, the left-hander still sees his future in Paris and is delighted to play in the jersey of the European champion club.

A position that contrasts with his desires expressed last summer. Unhappy with his use and his playing time, Lee then told his managers that he was open to leaving. This winter, the situation is different: number 19 is determined to defend the colors of PSG and now hopes to return to competition soon.
