Paris Saint-Germain is entering a decisive phase of its summer transfer window. While the club management works on finalizing the departure of Gonçalo Ramos, the situation surrounding Kang-In Lee is also reaching a boiling point. The South Korean international’s future has become a primary focus following his national team’s early exit from the 2026 World Cup.
Significant changes are expected within the PSG squad in the coming weeks. As Luis Enrique looks to reshape his team with fresh talent, some current players are preparing to move on. With Gonçalo Ramos reportedly on the verge of signing with AC Milan, Kang-In Lee is expected to follow him through the exit door. The 25-year-old has attracted strong interest from Atlético de Madrid, and negotiations are poised to accelerate rapidly.
World Cup elimination speeds up Kang-In Lee transfer
The race to secure Kang-In Lee could conclude as early as next week. His immediate future was tied to South Korea‘s performance in the 2026 World Cup. The national team had hoped to progress to the knockout stages as a best third-place finisher, but their tournament has come to an end. This development allows Atlético de Madrid to push forward with their pursuit. The Spanish club sees him as a vital addition, with his playing style drawing comparisons to Antoine Griezmann, who has since transitioned to MLS with Orlando City.
Paris Saint-Germain sets price for South Korean star
The leadership at PSG will not stand in the way of a transfer if the right conditions are met. Kang-In Lee is reportedly eager to join the Colchoneros, seeking a more central role than what is currently available at the Parc des Princes. To authorize the move, the Parisian club is holding out for a transfer fee in the region of €30M to €35M. The next few days will be crucial in determining if the two clubs can reach a final agreement.
