After Messi left, Grand Paris wanted to buy a South Korean to replace him
In his third full season , Lee Gang-in, born on February 19, 2001, became the third most expensive player in South Korean football.
Over the past 12 months, his theoretical value in the "German transfer market" has risen from €6 million to €22 million.
The only two players who can do more are Son Heung-min (60 million euros), a former Premier League Golden Boot and who experienced pain last season, and Kim Min-ya (60 million euros), a veteran of the Chinese Super League who has just won the best defender in Serie A and is infinitely close to Bayern Munich.
Li Gangren is about to move to Greater Paris.
A few days ago, in the revelations of transfer experts Romano and the "team newspaper", Li Gangren's scandal with Paris Saint-Germain became more and more true, and he is likely to appear in the announcement of the Ligue 1 giants after the international break.
The South Korean international's transfer fee is said to be around 20 million euros, and Paris Saint-Germain's rival is Atletico Madrid, who are hoping to strengthen the midfield.
Some netizens quipped: "Is this the record that Paris Saint-Germain made after Messi left?" ”
If it comes to selecting the MVP of Asian players in Europe for the 2022-2023 season, Li Gangren, who has been sticking to La Liga for five years, definitely deserves a candidacy.
Throughout the season, he was fluent in Spanish, and Mallorca, who got out of the relegation zone, maintained a regular position, accumulating 3,082 minutes of playing time, the second highest in the team.
Not only that, Li Gangren, who gained more freedom on the offensive end, sent the same personal record of 6 goals and 7 assists, making a total of 13 goals, only less than the team's top scorer Muric who scored 16 goals and 4 assists.
And, in last season's La Liga midfield statistics, there were only three players who could play more than 5 goals + 5 assists, and the South Korean international occupied a place; In La Liga's list of absolute chances, Li Gangren can also tie Benzema with 14 times, tied for 5th place in the league.
In addition, the former, which is not fast but very rhythmic, can compete with Vinicius in the dribbling table, with 134 attempts and 90 successful figures, and the success rate of 67.2% is even higher than that of Brazilians.
It can be said that after surviving the adaptation period of the first four years, Li Gangren, who intends to train in small and medium-sized teams, finally achieved his wish.
Li Gangren's father is a taekwondo coach and his mother is a kindergarten teacher, and due to his father's addiction to football (worship Maradona) and taekwondo, Li Gangren also became involved in sports early.
In 2007, 6-year-old Li Gangren was invited to participate in the third season of the youth football variety show produced by KBS TV - "Fly! Shooter", under the guidance of international star Yanagi Sang-tie, he is alive and accepts various challenges.
Wearing a striking captain's armband and shooting with his left foot, Lee Gang-in has already shown extraordinary talent, and after the show was broadcast, he even sparked heated discussions among Korean fans on the Internet.
Four years later, under the operation of a Spanish brokerage company, Li Gangren got the opportunity to go to Spain for a trial, and Valencia, known for its youth training, became the starting point of his dream.
Lee Gang-in is a South Korea international.
Lee is truly known for his time at the 2019 Under-20 World Cup, where he became the first East Asian player in tournament history to win the best player title after leading South Korea to runner-up.
Previously, the top youth tournament, which lasted for nearly half a century, produced only one Asian Golden Ball player – UAE midfielder Ismail Matar in 2003.
Regarding the South Korean No.10, who played well in that tournament, FIFA commented: "Still calm and calm under the big scene, the youngest player of the Korean team has become the focus of attention. Whether it's controlling the tempo or delivering a lethal pass in the attacking three, his performance is commendable. ”
Lee experienced the first World Cup of his career late last year, and spent most of his time with South Korea, where he was used as a backhand by Bento, coming on late in the second half.
Although playing time is limited, Lee Gang-in, who plays with tasks, can often bring changes to the central midfield of the Korean team. Now it seems that his first experience in Qatar has been a preview of Mallorca's second half of the season.
After the revelations that Lee Gang-jin appeared in Romano and the "Team Newspaper", Sungmo Lee, a South Korean journalist active in European and American media, said: "There are many big Paris fans who come to me and ask, how is Lee Gangren? In my opinion, you buy such a player for 20 million euros in the current transfer market, it is simply a 'robbery'. ”
Whether this evaluation is boastful or not, their transfer rumors, talent iteration and confidence alone are enviable.
