Following a relatively quiet transfer window last summer, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is gearing up for a more dynamic approach in the coming weeks. The club is expected to experience significant activity on both the departure and arrival fronts, with the situation surrounding Kang-In Lee drawing particular attention. Speculation about his future has intensified in recent weeks, with the Atlético Madrid reportedly leading the race to sign the South Korean midfielder.
Since joining PSG in 2023, Kang-In Lee, now 25, has struggled to secure a regular starting spot under manager Luis Enrique, despite delivering strong performances when given the chance. His departure has been rumored for some time, and Atlético Madrid has emerged as the most determined suitor. The Spanish outfit remains interested in the player, who is already familiar with La Liga after his stint with Mallorca.
Atlético Madrid closes in on Kang-In Lee
Recent reports suggest that Atlético Madrid is actively pursuing two key targets, one of which is Kang-In Lee. While the club is also in talks with Sporting CP over the potential signing of midfielder Hjulmand, the South Korean international remains a priority. Although he is under contract with PSG until 2028, the likelihood of his exit appears to be growing.
Kang-In Lee’s club future uncertain amid international setback
With Kang-In Lee set to represent South Korea at the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, his recent elimination in the group stage of the qualifiers has given him additional time to weigh his club options. To finalize a deal, Atlético Madrid may need to present an offer close to the €28 million valuation cited by Transfermarkt, reflecting his current market worth.
