RCD Mallorca tried to keep hold of Lee Kang-in, who was set to leave the club in the summer.
According to Spain’s ‘Marca’ on July 7 (local time), Mallorca had already prepared to re-sign Lee in January.
Lee joined Mallorca on a free transfer from Valencia in August 2021. He scored six goals and provided seven assists in 39 appearances under Javier Aguirre in the 2022-2023 season. It was his best season as a professional, with the most appearances and double-digit offensive points for the first time.
His standout performances for Mallorca led to interest from fellow Spanish La Liga side Atletico Madrid. English Premier League teams like Aston Villa and Newcastle United have also been monitoring Lee.
Lee is under contract with Mallorca until June 2025. However, he has a buyout clause that allows any team to sign him for a set amount. Lee’s buyout clause is reportedly between 17 and 30 million euros ($238 and $419 million). That’s a lot of money for any team.토토사이트
Mallorca were encouraged by Lee’s good performances and tried to extend his contract, but it didn’t work out. “Mallorca tried to hold on to their best player, but they decided to accept Lee’s decision to leave in the summer transfer window,” said Marca. For Mallorca, Lee is not part of their plans for next season.”
Lee will play in the June A-Match against Peru and El Salvador. Lee’s new team will be revealed after the A-match schedule is completed.
