Lee Kang-in will be kicked out of PSG behind 'humiliating' release and '17-year-old' divinity

Local media continue to predict that French professional football team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will release Lee Kang-in (24) this summer. Some even predict that Lee Kang-in's vacancy will be filled with players who were born in 2007 and are only 17 years old. It is humiliating for Lee, who has already proved his ability on the European stage.
French media Sport said on the 23rd (Korea time) in an article titled "Will the 17-year-old rookie, who has been pointed out as a target for recruiting PSG General Manager Louis Campos, forgets Lee Kang-in?" "This rookie can play both center and side. Young age, flexibility and potential perfectly match PSG's strategy."
"Campos is preparing for a large-scale release this summer, and Lee Kang-in can also be transferred if he gets a good offer," he said. "PSG is preparing for a new generation by reducing the size of the team. Mastantuono could be the first piece of the PSG project in the 2025-2026 season."
Reportedly, 17-year-old Shin Seong is Franco Mastantuono who plays for River Plate in Argentina. Born in August 2007, Shin is a left-footed midfielder who can play as an attacking midfielder or right winger. Coincidentally, Lee Kang-in and main position are also left-footed.
It is also a sacred place that attracts attention from all over Europe. Not only PSG, but also other big clubs including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, AC Milan, and Inter Milan are paying attention to this talent. As his contract with River Plate is scheduled to expire in December next year, more and more attention is being paid to it.
Still, the situation is almost a humiliation for Lee. Lee already advanced to the European leagues at an early age and demonstrated his talent throughout his career through Valencia and Mallorca. In this season alone, he had accumulated six goals and six assists in the French Ligue 1 pro soccer league. Despite limited playing time, he had only 19 chances to select players among the 30 league matches, but he had the fourth highest number of offensive points within his team.
Moreover, the contract between Lee Kang-in and PSG is still three years away until June 2028. Nevertheless, it is more of a humiliation than a regret that the club is mentioned as a candidate for release after just two years of recruitment, and that the recruitment of a 17-year-old player, not other large-scale players, is in the background. 안전놀이터
There is even a harsh evaluation of 'failed recruitment' in the region. "Lee Kang-in is no longer considered an essential player as he still has not been established as a main player after his transfer to PSG," Sport said. "PSG spent 22 million euros (about 34.2 billion won) on recruiting Lee Kang-in, which is considered a de facto failed recruitment." It is also the background of constantly spreading rumors of Lee Kang-in's release in the region.
