The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player's value is reportedly skyrocketing, and they've even made an offer for him, but PSG have shown their love for him by quickly rejecting the offer. However, despite PSG's love for the player, he is not in their projected best 11 for next season.
On March 23 (KST), soccer statistics site TransferMarkt released its predicted starting XI for the 2024-2025 season. The list includes all of PSG's current players, as well as players who could be on the move.
In a 4-3-3 formation, the front three is Victor Osimhen (Napoli), Jadon Sancho (Manchester United), and Ousmane Dembele. In the midfield, Vitinha, Warren Zaire Emery, and Joao Neves (Benfica) formed a back four of Nuno Mendes, Lucas Veraldo, Marquinhos, and Ashraf Hakimi. Gianluigi Donnarumma was the starting goalkeeper.
What caught my eye was the absence of Lee Kang-in's name.
Lee Kang-In has been rumored to be the subject of intense interest from EPL clubs recently. In particular, Newcastle United, armed with 'oil money', have reportedly made an offer. Prior 카지노 커뮤니티 to that, Napoli had asked for Lee in exchange for Osimhen, but PSG rejected the offer.
It's clear that Lee has the trust of Luis Enrique. But that doesn't mean he's a guaranteed starter. He“s the future of the team, but he”s not guaranteed a starting spot due to the composition of the squad. This is evident when you look at the players in Lee's position in our predicted best 11. Vitinha is the nucleus of PSG's midfield, while 2006-born Zaire Emery is the club's most promising youngster. The same goes for Neves, who is expected to join the club.
Lee joined PSG last season with a lot of hype, but in hindsight, he wasn't a solid starter. His future value is unquestionable enough for PSG to take matters into their own hands, but the competition for the starting role will be tough this season.
