“Neither the Mallorca management nor Javier Aguirre are willing to lose one of their best players. Lee Kang-in scored 2 goals and 4 assists in 1533 minutes, leading the Mallorca attack with Bedat Muriki. The club that wants to recruit Lee Kang-in is in the position that it has to pay a buyout of 7 million euros (22.8 billion won).”
Spain’s Juanmi Sanchez also posted on social media, “Lee Kang-in is dissatisfied with Mallorca Sports Management. He doesn’t understand that the club rejected two important offers. The club informed Lee Kang-in that he could not leave the team in January.”
Lee Kang-in seems to be angry with the club that is blocking his transfer in the transfer market this winter.

Marca said Lee Kang-in followed Mallorca’s Instagram and then unfollowed him. Spanish reporter Alberto Cerezo said, “Lee Kang-in has unfollowed the club. He’s behaving like a 13-year-old getting mad at his co-workers. It is not a solution,” he pointed out.
