Kang-In Lee will not have needed to go into a standoff with Paris Saint-Germain. Summoned with South Korea to compete in the Asian Games (JA) from September 19 to October 8, the Parisian recruit was, initially, confronted with the capital club’s refusal to release him as the event sports is not listed in the official FIFA calendar.
Less than 24 hours later, PSG finally changed its mind by authorizing the 22-year-old winger to join its selection to participate in the sporting event which will be held in China. According to Ace, the former Mallorca player could avoid 21 months of compulsory military service if he wins the JA soccer tournament. A situation which is reminiscent of that of his teammate at the Taeguk Warriors, Heung-Min Son. In 2019, the Spurs striker won gold with South Korea and was allowed to fulfill his military obligations in just three weeks.
