Lee Kang-in returns to PSG training ground and undergoes medical test
Lee Kang-in (23), who plays for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the French professional football league Ligue 1, has returned from vacation and joined his team’s training to prepare for the new season.
PSG announced the news of Lee Kang-in’s return through their website on the 23rd (Korean time).
The club said, “Lee Kang-in returned to the team for training on the 22nd. Lee Kang-in enjoyed a well-deserved vacation and returned to France after helping the Korean national soccer team advance to the third round of Asian qualifying for the 2026 North and Central American World Cup.”
He continued, “Lee Kang-in underwent the team’s traditional pre-season medical test,” and explained, “He went to the training center in the afternoon and trained in the gym. Lee Kang-in will soon begin team training with the players.”
Lee Kang-in, who completed the second round of the North and Central American World Cup qualifiers, returned to PSG ahead of the start of the 2024-2025 season after vacationing and training individually in Mallorca, Spain.
As Lee Kang-in’s return to PSG’s training ground was somewhat delayed, transfer rumors began to surface.
French media also reported that a Premier League club attempted to sign Lee Kang-in for a transfer fee of 70 million euros, but PSG rejected the offer.
It has been reported that the club that wanted Lee Kang-in was Newcastle United.
However, thanks to PSG’s consideration, Lee Kang-in returned to the training ground as scheduled after getting enough rest and began preparing for the new season.
In the medical test released by PSG on this day, Lee Kang-in attracted attention by attaching sensors to his body and wearing a ‘mesh t-shirt’ to test his physical strength while running on a treadmill.
When asked, “Are you ready for the season?” Lee Kang-in smiled as if embarrassed by the mesh T-shirt he was wearing, saying, “I’m ready for the new season, but not yet.”
PSG will open the 2024-2025 French Ligue 1 season with an away match against Le Havre on August 18, local time. 파워볼사이트
