Lee Kang-in, 토토사이트who has grown into a top midfielder in the Spanish La Liga this season, is attracting the attention of many teams by improving his speed and defense as well as his strengths of kick and pass.
Several clubs showed interest in the transfer last winter as well, but the transfer was canceled as Mallorca strongly stated that it did not want to lose a key player in the middle of the season.
In fact, a transfer is likely in the coming summer. A club has already expressed its intention to pay his buyout of 18 million euros (approximately 26.3 billion won), and Mallorca also expressed its opinion that it could send Lee Kang-in if only the buyout was paid.
In the midst of this, Lee Kang-in’s recruitment match is now being compressed into a 4th match with major clubs in the Premier League.
