[스포츠서울 정다워기자] Will Lee Kang-in (20) eventually remain in Valencia this time?
With the end of January, Lee Kang-in’s move is still in the dark. There is a series of news that Spain’s La Liga’s Real Betis and France’s Liguen’s AS Monaco are showing interest, but no specific movement has been revealed. Manchester City, which appeared most often, is no longer being mentioned as a destination candidate. Rather, in the winter transfer market, it was reported that the transfer could be delayed this summer, or the next winter, when the contract period remains 6 months, and the transfer can be freely promoted.
Winter Transfer Market Transfers are not always easy. Usually, in January, teams in need of reinforcement or immediate rebound attempt to recruit. In the case of Lee Kang-in, born in 2001, he is considered a player with enormous talent with a promising future. However, teams that want an immediate sense of power are likely to look for players who are already skilled. Moreover, over the past year, the European football market has fallen into a downturn due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). Each club is facing financial difficulties due to evaporation of audience positions, broadcasting rights, and marketing revenue. He became more cautious about recruiting players and was in a situation where it was difficult to bring out large amounts of money. This can be seen as a background in which Lee Kang-in’s transfer, which has not been sufficiently verified, has not progressed.
It is regrettable for Lee Kang-in, but it is not just frustrating. Currently, Kang-in Lee is jagged, but he is steadily playing games in his own way. Even if the desired amount of time was not guaranteed, he played 13 games and digested 640 minutes. It has already exceeded the total playing time last season. It’s not the best situation, but it’s not the worst given the age of Lee Kang-in, who turns 20 next month alone.
In addition, Kang-in Lee has consistently rejected Valencia’s offer to renew the contract. In summer, the contract period is only one year left. When it comes to winter again, Valencia cannot even collect the transfer fee and has to send Lee Kang-in. The irritated side means Valencia. By the end of this season, you can find a new team relatively leisurely. It is expected that there will be enough teams to recruit Lee Kang-in if the transfer fee is adequate. Valencia is also entering a phase where it cannot be held. Lee Kang-in, who is recognized for his talent in Europe, is highly likely to spend the next season on a new team if he shows some performance for the rest of the season.
